Are you poisoning your mind a little at a time?
There is an old saying that where the attention goes the energy flows. It’s a way of saying that what we do is based in what we think. As a man thinketh, so is he. The same is also true about the mind and pornography. There is a very real body-mind connection as it relates to pornography and pornography addiction. The more we constantly pour pornographic images into our minds, the more poison we add to our lives. At first it is hardly noticeable; but in time, we will witness the mind deadening and life draining outcomes in our lives. Pornography is a dead end. The more we drink in the images, the sicker we become. The sicker we become, the more our lives don’t work. The more our lives don’t work, the more destruction and chaos we leave in our wake. At some point, if we don’t stop poisoning our minds, we will self-destruct. Read more
My Story by freeNChrist
Early Beginnings
The sexuality in my family is a little vague but I do know that there is some dysfunction at least two generations deep. My Grandmother on my fathers side had slept with various men while married and otherwise. She left my biological grandfather for my adopted grandfather and she eventually left him for other men. I know that my Father was sexually active before meeting my mother. I know that they did not intend to have me as quickly as they did, I was not purposed by my earthly father. My Father supposedly was having multiple affairs on my mother. I suspect my mother ran to the arms of a man before the divorce was final. After the divorce and while he was single, my father had multiple girlfriends and sexual partners. Two years later he was married only to be divorced fifteen years later. I believe and understand that extra marital affairs were involved in this break up. Dad has been bouncing from one woman to another ever since. He has had multiple sex partners and has threatened marriage a couple of times. I believe dad is first a love addict and next a sex addict, while mixing in drinking and drug use. Read more
The one best thing to cure a porn problem
When I first begin to see the damage that was happening in my life due to my involvement with porn, I knew that I had to quit right away. I was convinced that porn was a bad thing in my life and I was ready and willing to stop. The problem was, I couldn’t stay stopped! To those who don’t have a porn problem it is hard to understand why someone can’t just stop what they are doing. It doesn’t make rational sense! I was once like them. I thought that once someone made up their mind to quit that they’d stop just like that. So, I made up my mind to quit “just like that” and it worked for a short period of time and then, to my dismay, I would fall away once more and become more involved with porn than ever before. I did this yo-yo thing for a number of years. It never worked. Each time I failed I became more miserable and frustrated with myself. What I have learned is that becoming free of porn is a tricky process that takes some time. I wish it could happen by resolve alone; but, I have learned that it doesn’t work like that. While there are many things that help one get porn out of their life, there is one thing that absolutely must be in place. Read more
