I'm having a really difficult time with being celibate. I have had to start over so many times it doesn't make sense. I need some help. I feel like giving up, but I know that it will be good for me in the long run.

" Broken,

It is only as hard as you make it out to be. Seriously, you saying is hard, lets me know you are no focusing on the celibacy but on the lack of whatever it is you have told yourself you are missing.

So concentrate on you, why you started this journey and focus on learning about yourself and how you relate to those around you.

It was hard for me, at first, but once I decided that I did not need anyone or sex to be happy, everything else that goes with it ceased to matter with it.

Don't give up, there is no reason to do so,

" i find myself being in more control . i dont look at it as being in lack of..if we cant control our desires then how are we to be in controle of other important things in our lives..i know there are things out of our control and maybe this is my control where things were not..but i am more satisfied and my self worth is more than what men treated me..i hold my head up higher and i dont settle for whatever is tossed at me or offered..
i hope you find your self worth and control during this...

" i thought i would be hard for me but instead i just reassessed myself. i made it clear to myself why it was i was doing it and who i was doing it for.
you have to remember that it's for a better you. once you get that mindset in your head it should all be, not entirely easy, but it will def be of a great help to keep you on that right path you want to be on.

it's worked for me "

" Thanks for the advice. I am actually feeling a lot better about it now. Things are going great so far, and I'm just focusing on my goals, and slowly but surely rebuilding my self-esteem. "

" To remain celibate now days is in itself a very challenging task... it is very difficult to practice the same alone, but however if you share, meet and read about the like minded people those who are following the same then this may help in building faith in the process. Just dont give up to that biochemical agitation and focus on your goal... http://celibatemonk.com/ "
