After lamenting much of what you are lamenting...a priest asked me if I wanted to branch off into new areas of sinfulness.  It helped to give me perspective and focus.

 

Goly gosh your back or I missed you some how, don't sneak up on a tigga like that without warning. Lol

"What will/would ________ think?" is another really good one. When you stop to think of all the great and inspiring people in your life, you don't want to let them down by sinning even if they'd never find out. This has helped me before too. 

 Very wise and sound advice. Many years ago, I had the thought, ”this person really believes that I am a good person… what if she found out what I really am? what a complete letdown that would be for her… I had better change and be the person that she thinks I am."

Pray for me, perpetual habitual sinner here.  On my way to confess same sins from last week.  May the Holy Ghost break the bonds of our enslavement to the sins of our particular weaknesses.

It has been a long time since my last comment here. It happened many times to me too, in many areas. The most common for this kind of problems usually is chastity, but not only. Well, it is a long process. I've come to the conclusion that some things can become an obsession. I've learned I've not only to work on my sins but also on the concept of sin and its psycological consequences. Sometimes to be so concentrated on sin can lead to nevrosis. It's not a joke, it's a thing that can really happen (and, actually, it happens to many persons). I'm not saying you haven't to struggle... I haven't a real answer, not from the spiritual perspective. Well, I'd suggest you to pray, confess, struggle etc., but then? Then we can't ignore that the attitude towards a specific sin is essentially something that begins in our mind and, especially if it deals with sex, also in our body. And we can't control 100% our mind nor our body. That is. I think you could keep this in mind if this is the area of your worries.

Just got out of Confession. What a blessing. The Priest was great. Maybe I'm saying that because of how soft spoken and kind he was when I know I didn't deserve that. It felt good when he asked me when my last Confession was and I said a week ago. Because in the past I would live with these mortal sins on me for months and months till I would finally humble/force myself to go to Confession and finally not let my shame and fear of Confessing keep me away. The problem was I would be 6 months to late. So it felt good today saying my last Confession was a week ago but I truly had nothing to feel good about being at Confession AGAIN today. I wasn't there because I was being scrupulous and Confessing playing a violent video game. I was there Confessing sins that separated me from God and will send me to hell. I had to find a different Church to go to because I didn't want the Priest to recognize me or my Confession. I went to Saint Polycarp a Parish I had never been to. After I confessed my sins the Priest pointed out in this moment right now I'm one of the Holiest people there is. In this moment I am blame free. He asked isn't that odd? How could this be? After what I just Confessed? These sins just happened this week. How could I be considered Holy? And it's all because of Jesus and what he did on the cross and His love for us. We truly are saved by grace.

Please forgive my assumption that you where already trapped by a habitual sin, and I can only speak of my own experience of when you have fallen into habitual sin my experience is you just gotta kis     Keep it simple sit down and ride the basics inc confession until the root of the sin is revealed and then you can yank it out. Nothing out of the ordinary to share out of the ordinary Catholic stuff novenas,sacraments etc though you cool try wetting the soil with 1 or 2 alcoholic beverages every 2nd night b4 bed just to ease your mind Lao as when you lay down it is easier to examine your concience as I find sin causes my brain to misfire, though of course such a practice is not ordinary for normal circumstances, pray to the Holy Spirit b4 you search your mind for the answer. This may make the removal of the sin process faster, though continue the ordinary practices of Catholicism while doing this.. Exercise and strength even for a short term and not a permenant thing unless you want to would definitely aid in the solution. Hope that helps. Oh that's right also it is best to avoid habitual sin by practising as much as you can handle that is available to you through Catholicism to avoid prison.  I really feel for you though

If you have fallen and can't get up. Fellowship will help also or novenas to any of our saints that where bishops(the rook) as when sheep fall over it can be very difficult to get back up. Peace.
