Brother in Christ, know that you are not alone in this struggle.
I have recently overcome this myself...still have "hauntings" every now and then. It really takes more than just your own will and self-control to overcome this. You have to submit this to Christ, completely. You have to claim your freedom and victory from this sin. And also very important: you have to TRULY REPENT. As in not want to return to it, even the slightest bit. To be perfectly honest, during my struggles in the past, even though i prayed and supposedly repented, saying to GOD that i don't want to do it anymore...at the back of my mind, i didn't want to stop because i knew i would miss the feeling of that high, which i enjoyed so much then. That is the carnal flesh talking. The high that that activity gives you is undoubtedly very strong, and the pleasure it gives you is something you will definitely crave unless you see it for what it really is...
...SIN. An abhorrent act that is grievously offensive to the GOD we serve and love. A very destructive habit that pulls you away from HIS presence, able to paralyze you in your spiritual growth...making you virtually dead in spirit.
This has been touched earlier in an another post. Please read on it, and find comfort and encouragement. And most of all, your sure way to freedom from this and all other bondage, through the power of our awesome GOD and KING!

I am here for you, as well as the other brethren, to pray for you continually, that you may find your true freedom in Christ alone. Seek HIM earnestly, brother. With all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. HE is waiting for you to surrender completely all areas of your life. Waiting for you to trust in HIM and let HIM be your GOD. So still your body, and have faith. It is a challenge, but our GOD is above all things, and more than able to set you free
[h=3]1 Corinthians 10:13[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]13 [/SUP]There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
[h=3]James 4:7[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
[h=3]1 Corinthians 6:18-20[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[SUP]20 [/SUP]For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
[h=3]1 John 1:9[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
[h=3]Ephesians 6:10-18[/h]King James Version (KJV)
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[SUP]18 [/SUP]Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
GOD bless you and set you free completely, dear brother in Christ!!!
