No, but I was strongly tempted to.\n\nIf someone else had yawned near me, I probably would have, though.  ;-)

Resist - Will Power - Resist - Will Power - It is hard even for me. I am on a natural and healthy weight loss plan and I as you still get the urge for something sweet from time to time. I have found that if I keep fruits around that this will help but I do pop a Hershey's Kiss every now and then but don't tell anyone. Doing this has not stopped my weight loss as I am down 27 pounds in just over 40 days so I suppose it doesn't hurt but just don't over do it and I think that you will be all right. Best of luck to you

I have faced a similar problem. what I did is that i started thinking... is what I'm doing good? shouldnt I end this evil. then I decided that I must begin the fight against the temptation. So, I began the fight.. every time I'm on messenger, I try my best to control my self, by keeping the good thoughts in my mind. Each time, I get a bit stronger. Sometimes, I decide not to open the computer at all, but rather do any other safe activity. By time, I became strong enough to overcome the temptation, and have the victory. That was the Holy Spirit who gave me this strength. All thanks to God. I hope, my friend, you will benefit from my real experience and God be with you.

I quit smoking a year ago and the only thing wich worked for me was quitting cold turkey,and doings things i like wich kept me busy like reading, web surfing and each time i felt i was craving for it I´d eat lil chocolate or fruit,I think the best was substituting one habit for another , we´re all diferent and we all might need to use different strategies =). A strong will might be the only thing in common that can help us all..

Once I wanted something so bad that I prayed, fasted, and abstained from a lot of personal pleasures, Just seeking the face of God was all I did during that period. But in his infinite wisdom, he thot it best that he denied me of my hearts desire at that time. But looking back at that time, i count it a blessing that I was denied, what i thot was best for me. For one I resolved in my heart, that though he denied me this i will still serve him all the days of my life, and will keep serving him no matter what circumstances i may face. I consider that to be one of the most significant decisions of my life. Many more great things have resulted from my experiences from that period, for one i am able to share this testimony with you today, as many may want to hear. And looking back at all I have learnt from the episode, i believe that I'm a better man than I would have been if I had been granted what I wanted.----Well i hope this helps.

Not all do.  While you can't necessarily control which thoughts or urges you might have, everyone can control which thoughts and urges they give attention to and, more importantly, every choice they make.  That said, I can honestly say that my mind strayed more as my needs were increasingly not being met.  So I can understand the concept of the relationship between temptation growing stronger in proportion to dissatisfaction in the relationship.

ABOSLUTELY!  I do it all the time.  As a matter-of-fact, I just got done doing it today, just a few minutes ago.  And reading this question makes me want to do it again.  I feel the urge, must fight it, must fight it...

Temptation is the forbidden fruit.

Let's clear something up.  If you are tempted and decided not to do wrong, you're okay.  You did not sin.  Temptation is NOT a sin.  However if you are tempted and you play with it in your head and you do the action in your thoughts, then you have sinned.  For instance, let's say a beautiful woman passes by.  You look at her lustfully, you've sinned.  If you are tempted to look at her that way and you choose not to, it's NOT a sin.  If you look at her and you start undressing her in your mind, then it's a sin.\n\nI hope this helps.

when you are being tempted 1 Corinthians 10:13 says "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man & God is faithful that he would not let you be tempted to what you can bear & when you are tempted he would provide a way out for you stand under it".

Keep trying....Ask God for strength...We as humans will never be perfect and God does not expect us to be. Also whatever situation your in that's causing you to "break your promise'' try to stay away of the thing that causes it. Eg....You promise to not eat chocolate so don't keep any at home or at work.....Stay away from the temptation...But remember God loves you no matter what.

Don't bother, the only way to get rid of a temptation, is to give in to it ;-P

Now that's a true addiction to answers!!! I've not done that, but I've almost said 'lol' in conversation- almost, but managed to stop myself!!

The best way would be to not put yourself in a position where it would be hard for you to say no.  Go to public places, have other people around you - that way you are not tempted to do anything.  Keep yourself busy by doing other things that interest you.
