Hi I am in similar situation. I have a sin that I continue and the sin is stealing i wish to repent, but with this being an addiction in me doing it daily.I don't want to ask for forgiveness because I know I cannot fix it in 1 day or 1 week or maybe not even in a month.It's going to take time because it's an addiction.I fear about people's judgment when I tell them I steal i don't like stealing. It's like I'll tell myself I'm not gonna do this because it's bad and I know what's wrong, but then when I get around the thing that I want and I'm not able to get it because I don't have the money or my parents will allow. Me to have it. It's like everything goes blank and I just take it instantly without thinking it's like an impulsive act and every time I do it pushes me further from God. I don't want to be a further from him. I want to be closer to him if anybody has some advice or some guidance for me on how I can stop and how I can work on this send. Please let me know in any of the comments. I'm trying to be a better person and not commit the action of stealing. I wanna honor God in Jesus Christ, but this action does not honor him, it's actually dishonorable, and I fear that if I don't get to help, I may never stop. I don't like the fact that I do this. I don't know why I do it, but if anybody could help me please, I don't have the strength and I need the string, I don't have much confidence in myself.So I may seem a little down
