I started watching porn when I was 8. I am now 20 and when I think about how long I have struggled with porn (12yrs) it really puts into perspective just how hard it has been. I have struggled with porn for over half of my life! I am thankful that the Lord has not given up on me, and I know He never will, but I am still thankful for His faithfulness. I am looking forward to a future where porn and masturbation no longer cast a dark cloud over my life and thought process! I am pairing this app with the Word of God and really focusing in on renewing my mind with what the Word says!

You got this brother, I’m 19 now and started when I was 8 too. It really is a struggle but God brought you here for a reason and He believes in you

Running and going to the gym helps too along with cold showers especially when temped to relapse.(these also just improve your self physically and mentally so much. Ex. Cold showers build discipline discipline= more ease at quitting.) setting your Home Screen to a picture of Jesus (advice given by another on this app) helps so much especially if it’s on the cross or smthn because you see it for the half second and think he endured real pain to pay for this silly sin I’m too weak to escape when he was so strong to die for us.
