Hi friends, I am struggling with my sin of Pornography. It krept back up on me after a few years of doing "fine" i need to find the root of this issue. The problem is, im worn down. I want to be obedient, yet i keep falling to my flesh. Whats also difficult is im same sex attracted. While I wont go back to that life, that has still manifested in the form of watching pornography (mostly gay but in the end its all sin so it doesnt matter what type) but im asking for prayer. That God guide me to the root of this symptom, im so broken and I know i can only turn to God. I am just so weak and would love my brothers and sisters in Christ to be in prayer along side me. I can be very harsh on myself when i mess up. I was the kid to throw myself in time out from time to time. It feels like im doing the same thing today, God is telling me dont keep doing it but all is good and im saying no i have to sit in the corner.
Thank you all for reading this. I just needed to get this off my chest and have some people in prayer over it all. Love you all and may the Lord bless you and keep you.
I will be praying for you. The addiction is real & it is a struggle.
One day at a time & I found in my own life it was a control thing. When I found other ways to control my life better, the urges went away.
I have a buddy that swears by hypnotherapy is the only thing that helped them & was introduced to it via a book called 'Your Problem Isn't Pornography' by Nelson Whiting, and suggests that it is a symptom of a root issue, just like you mentioned.
