i used to struggle with a porn addiction. i no longer am trapped by false affection. porn offers a promise for intimacy that never delivers. it destroys the perspective of love. fake counterfeit love. a false reality. i read books, prayed, sought out counseling because i knew deep down it was causing and would cause destruction to my life. i knew that one day i would get married and i would not want to keep partaking in it. i read a book called numb to known. the book taught me that we should be more curious instead of getting mad at ourselves then repeating the process. asking myself what triggered me to want to do this, being more curious and asking questions would eventually confront the root. the root for me was feeling unworthy and porn would allow me to not feel unworthy for a split second. the feeling wouldn’t be sustainable so that’s why there was a repeating process. addressing the issues with grace rather than condemnation helped. HATING the sin is what it came down to. God delivered me from it. i definitely had to do some leg work. isolation does NOT help. a community where you can be real and honest helps.
