>I feel like out of this sole act, I already made myself my own path to hell.

"But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!' I tell you, this man went down to his house justified"

The Rosary https://8ch.net/christian/res/670387.html

>"No one can live continually in sin and continue to say the Rosary. Either they will give up sin or they will give up the Rosary."

— Bishop Hugh Doyle

God bless !

If you recognize that you fell short of God's standard, admit your failure, and don't try to justify it, that shows that your heart is on the right path. Everyone messes up, sometimes very badly, but your attitude tells me that you are listening for the Spirit's voice and trying to do better.

Don't try to make up for it, Jesus already did that. Just accept that God forgives you, forgive yourself, and remember how badly giving in to sin feels the next time you are tempted.

You will fail again, and it will feel just as bad, but we would never know the right path if we didn't stumble onto the wrong one from time to time.

As someone who has gone through this same situation: hang in there. It's something to learn from, not something to beat yourself up over.

Go to confession ASAP, also play a full rosary in the church as this is a plenary indulgence
