BREAKING THE CHAINS * PORN ADDICTION
my journey out!
It quickly turned into the vicious cycle of 'Never Enough'. I threw my purity into a filthy pit of lust. I longed for a bath and 'bleach' to rid me of the stench. I desperately wanted the pearls of my innocence back, but self-control, willpower, and self-help book didn't help.
Porn became an insatiable monster within.
During sex with your spouse, the body's natural systems work as intended. Together, you experience heightened pleasure and alertness (norepinephrine, endorphins), followed by a sense of calm (serotonin).
Additionally, each sexual encounter strengthens emotional bonds with your partner (oxytocin, vasopressin).
In consuming pornography the brain experiences a similar activation of pleasurable chemicals as during real sex, but with detrimental effects. Unlike real sex, porn disrupts the brain's natural processes, leading to disturbing side effects.
I needed help!
This realization was the first step to my freedom ... My "out" was 'WHO' not in what.
I tried every method: self-help books, meditation, and willpower, but stayed a slave to the cruel master of lust. I felt hopeless, exhausted, and defeated. Lost and broken. That was when I called out towards heaven.
"HELP ME, PLEASE COME FIND ME."
My freedom was found in "WHO" not in what. His Name is Jesus.
He heard my cry and immediately reached down with empathy. Finally, the freedom I yearned for.
"How beautiful ... are the feet of Him who brings Good News!"
Rom 10:15 NKJV
Jesus pulled me out of the filth. He washed me, and the stench is gone.
He wants to do the same for you!
On so many levels, a soul gets destroyed in addiction. It's a habit with devastation on both sides of the screen.
Jesus knows our hurts and desperation; He wants to help, and this changed me. Jesus is still healing the pain that drove me toward porn and the hurt that came through it.
If, like me, you have exhausted every method, why not give Jesus a chance? He is the way out, and, what is more, He loves you. Yes, He loves you in your current state. Ask Him for help, just like I did.
Do you feel a 'tug' at your heart, I believe it's the Holy Spirit inviting you to ask Jesus for help.
My friend, Hell is a real place!
Jesus alone can save us from the fires of Hell. He died on a cross for our sins. He wants to help you; just ask Him, and He will. If this is you, then pray this prayer with me.
'Jesus, I am in a mess and I can’t get myself out of this pit. I need a Savior. I’m sorry for what I have done. I am lost, please come get me. I give you my heart and make you Lord of my life. Thank you for saving me. Amen.'
