Men - Confessions

I wanted to share my struggles in hopes that someone else may benefit from my experience.

I am a married man with 2 children. My wife is aware that I've struggled with porn in the past and has always been very gracious and forgiving. In the past 2 years, I've maybe gone to porn sites a dozen times. In the past year, I also had a half dozen webcam sessions with guys (I'm not gay but that is a long story.) I don't need to describe the details here.

I now have accountability software which prevents me from going to porn sites and the webcam has been destroyed.

I was never a frequent porn addict or user. It was VERY casual (as in a few times each year.) What I want to say here is that casual or not, you must learn to approach this with the right mindset: sin must be put to death in you. The other half of that mindset: "Victory" over porn is NOT just about stopping it and focusing so much on "just saying no", it's also about seeking the Lord continuously, daily and making HIM your focus, regardless of how often you fail.

God got a hold of me, deep down in my spirit. I confessed all this to a good Christian mentor (an older man who I trust) and he has been instrumental in helping me to repent and walk away from this. Not pretend it did not happen, but move on. Towards Christ.


Thank God for this site!
