lol. Trying to get around the rules by linking to a pastebin that contains a short link to your church I think will make you pretty unpopular.

Best approach would be for OP to consider therapy with a psychologist, after all it is a mental health issue, addiction, dependence etc, covering it up with an imaginary man in the sky isn't treating it. That is about as good as trying to "pray the gay away".

They will likely run through https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy which is used for a lot of things like that.

Care to share which rules?

> covering it up with an imaginary man in the sky isn't treating it

I'm sharing facts about what really worked for me. Are you calling me a liar?

Could be considered as advertising, spruiking, or spamming.

There must be a reason you linked to a pastebin with a bit.ly link - that's pretty dodgy.

Facts that cannot be verified.

> Are you calling me a liar?

It would not be the first time someone on the internet lied. Also nice try in dropping that red herring there.
