awww. im praying for you ry *hugs*

I'm praying for everyone in this thread who has the problem.
Love you guys.

2 weeks free. lol

woo!

i have overcome it ry.....

just be strong kid

Will pray.

i'll be praying for you and all the guys.
it takes alot of courage to confess and say that you have a problem to others.

the way i was able to overcome was, i talked to the girl i love (soon to be gf and more, lord willingly) and i told her i had that problem and it was the most difficult thing everrrrr. and now everytime i go thru temptation, just thinking about how difficult it was to talk to her and i asked myself "is it worth putting tears on her face again?" and the answer is obviously no.

Read the book of james. it talks about those who overcome temptation on earth will havea great treasure in heaven. its like God knows guys will suffer with this stuff.. so Hes like "ok... dont watch.. dont touch urself.. and... i'll have this mystery box of awesome treasure for you here"

Also, an accountability group helped me alot. i was in one and every week we had to tell our youth paster if we did anything "naughty" and it kinda forces u to be clean every week.

soo anyone up for having an accountability group on here?

I don't know what it takes to be "a porn addict"
I guess a "porn addict" would be someone who keeps going back

My friend described it as... he was lying in bed in the middle of the night, he knew what he was doing was wrong, and he couldn't stop himself from rolling out of bed and going on the computer get some more of it. He'd been on it since he was 12 - he's 16 now. He also said he didn't realise he had an addiction till he was over it. *hugs* You'll be in my prayers, bro.

great ryry!

i've heard similar stories to what you've shared, and it's tough to admit it, especially to people that you really care about. it hurts more than just the person directly involved usually.

accountability is an awesome thing. only had limited experience with it myself, but when i was being held accountable for things, it was kind of relieving, because i knew that even if i screwed up, i had someone who was willing to help me see it through.

I'm praying for you!!

keep praying, because dang.

I'm still praying Ryan.
I know it's freaking hard, but I know you'll beat it.

thanks sarah
