One talk show and a friend

I was abused sexually without actually knowing when I was about 6 or 7 years old. A good friend of mine came and he was also young, about the same age. He asked me to come with him into the bathroom when he was over and ya....it was not pretty what he was doing, he probably also didn't know what he was doing though because he was young and i suspect that he was affected by his older sister looking at porn. anyways, I never realized what happened that day, but I grew up and never really looked back into what happened until about grade 7 when I had serious insecurities about myself. I screwed up when I was about 13......thats when it all started. I am a Christian and grew up in a Christian house hold. I was not heavily addicted to porn but I was exposed to it at around grade 8 when a friend of mine decided to show me it....i was grossed out but I found some of it on TV late night once and although I was guilty I would not stop watching. it wasn't a really bad habit...I would run into those programs once and a while but never extremely addicted. One night however messed me up for 5 years and I'm still struggling with it. it was about masturbation and i decided to try it, and that was the first engagement I had and it destroyed me. I would think about girls at school and especially the one I liked. I was so messed up inside and soon this evil desire trapped me. I was constantly doing it and it controlled me. when I entered grade 9 God started to get a hold of me and really started to get my attention. I entered a new school after junior high and it was a Christian one. The first year I went, my old buddies decided to start a prayer group. we would meet nightly in a loft and pray every week. one day as we prayed i felt Gods conviction on me so strongly that I felt that I could not even enter Gods presence. i felt as if I was isolated and not permitted to enter his holy sanctuary. Right then and there I asked for prayer from my friends and they prayed for God to deliver me from a demonic spirit that had manifested itself. This was because of my addiction to masturbation and that night I allowed God to control me and I was filled with His spirit. I am so thankful to Jesus Christ for healing me and delivering me from this evil that had power. i am no perfect man though and I still struggle with these evil thoughts but after 5 years God has really worked on my heart and I know that he walks with me and cares for me. Thank you my Father in heaven:)
