Sid Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I broke the law of chastity. I told my bishop. And keep repeating it. Can not forgiving yourself stop you from fully repenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unixknight Posted December 7, 2018 Report Share Posted December 7, 2018 It can't stop you from beginning the repentance process, but yes at some point you do need to forgive yourself. Otherwise you'll never be free of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can not forgiving yourself stop you from fully repenting. People bleed when they are cut - and those cuts tend not to heal very well when rubbed with sandpaper, or immersed in battery acid. i do think there are spiritual parallels. It takes a sort of emotional energy to hate one's self or one's actions - and that energy is definitely used better when redirected towards a hope that leads to change. It's never as simple in practice as it is to talk about it - but there is definitely pragmatism in not hating one's self - beyond just it being the kind thing to do. You can eliminate bad by gently correcting it, or by pummeling the thing that contains it (ie all of us) into submission. You, yourself, are the thousands of reasons why the former is so worth that effort. i hope you can find some peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprh Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 If you really are unable to stop breaking the Law of Chastity, you may find the help you need in the Addiction Recovery Program. It has been very helpful for me. https://addictionrecovery.lds.org/?lang=eng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
