So I was a hardcore pot smpoker, party drinker, and a Hardcore sex addict.  Evry day 5-6 times a day every day that I had the chance to do it. for my whole life since I was 16 years old.

I struggled through 10 years of no smoking, but I picked up the drinking in place.  I had to get pleasure from somewhere, you mknow.  The sex also increased too, but I would be able to battle it off for a few weeks or even 6 months at one point.  But it was a struggle the whole time through.  until I surendered to the one true God.

10 plus ten is 20, thats the only true answer.  There is only one God.  There isn't a team of gods as it was in the mythology era.  ANd guess what, until you discover that one true God, He won't help you.  The personal relationship you have with God is EVRYTHING.  It allows you to recognize him through a clear window, not a foggy one where you can't hear or see Him.  How can He help you if you have a distorted or diffeernt idea of who He really is.  Some of you are close, like 10 + 10 = 18, and some are way off like 10 + 10 = 12, but until you nhit it right on the dot, He can't help you.  otherwise He would be supporting a corupted image of himself.  When you discover who God really is, to the dot, then and only then will He say, Ok, yo9u finally got it, you are ready to be healed once and for all.  No more stuggles!  trust me, I struggled for a long time, so I know exactly what you are going through.  Let me tell you, I would be exactly like one of you, suffering through my dilemna the whole time.  God the fahter is like the bigtime CEO of the biggest company in the universe, he's got plenty of calls and meetings, and we try to get through to him, but we can't get trhough.  We ned a middle man or mediator to get through, but who?  Hold on, wait!  He has a son who we know, and let me tell you, He loves His son, and His son loves Him.  His son says, I'll tell the father about nyour problems and I will drop everything to help you, because I love you and the CEO father loves you too.

By makeing up a "higheer power, you become that higher power.  you cannot jjust pick a name out of a hat.  But rather you have to be chosen by your higher power and you have to surender all of yourself to that higher power.  When I say surender, i don't mean just for the sake of your lust or addiction, or problem, but for the sake of your soul.  Not on the weekends, or 6 days a week, or for 364 days a year.  I'm talking every second of every day.  Obvioualy, we live in this world, and we have things to take care of like family, business, respoci8bilities, etc.  but if you truly believe in your higher power, and not a equalo or even lower power, you will trust that higher power so much that everything is in HIS control.  God created you from dirt.  Do you think your God is struggling with some mediocre passion you are having if He made the ocean and sky from just His saying so?  And if God mdid create everythign around us and has control over everything aroun d us, what then can we give Him?  The only thing we can give God is utter dependancy when we are weak and when we have problems an d thanks / praise when we are victorious through Him.  Maybe we can give him our time and work on something in respect to him?  Thats like a child asking his dad for 5 dollars to go buy his dad a gift.  It's not really our 5 dollars to begin with.  To thiunk you can give God anything that is not already his is a doistyorted view of reality.

We do have free will through!  that is why we were created in the image of God.  We can make a decisions, we are not animals who act on emtions and physiology.  What can we make from this except a decision based off free will?  And what is the definition of "Free Will"?  It means to be free, not prisioner.  From the sounds of it, nobody here is free to make a decision, the sex is making the decisions for you.

Romans 7 ( about being a slave to sin from Paul).

Who feels like this, who is here because they are healed 100% and just want to help their friends out of love and desire in an unselfish manner to serve their God?  And who is here because they truly cannot trust themselves?  It's true,. we cannot trust ourselves at all.  We are waering this clothes of sin of addition, of flesh that wants pleasure.  That needs pleasure.  The flesh is an amazing thing, it fights with our pure spirit who has a conscience.  You know the devil and the Higher poweron your shoulder who don't fight, but rather debate for your decision?  The Higher power doesn't tempt you with morality or Law, becuse to the flesh, the Law is unnatractive and has no benefit or pleasure.  But the Devil, whoa boy, He's got firepower.  He has 5 second orgasms, naked girls, new material, plenty of ammo.  It's like you are a slave to him.  I have to tell you, you have no choice as long as you are living in this body and have experienced the pleasure of sex.  What has to be done is three things.  You must first give your Higher power the authority of contil over your decisions with complete surrender.  2nd, you must have a wife to enjoy sex with properly, and third you must replace your powerful desire and need for sex with reverence and admiration of your higher power.  You cannot be a slave to two masters.  You cannot serve sex and the devil, yet still surrender to your higher power.  It's one or the other, and if you are struggling day by day with sex and throughts and temptation, then you are still wrestling with the devil, and your higher power is just a ploy put there by the addiction in order to satisfy your soul(which is fails to do) and still manage to save you for later when you are weak and ready to relapse.  Consider yourselves "prisoners" waiting to be weakened so you can be called to serve.  Doing this yourself is only going to hold you off until your addiction builds up like a rubber band and creeps back in.  I quit for 10 years and slowly relapsed 2 more years until I found myself in worse condition than when I first started.  Addiction has your whole earthly life to wait, it doesnt mind.  It is not subject to the laws of physics or time and space.  It is a spirit that possesses you and lays in crouching position for you to be weak, then it wais some more and waits for you to be weaker, and then it waits until you are weak and have your guard let down...  then it pounces for the kill.  What predator waits until a risky move to attack.  No it waits until the sure fire chance to go for the jugular and kill its victim.  Alone, we are all sitting ducks.  Picking a deity out of hat is not going to help you more than a brief moment.  Picking the one true Higher power will save you.  And this is the reason you all are still struggling with this problem.  The one true God is still waiting for you to come in abd fully surender.
