Fight The New Drug

I came across this new site today. I have heard about it in the past..but today I have spent hours looking and watching all their videos. It is amazing! 

Fight The New Drug- PORNOGRAPHY 

The University of Pennsylvania Mental Heath Department says: “Porn is one of the most concerning things to the psychological health of the human being existing today.  Pornography addicts have a more difficult time recovering from their addiction than cocaine addicts since coke users can get the drug out of their system but pornographic images stay in your brain forever."

It is such an amazing site! I LOVE everything they are doing to fight against pornography.  

Do you know how addictive pornography is today? 

Do you know how strong a pornography addiction is?

I didn’t realize it was just like being addictive to cocaine until I was in a 12 step addiction recovery group and was literally going through WITHDRAWALS! 

That’s right! I couldn’t sleep. I was very irritable. I got depressed. I had vivid dream “User dreams”. I felt so trapped. SO anxious. Pornogrpahy is a real addition. 

I am so grateful for the support that I had in the 12 step LDS addition recovery group. The girls in there new what I was going through, because they had been through it before. There were nights where I would sob, literally at my wits end. I felt so tempted and so horrible with where I was. I felt like my decision to stop was a bad choice, even though I knew it was right.

I am so grateful I had such an amazing support system I had. Without the LDS addiction recovery program I wouldn’t have understood the severity of my addiction. I would have felt the withdrawal symptoms, and not knowing what they really where OR what to do with them. I would have relapsed. I know it because it happen so many times in the past.

If you struggle with pornography and/or masturbating know that you are not alone. It is a real addiction. It is hard, but it is possible to stop. I promise you. I have been there. 

I am so thankful to the Lord for helping me out of my pit of darkness. It didn’t happen over night. He strengthens me everyday. There is hope.
