Reliving The Glory Days Of Sin

Repentance means you are sorry for it. So sorry that you admit it, stop doing it, fix it, and never do it, or anything leading up to it, nor anything like it, ever again; not in this life, nor in the next! If a person cannot meet these simple things, then they have not repented, and are totally guilty. An accounting will be required at the last day, because they have not forsaken the sin!
Behold, he who has repented of his sins, the same is forgiven, and I, the Lord, remember them no more. By this ye may know if a man repenteth of his sins — behold, he will confess them and forsake them.
~ D&C 58:42-43
If the people you harmed forgive you and treat you nicely, it means they are free.  Their forgiveness alone does not mean you are free from that sin. You must still admit it and forsake it, or you remain guilty.

If you are still enjoying that sin, or the results of it, then you have not forsaken it. You are keeping it, and therefore you are certainly not sorry for it. You have not repented, and are still guilty before God, and to whomever you betrayed!

Repent now! Stop it, now, and give it back!
