Addiction Help

Porn is A Growing Problem Even Among Teens

If you struggle with porn, you need to know you are not alone. There are places to get addiction help. Porn is a fast growing addiction. And it's becoming more readily available by the year.

Porn is something that many people are getting addicted to but aren't talking about. It is impacting families, marriages and controlling many people's lives. All they can think about is the next time they will be able to access their computer or the next thrill they will get.

Some innocently get hooked by someone else showing it to them or through an ad while surfing the internet. Others are bored and get drawn into chat rooms or web cams that eventually lead them down the path to getting addicted to porn.

Although boys are the ones typically drawn to porn due their visual nature, girls are also getting hooked. Even girls in good homes that are raised in the church.

Accountibility - The Key to Breaking Free

I have found that accountability has been one of the main contributing factors to help me break free from addictions in the past. I have met with friends on a weekly basis for prayer and accountability and have also done it on a monthly basis. You know yourself and what would work best for you. The important thing is to find someone you can trust so you can be honest.

Sometimes Girls Become the Victim of Porn

Porn addiction can impact you in many ways. Sometimes you are the one addicted to it and other times you may be a victim of someone else's porn addiction. Maybe you've been abused because of someone's increasing sexual desires from a porn addiction. Or maybe you've satisfied someone's craving for porn in other ways.

If you have been struggling with porn, or if you have become a victim of it, we would love to pray with you.
