Struggling with lust and pornography, this is for you I was addicted to porn since I was 11 years old that addiction carried over into my marriage During my marriage, is when I ended up breaking the addiction or so I thought. One Sunday after preaching my wife said be careful, since you just finished doing the Lords will the devil may try to trap. I didn’t pay it much mind, but soon she would be right. Later that night while everyone was asleep, I was on instagram doom scrolling and seen a girl who ended up being a pornstar. I went to her page and that led to me looking her up. The entire time my heartbeat was beating and my adrenaline was racing. I knew what I was doing was sinful, but that didn’t stop me. I spent the next 2 hours watching her and other women. I felt terrible I sinned against God and my wife, but what God had in stored for me was not what I was excepting. The next day I clocked in for work and seen I had a meeting on my calendar with my manager. It was the beginning of the quarter, so I figured it was just a quarterly meeting. However this included a woman from HR. Still I paid it no mind. I hopped on the meeting and came to find I was being laid off as part of a huge sales force reduction. This hit me hard because my wife was stay at home mom and I was our only source of income. But I knew the underlying reason for this. It was the consequences of my actions the night prior. Those actions not only affected me but my family as well. From that point forward I knew one thing. That I could never go back to pornography because next time it may cost me my marriage and family. So I made a decision to cut off anything that could cause me to slip into that sin again. I cut off certain friends who talked about it, I unfollowed people on social media who talk about it, I even deleted social media apps. I cut off anything and everyone I knew was a trigger. I shared this story to say this: Don’t risk your relationship with God and others just to watch sick people do sick things. Pornography is dangerous and to a Christian it can be deadly.
