Question
I am about as ruined as I think anyone ever has been. I've been addicted to masturbation and pornography for almost four years. It started all innocent like, and it's gotten way out of hand. How in the world will I ever break this habit on my own (I haven't told ANYONE!) and will God ever truly be able to love me again? I'm at an extremely low point in my life and if I don't get help, well, I don't like to think about what might happen. Will God ever truly love me, how should I get over this, and, well, how can I really straighten my life out.

Answer
Can I ask how old you are? I know some things can get out of hand easily and then the habit is hard to break. If you don't mind telling me, what is your religion? As for God loving you again, yes he will. He can do anything and I believe that He can love you again so He will. Repentance is the first thing you have to do. Pray to God and tell Him that you are sorry and that you will try not to do it again. Ask for Him to forgive you. Ask for His help to stay away from that. Try your hardest to not do it again. When you think about doing it, think of different things. When I think of bad things or something like that I sing 2 songs at the same time so I can't fit anything else in my brain. God still loves you. Remember that.
If you have any more questions, just ask.
