I speak to those of you who want to overcome a porn addiction. Thank you for coming to my site. I have been struggling for years with an addiction to porn and I have finally decided that I have had enough. It has been a long journey, but I am giving all that I got now and am realizing how necessary personal effort is in overcoming an addiction like this.
Pornography is mesmerizing and our brains are so good at “helping” us to rationalize what is obviously a practice in deception, deception of the model, deception of the sellers, deception in self and society’s acceptance of that which binds many down to a connection with fantasy rather that with real people.
Overcoming porn addiction is a tough battle. There are several obstacles that I’ve come to identify in my own efforts to break free from its tight grasp:
- Keep it secret, keep it going. One of the more difficult things to do is to admit to yourself that you have a problem, let alone admitting it to others. However, a powerful chain is broken when you share with others that with which you struggle.
- Doubt disables deliverance. Hope is one of the most powerful tools you have in your arsenal. Hope helps you learn from relapses. Hope helps you to see the situation for what it is, temporary. Hope allows you to find joy in the journey, not just the destination. And the best part is, Hope is Real!
- If you’re alone, you’re weak. Unfortunately this deception is one of the most common and most terrible lies. First of all, you are NEVER alone! Others can understand what you’re going through. Your behaviors doesn’t just affect yourself, it affects others. And you need others to overcome your porn addiction. Reach out, serve and trust others. You will be amazed at the power you gain from it!
- “I’ll grow out of it.” For some reason, this one really got me. I have believed that it is just a phase and that one day I will wake up and not have the need for porn anymore. Unfortunately, this deception leads one to in action and thus no progress is made in healing. You won’t “just grow out of” porn addiction.
Involving others with your recovery is essential. Reach out and take courage. Overcoming your porn addiction is possible.
