Addiction

To talk about addiction you have to have been there. Addicted to something. I'm going to talk about my addiction. This addiction is the most difficult in todays society. It's almost normalized. The addiction of pornography. Most people don't think that watching porn more than 1 time per week is an addiction. Technically those people are right. However to keep it at one time per week will take a mass amount of strength and diligence. And while it's "not" an addiction it is still wrong as it says Matthew 5:28, "If a man even looks at a woman with lust he has already committed adultery." I'm sure the same goes for a woman looking at a man with lust. Here's where i fall in. Hi, My name is Lorna and I'm a pornography addict. I have lied, cheated and stolen to get what i want. I don't want that life anymore. I have been clean just 1 week. This week I found out what a pornography addiction can do to a family of believers. Not through my own addiction but through someone fairly close. She lost her job and her left her husband for a bit. Her job affected many people. It woke me up. I was unprepared for this loss of a job in her life and I decided I need to write about my addiction so that i am held accountable by you the viewers of my blog. I have since locked the internet on my ipod and do not know the pass code. The internet on my computer is closely watched by a very good friend of mine. Now in your daily prayers please say one for me. I don't want it to get so bad that i end up like my friend. She was so addicted, it took over. Keep her in your prayers as well.
