[QUOTE="Jacques Bel, post: 1548537, member: 22957"] From a spiritual point of view, as a Catholic, I highly encourage you to pray the Rosary (or if you're not completely comfortable with the Catholic version, the prayer rule of St. Seraphim of Sarov). I can't explain how or why, but all I know is that when I pray the Rosary, things go well, I get less tempted (or stronger against temptations) and I drastically reduce my sinning. However, the moment I stop praying it, I come back to my old habits in a very strong way. Try it, and see. Also, get to confession and receive the Eucharist frequently. From a practical standpoint, you must analyse your habit and avoid falling there. Where do you meet with prostitutes? Avoid getting there. When do you go there? Fill up that time with your family/hobby/whatever. Who reminds you of prostitutes? Avoid being with that person. You can only win with the help of God. Desperation comes from the enemy. But please, be very diligent about this, and be honest with God and with yourself, for you're not only risking your own soul, but the ones of your wife and specially your children. With the help of God, you can help them grow up and become great men. But if you're not diligent enough in a practical level, you'll break your family and harm your kids for all of their lives. So don't be proud. We are weak. Get professional help if you need it! And throw yourself into the arms of God. Trust Him. You're closer to Him each day, you despise sin and you want His help. Keep praying and fighting. I'll pray for you. [/QUOTE]
