I have a lot of shame about this but I have been addicted to pornography since I was about 12 years old. I believe I can and will overcome this with God's help, but I find that when I get upset about what has been done to me sexually I feel worthless and fall into this sin over and over again. It's really had to explain why...I guess I feel worthless because of what's been done to me and so I just watch pornography to hurt myself.

 

I know that this is not God's best for me by a long shot. I know that this is so wrong and I hate what I do. I don't know how to overcome this. 

 

Is there anyone here who might understand me, and be willing to keep in touch? I need to talk to some God centered people!

 

Thank you for reading this....x

I think we all battle our own personal addictions to one degree or another.  They may not all be the same, or come from the same experiences, but none of us are perfect.  For me personally, I have found that when I am weak, reading my bible is the best response.  He is our strength.  If you ever need someone to talk with I am here for you.  You can message me through the forum here or stop by the chatroom, I am in there quite a bit.  Praying for you, God bless.

A lot of people have trouble with porn, a lot of it is just not controlling hormones when we are younger and once we get accustom to porn it does things to our brain wiring and is very difficult to stop.....   It is almost as bad as doing crack.

 

I would not mind discussing it with you.

you might also get the password for the girls or guys forum so it could be talked about only with your gender.

I know that what was done to me is the past and it cannot be erased. I wish I had handled it a hundred different ways but I didn't at the time. I can see the effects of it in my life and have struggled to correct myself and get back to the life I wanted. Is the past so powerful?

Luke1:37

Do I deny God this awesome power to actually change the past? What will happen if I allow myself to believe that He can and not control it's content?

You are not alone, I also struggle with this monster of porn addiction there are time by God great grace He deliver me from it and I have often wonder if Revelation 3:17-18 is written concerning this.

Praying for you.
