I struggled with lust for 13 years. I would be clean for a few days, even a few weeks, and then relapse and fall even deeper into it. It drained me of drive in life, and even more importantly distorted my view of God. I always felt unworthy and unable to follow Him. In this I share the truth that God used to open my eyes and set me free. Whether you personally struggle with lust or want to help those who do, I believe this truth needs to be known and shared with as many people as possible. I pray God uses this to bless you or somebody through you.
