Testimony time, all my addictions started in my early teens at the same time drink, drugs, smoking, P, M. Thru being saved and 12 steps I've been clean of the 1st three for 30 years. M doesn't seem to be a problem however I have been unable to get victory over P. I go to church regularly and am involved in RU. I've done various types of counciling and accountability partners, most of which has turned out frustrating at best. I know all the things I should and shouldn't do. I'm looking for saved born again people to walk along side of me.

No, my friend, though quiet at times it is still active. Though you will find that it is women/wives who participate the most. Which I am sorry to say write of feelings more than action to change their inner selves over the trials they go through with their wayward husbands. And though this is pretty normal as you can follow this trait all through scripture starting with the fall of man to the last. (Though sin came through Adam I'd draw your attention to the feelings of Eve at being deceived by Satan. Gen 3:3 but God did say, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it,(Not ordered by God) or you will die.'" Gen 3:4 "You will not certainly die," the serpent said to the woman. Gen 3:5 "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Gen 3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.(NIV)(Feelings in red) I would suggest the talk given by David Pawson on the differences between men and women. Here is the URL of said talk: Male and Female- Whats the Difference?
From what little I've been able to glean from your posts, I'd say your struggle is probably along the same lines as mine in regards to collecting photos. The battle is with control of our hearts and flesh. Is it easy? I'd say no as the female form with sexual undertones has become our Idle that entices us to pursue.
I will say one other thing if you are seeking support: fix your profile page by adding your e-mail address, (phone number for easy contact) and add a different avatar picture to set yourself apart from the standard one. Call me if you want to talk, or e-mail me. Virgil
