I’ve reached the point of my journey to where I hate this addiction so much that it’s actually kept me from relapsing. The most recent stint of PMO that I was doing brought me to a scary point to where I really felt like my soul was dying. I’ve been coming to the realization that I’ve been doing this to myself since I was a little boy, and Ive be heaping abuse on him and robbing him of his life all these years. It hurts me to think about this. I’ve been crying out to God for a second chance to live life the right way. I don’t want anyone else to go through what I went through. I promise that I will help other young men get through this disease.
Amen my brother. Our addiction is absolutely heinous. Pornography is so incredibly dangerous because it hijacks a young man’s natural curiosity. Most of us, our frontal cortex was not even close to being fully developed before we found it, used it, developed a dependency on it. We also didn’t know we were addicted until we really tried to pull away. I am with you brother. This addiction grieves me. And I think we are just scratching the surface of how much harm this has ultimately caused.
