Frequently Asked Questions.
Hello I’m Kris, (a girl) ,15, and my problem is that I watch porn sometimes….I don’t masturbate though, I just watch but I’m worried I might have a problem later on in life…I always ask God for forgiveness after I do it , I don’t want to but I just can’t stop myself, sometimes I imagine people having sex and these thoughts lead me to watch such stuff, sometimes just seeing a word like ‘naughty’ will lead to me watching porn. Even though I don’t masturbate, I know it’s wrong. How can I stop?
We understand that this is a tough battle that you are going through right now and you need to get it under control with being such a young age. Admitting to the fact that you have and addiction to this is one of the first steps.
Confess this to God and tell Him that you want to change and that you want for Him to send people in your life who will help you win this fight. He will hear your pray and He is a powerful God but, He will not just come down here and stop it for you. He will provide you the tools and the resources but, He wants you to step and do this thing.
After you have talked to God about this find someone right away that you know who can be your accountability partner. Someone who you see often and will have the ability to hold you accountable at all costs. Being your age I would suggest it be someone who is your elder and will be able to provide good mature counsel on this issue. This can be someone from your church, family member, and maybe even your parents. I know this step is tough but, you have to do this if you want to get free from this. You will not be able to do this on your own.
After you have an accountability partner you need to sit down with them and build a plan figure out what your triggers are and how they affect you. Get accountability software. If the internet or mobile devices are you hang up and this is where you turn to get your porn, get accountability and filter software right away and get this covered. We have a great program called X3 Watch that you could use for this. Set up a meeting schedule to meet with your accountability partner to discuss how things are going and if you are following your sobriety plan that you have developed with them.
Do not think this will go away over night; you have trained your brain to need this crap and you will need to train your brain that it is not needed and that it will hurt you. Celebrate small victories and do not give up if there are stumbles, keep going and dig in for the fight. Please know that you are not alone in this and that God loves you so much. He will never remove His love for you because of what you did, are doing, or might do during your recovery. We are here praying for you and know that you can do this.
I have an X3 watch account on my computer So I decided to get one one on my phone, its an android. So i subscribed for it monthly on google play and paying the monthly cost. However when i downloaded the app for my phone it wont let me sign in because i have ‘not subscribed’ yet but then i go onto to google saying i have already subscribed. Please help. Thanks
Thanks for this question, you need to contact the tech support team at support.x3watch.com or you can use their live chat option on Momdays – Friday 10am – 7pm EST.
I have had problems with porn for about two years and have been trying to quit for a year and a half. Ive been saved for eight months and I believe God is putting it on my heart to confess to my parents. Confessing to a friend didn’t help that much but it did some, I feel if I confessed to my parents I would be free. But my parents aren’t strong Christians and have never really repented. My question is should I confess it to them? And if I do how? Thanks
We tend to make this a bigger deal than what it is. More so with thinking there is some typ of formality to it. The thing is you just need to sit down with them and be honest, be honest with what is going on. Tell them how bad this has become, if it scares you how far you have gone tell this as well. Ask them for your help and accountability.
The thing is you just need to do it. Know that we are praying for you.
