Elder Paisi Mathos advised one visitor to go to confession. He objected: - Geronda, what good will it do if I confess and then sin again? Then the elder explained to him: - Look, in war, when someone is wounded, say, by a bullet in the leg, doesn't he first have to go to the doctor to get bandaged? If he says: "Why go bandage when I get injured again? ", then he will die prematurely from bleeding or infection, which he could have avoided. The same thing happens with sins. Therefore you confess, and if you fall again, then confess again. And so it will be until you stop falling.
