We have some great responses on Facebook about how people have been walking out their recovery and thought we’d share some with you – here’s a cross section of some of the feedback we’ve gotten about what they would tell other people who are struggling with pornography-

  • It can be done u do have the strength to overcome with the help of accountability and your brothers in Christ.
  • Confession to another person will help remove shame and guilt. Don’t let the enemy use it as a weapon. Start the healing TODAY!!
  • It’s so much better once you put it down and walk away.
  • It is a struggle but with God as your strength, and his people fight with you, we shall all overcome!
  • There is real and lasting freedom to be had if they really want it.
  • If quitting for yourself isn’t motivation enough, think about the other people in your life (spouse, children) who are being hurt by the things you do in secret. It will negatively affect your relationships with your family, whether you can see it or not.
  • It’s so much more than behavior modification. It’s not just a matter of lust, but rather a matter of the heart. If our love for Christ doesn’t outweigh our addiction to porn.. then we lose. We lose even if we win..really. Don’t listen to the lies when you mess up..”You did it again”, “You loser”, “God is so Disappointed in you”..stuff like that. .. On our best day we deserve hell.. no matter how bad we are, God loves us the same today, yesterday and forever. Our love for the father must be strong and real, or the porn is there to stay.
  • Jesus is more powerful than anything and the guilt that keeps you bound up in it is not from God! Give it to Him! Have someone pray with you! You are not alone! God’s love conquers all!!
  • First, be honest with yourself. It is a problem because you like it. But, there is grace for you. Next find someone of the same sex you can tell. Stop believing the lie that you are alone. Run from the temptation!
  • God Loves You!
  • While I know your shame is very powerful, GODs power is stronger, step #1 admit you have a problem I did & take it from there!!!!
  • …first and foremost prayer, accountability (allow someone to ask you about your struggle), keep fighting and overcoming DAILY!
  • you are not alone & GOD isn’t angry with you He loves & accepts you !!!! the 1st step to recovery is the hardest one admit you have a problem & that your powerless to stop or control your tendencies!
  • That there is real and lasting freedom to be had, but you have to want it more than you want life itself.
