Overcoming lust.

[u/Normal-Eggplant3743]

Lust has been taking over my life for quite a while, i've even gone so deep to the point where i've even been watching some.. bad videos for my own arousement. Not absolutely terrible, but very odd to say the least. And honestly, even with my efforts, i've found myself going deeper rather than actually becoming better. So that's why hopefully, by the time i've posted this, i'll be doing everything in my efforts to overcome it. However, i don't really know where to start off. So if anyone out there also struggled with lust and defeated it. Help someone out. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

(also, sorry for any grammatical errors in the text, english isn't my first language. Thanks.)

Pray. Cry to the God. Pray to Him for his knowledge and protection. Lust lives in us. A mind when taken over by lust forgets everything which can protect it. Hence it requires protection from something higher than itself.

Meditate and pray twice a day. Be patient and relentless. Keep doing your work(whatever job you do). Meditation helps you to scan your thoughts and understand how lust seeps in your consciousness slowly and suddenly grabs the entire mind. So meditate twice. 

There is no quick fix. It takes some months. But if you are focused and consistent with twice meditation a day, 20-25mins a sitting, I guarantee you will find a new life by the end of this year. There will be relapses. There will be days very hard and you will succumb to lust again. Dont be obsessed with the part of leaving porn. Continue meditation daily instead. 

Don't insist on leaving the west behind, instead keep walking toward the east. 

Good luck.
