Addicted

I started looking at porn when I saw that the girls in the WWF were also in Playboy. The women would come out each Monday smiling and pretty and I soon discovered there pictures online for free and no one around to correct me. I was 13. Now I'm 20 and cant be in a room by myself without looking up the porn i've become addicted to.

My dad has been a pastor my entire childhood and the shame of leading worship or helping with a church event while having this problem has been daunting. I go to a christian University and it seems everyone struggles with this but no one has an answer. If you do please let me know.

I've managed to steer clear of many traps adolescence sets but that's only because i've been so consumed with porn. I don't know what to do but pray and try to love God as much as I can. I wish all of you the best as we struggle with this.

God Bless,
David

Do you want to know how to get free from this addiction? Fast and pray. That's what Jesus said. There are certain things that only come out by fasting and praying. And also be sure you have an accountability partner. If you really want to be free, you HAVE to get radical in dealing with it, because porn is something that can and will get so embedded in our conscious minds that we don't even realize after awhile that we are being controlled by it. Just be sure to continue to surrender yourself to God, every time you are tempted by the devil, and ask for His help, because you cannot do this by yourself, and God doesn't expect you to.
