Struggling

I've been addicted to porn since I was 11 years old.

It all started when my family got the new computer. My school was really close to my house and I always got home befor my parents did. At first, I never went to any bad sites. I would just check out some sites for kids. But then one day I decided to check out the website for Playboy. I was browsig through som pictures when a pop-up for a porn sit popped up. I was curious and went to the website. It all went downhill from there.

My parents found out about my addiction two years ago when they found links to some of the sites I'd been to. They were disappointed in me of course (as they had every right to be), but they didn't think much about it. But then it kept getting worse up to the point where my mom was telling me she wanted me out of her house.

What really made me want to get over my addiction was when I renewed my faith in Christ last year. I had been saved a few years back, but the Satan had led me astray from the path of rightiousness. When my best friend Aaron invited me over to his (and currently my) church, I was a little skeptical about it at first. But after spending some time there, my heart was opened up and my faith was renewed. I have made a lot of great freinds at my church. I am afraid to tell them about my problems out of fear that they will look at me different.

Recently, I sat down with my youth pastor and told him about my problems. He revealed to me that he had some of the same problems when he was a young adult and now he is my accountability partner. It will be hard to give up my addiction to pornography, but with God on my side, anything is possible.

Pray for me. I need every bit of help I can get.

I am rite there with you man. I still struggle with porn every day. I play an online game and it is hard not to go to a bad website. I told my youth pastor and then I told my dad. I didnt even know but both of them had the same problem that I did! I will be praying for you.

If you play a game called runescape we can talk. my name on that game is *******
