True Knights is my ministry, and we have a CATHOLIC support group for sexual addictions.

Visit http://www.trueknights.org for more details. I have a Purity Coaching program called Combat Training, parish based/local support groups called Purity Corps and an online support forum.

Here is the link to our forum...

stop by and receive the support of many who are going through the same struggle, but want to remain pure with the help of Jesus Christ and the teachings of His Church!

God Bless,

No, it's because you're human and the enemy much smarter than you.

Pay back through the sacrament of Confession ASAP and stick it to the enemy!

I think I've read in James to be faithful in repentance, though weak in keeping His commandments.

I am trying to get to confession. I am practically clawing for it.

It is only on saturdays for 40 minutes and I call several local parish to set appointment during weekday and no one returns my call. This is crazy. but I will not give up.

Do not.

Some shrines and cathedrals offer daily confession. Have you tried http://masstimes.org?

Joseph David:

You just a sinner, Like the writer of this passage:

I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me.

So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
Rom 7:15-25

That was ST. PAUL THE APOSTLE

The short lines at the Confessional tell me that a lot of Catholics aren't very conscious of their sins, but that doesn't sound like the problem here.

I thnk you need to KNOW that our Lord forgives you in the same way that HE was slain, "from the foundation of the world".

Do an Examination of Conscience and start going to confession.

If priests don't return your calls, go to a Rectoriy and sit and wait until one comes out. If he doesn't have time then, ask him when he will have time, or ask him if he can contact a priest for you who will have time.

Besides Masstimes, you can check with your diocesan website and see what that says.

This is Holy Week - You would think that someone would be available to hear a Confession.

Here's the site for Pure Love Club:

God Bless, and may everyone have a blessed Holy week.

In Christ, Michael

This is a very good website, with a powerful message. Fr. Emmerich has changed my life, and helped me to see that what happens in the dark, festers in the dark. The only way to become free from sin is to prudently expose your secrets, temptations, and sins with someone you trust.

I'm Catholic, and SA has kept me sober for 17+ years. I heartily endorse it.

Here's a link to the wonderful pastoral letter our good Bishop has just written about pornography.

SA is not Catholic, I have been there and they let you believe that what ever your "Higher power" is , is okay.
It is a 12 step group based on AA.
