Since I was about 7 I have had a huge problem with masturbation. I'm almost 19, so I have been dealing with this for a very long time. It has gotten much worse as I have gotten older and has affected my daily life. I feel stuck and it takes over me. I feel so weak like I will never be able to overcome this. When I am alone, it is the first thing I think to do and I realize I am addicted. I am afraid to get married one day for fear of it causing problems in my marriage. No one knows about this and I don't know what to do. I've tried numerous times to ask God to take this from me and I understand that Jesus died so that I could be free of sin, but for some reason that isn't enough for me to stop. Should I go to counseling? I don't know what to do. I am weak and can't do this on my own. I so wish that God could give me the strength to overcome, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong to receive this strength. God take this from me. Help...
