porn and whoremongering

I have had a porn addiction since the age of 12 and i am 44 now i joined the army at the age of 19 and the freedom being away from home led me down the path of expressing my porn addiction in real terms….i have done nearly everything sexual since except pedophilia which i am being accussed of by the community i returned to in 2005…i am at my wits end as my whole life has been destroyed by this behaviour and i cant see a way out…i became a christian soon after leaving the army and thought i would be free of this vice. as word circulated in my community that i had this problem i was castigated by a particular pastor in front of every one in the congregation…i was in disbelief and never went back to the church again….more recently i was exposed indirectly by a clurgy member infront of another church congregation in a bible debate…and felt so humiliated i have not gone back to church either….my reputation is in absolute tatters and i have lost all my friends family and church support…i have lost my job…and there is a wispering campain about me being a pedeophile…every sexual encounter i have had in brothels in the city when the habit was so out of control that i went in broad daylight to brothels has been told as to the extent as to my sexual preferences and how much i paid…i want to just run but because of social media like face book the world is such a small place…i spoke to a pastor once about my situation 10 years ago and they said i should stay and face the music, which i did but now i have no quality of life. i feel like esau and effriam and im getting confused with not who i am in christ but what my purpose is now as i cant go anywhere in my city let alone church without being directly confronted. im being pushed underground and dont know what to do…im so isolated and confused and dispondant that i cant pray and i cant read my bible….i miss church but cant risk the humilation again…even the children at church dont look or respond to me the same…life is a mess…

A male member of our staff is going to connect with you but in the meantime I would recommend that you give Pure Life Ministries a call and see if their live in program might be the fresh start AND get-a-way that it sounds like you may need.

iPhone/resources

I have an iPhone that my mother had bought me last Christmas, I’m struggling at looking at porn and images/videos of girls to lust after.. Sometimes I can go awhile without it other times I give in.. Sometimes to easily I think. It’s gotten to the point where I fell like breaking the phone sometimes but I don’t want to do that because my mom has spent quite a bit on it. Are there free resources for the phone that can help me daily with this such as the x3watch? I would love to pay its just kinda difficult at the moment. I have a bible app.. But I mean as far as anything to aware my accountability partner or just gard me from it altogether, like block it? Any suggestions? Thanks.

If the iPhone is causing you to stumble repeatedly like this you may want to consider removing the web browser or just getting rid of this phone.

X3watch is free for computers and macs but there is a small fee for the app and those can only be purchased in the app stores.

Over Time

Is the addiction something I should expect to battle all my life ..daily? Or are there those who no longer have the urges?

I think everyone is different.  Some people have said it was instantaneously removed and others have said they have had to battle every day to walk in freedom.   I will say that with any addiction there are good days and bad days.   Sex addiction is one of the hardest in my opinions because we are bombarded by sexual images and ideas constantly in our culture.   Only the Lord can give us the grace and mercy to live a life of moral purity and freedom.
