2 Days.
I’ve gone back and forth and had ebbs and flows in my life with porn. I’ve been looking at porn about once a week, sometimes 3 times, sometimes weeks without it. My girlfriend, who I plan on proposing to in 2 months, and I have had a conversation about this before, and what she thought was “relatively managed” to what I thought was were very different. She asked me point blank last night how often I look at porn and I told her. We had a very long conversation about it, and it was the kick in the teeth I needed to truly fight this curse. I’m a firm believer in the Lord and have often wept and been devastated by this sin, but seeing how it hurt her was tragic. I’m taking steps to regain her trust, and I’m committed to trusting the Spirit to guide me through this, but I’m also putting as many steps to accountability as I can in between me and porn. I have a community of dudes I love from my church committed to praying with and for me, I’ve deleted my social media apps, and I’ve gotten started on here. I don’t know why I’m making this post, but please pray with me as I pray with you.
I just really want you to understand you are not an evil person. You are not a sinner for this even though what you hear and what you see will tell you. Otherwise, you are not. You are perfectly normal.
