It’s probably an Obsessive Compulsive Cycle that has made overcoming pornography and your sexual addiction so difficult. The advice to “just quit thinking about it,” “avoid it,” or “get it out of your mind” has actually deepened your addiction! This is the worst advice there is! Once you understand obsessions, compulsions, fear, and how the mind works, you will know why you have failed in the past and why what appears to be “common sense advice” is so destructive. Understanding obsessions and compulsions is one of the most powerful keys in helping you overcome your sexual addiction. It is the obsessive-compulsive dynamic that has kept you trapped.

While organizations nationwide have invested enormous resources to protect individuals, families, employers, and communities, from the destructive effects of pornography, what about those who already find themselves trapped in the dark world of sexual addiction?

Through real life interviews and family friendly, dramatic illustrations, “Pornography, Confronting the Addiction” examines how a person, struggling with pornography can take the first steps to recovery and renew their confidence in life. Hear the stories of real men and women who struggled with their own or someone else’s addiction. Listen to them describe how they found the strength to overcome, while experts, trained in the treatment of sexual addiction, explain the addiction and the processes that occur in the brain.

You are not alone and there is hope. If I did it you also can.

Now you know why we refer to pornography use as substance abuse. In fact, the
neurochemical release triggered by pornography viewing is so intense, many scientists
refer to it as the most powerful drug in history.
Many would agree that we live in the most stressful time in the history of the world — there are more than enough pressures to push us to seek escape through self-medication.
This can take many forms—alcoholics, workaholics, foodaholics, and TV addicts, just to name a few. There are also many healthy outlets such as exercise, meditation, service, spiritual pursuits, hobbies and entertainment. Yet, even healthy outlets can become problematic when taken to the extreme.

Imagine taking the most powerful drug in history and making it instantly available at then push of a button, at little or no cost. Your drug use is totally secret, and the drug-pushers come to you! What do you suppose would happen to addiction rates? That’s exactly what the Internet has done with pornography. It’s what we call the “4 A’s of the Internet”— Accessible, Affordable, Anonymous and Aggressive. Now can you understand why some, for example 60 million people in the U.S. alone are caught up in this “drug use” at some level? Imagine the numbers in Africa? Asia? Europe? Can you understand how you got pulled in?

People like you and I have done it

The bible in James 5:16 says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.”

My prayer for you is that no matter how many time you messed up or will mess up, you shall never give up. God has given you the strength to do it.
