It takes finding God's "way out" to overcome temptation, but often like St. Augustine said ""Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity."
Sometimes it seems like life is one big test. Sometimes I wish it was not the case. But God has promised that He uses testing to strengthen us and thus it's worth it. Besides if we pass the test there is great gain. I love the words of Theodore Roosevelt who said :
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat".
