Yesimlds Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 I have been home from my mission for 6 months, I've started masturbating and I've looked at porn yesterday and today briefly. I know I can repent but I've let so many people down. What's my next action. Just go talk to the bishop on Sunday? Quote
classylady Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Pray and ask for forgiveness. He will forgive you. The hardest thing to do is to learn to forgive yourself. I always found it much easier to forgive others for their weaknesses and failings than any of mine. Intellectually, I always knew the atonement was for everyone, but I always have had a hard time accepting it for myself. I guess I just always figured I should have been better at obeying the commandments than others. I have no idea where that idea came from--because I'm a member of the Lord's church and I should know better? But, the Gospel wouldn't be needed if we were all perfect. Go to the bishop. He can help.

Sadsister Posted September 4, 2013 Report Posted September 4, 2013 Please do go to the bishop. My screenname comes from my brother not getting enough help (I am not sure if he ever saw a bishop) for those exact sins, and they led to worse things. There are wonderful programs out there to help you now. You will feel so much better, I am sure. Quote
