I have struggled with sexual addiction since childhood age 10. I became a Christian at age 19. I have had some victories along the way but have found it to be very addictive and powerful A couple of years ago I attained four years of purity without having any relapses. The problem is that I am tempted very often and ashamed because I have sexual memories. I attend support groups and pastoral counseling. I fear that God has given me over to sin. The temptations are really powerful and usually I give in to them. I really feel that I am truly hopeless and that the Lord hates me because of my failure and stupidity. I don’t know what else to do
