Default (Greek) Eastern Orthodox Church-confession?

hello there,
I just would like to know what type of things I should confess when I go to the priest. I`m not sure if it has to tell all the stupid thing that I`vie done-like watching porn and stuff,or it has to be more serious things?

Thank you

It should include the roots of all things such as the sin of lust which results in watching porn; the sin of pride which results in _____________; the sin of ____________ which results in _____________. Include any sin that has caused you to harm yourself, others, the environment (because it is God's creation). Sinning against yourself and against others IS sinning against God.

Bring for healing things done TO you such as, "I want to bring to God's healing my sufferings from so-and-so betraying my trust". These hurts, too, keep one separated from God so bring them before his mercy -- even if you were not the cause of them....even if you believe that the offender does not deserve forgiveness. That is not your determination. Confession is about YOU being set free from ALL that separates you from the Father's love.

You have to confess every thing you think you did wrong and the priest will tell you how serious it was. Porn is not all that minor because it amounts to lust for your neighbor's wife. A priest might ask you to say the creed 10 times. A mullah would probably ask you to stone the woman.

First sin is sin there is no difference as all sin spates us from God.
so confess all you can think of and puts weight on your soul.
