The site is divided into sections for the several type of people who may come across it, including help for parents wanting to know how to help their children steer clear from pornography’s grasp and how to help those kids who have fallen prey to its tempting allure. It has specific resources for bishops and other leaders, youth specific help and of course help for spouses of those who suffer.

I would highly suggest this resource to anyone that has found that they struggle with temptation to use pornography to cope with the stress in life. I especially suggest the Addiction Recovery Program they have. While not specific to pornography addiction the strong sense I get from it is that it’s nothing more than a powerful step by step way to apply the atonement of Jesus Christ into one’s daily life. I felt a week ago as I listened to the audios of it that it would be an amazing addition to anyone’s study of the gospel. The greatest thing I’ve gained from it thus far (I just started Step 4: Truth) is the strength to look more honestly at my life…to see things how they really are. And after all, isn’t it the Truth that makes us free? Powerful!

Principle 1: There is hope! Addiction is understood very well and there are many who in the chains of porn addiction who have grasped onto that hope and have overcome.

Principle 2: You’re not alone! There are people who know how you feel. There are people tht know how to help and eager to do so. Your addiction is a personal problem, but it affects others as well and can be overcome with the help of others.

Principle 3: You have a choice! Addiction tears down resolve and many often come to a point of feeling like they have no choice – like they were born that way, like there’s nothing they can do, or like the efforts they make are worthless. This is absolutely false. You ALWAYS have a choice and that’s one of the most powerful tools to help you break free.

Now, thinking on the above ideas would be worth your while. Take some quiet moments and let them sink in. Ask yourself how you’ve thought and felt about them in the past and how you feel about them now. When you come to a point of hopefulness consider the following 3 actions you could do immediately to help you move towards freedom from your addiction.

Action 1: What’s most important to you? Take some time to consider and write down the things in life that build you, that make you excited, that bring you a sense of complete and utter joy and fulfillment. This will be a very powerful tool in your recovery. Do something to feel the power of these daily and the strength of your addiction will begin to weaken.

Action 2: Open your heart. Find someone you can trust to share fully what you’re struggling with. You may choose to share with a family member, a clergyman or close friend. This will break the power that your additions holds over you through secrecy. You’ll also realize that you can be loved and accepted and that your addiction may be a challenge to conquer, but it doesn’t determine your worth as a human being.

Action 3: Begin an organized plan. This may be a workbook, an addiction recovery program or going to see a counselor that can work with you to adopt healthy views of sexuality and to discover the joys to be had in freedom from pornography addiction.
