I've been doing well with not going back to porn. I've purged everything I've downloaded, broken and thrown away whatever discs I had lying around, and haven't been on the search for anything either.

I never relied on masturbation to help me get to sleep, but it was never really an uncommon thing for me to do before sleeping. Now that I'm trying to kick the habit, my question to everyone is what do you guys, who have struggled with masturbation, do about 'morning wood'? To be completely honest, I don't know what to think, because I woke up, it was there, I wasn't looking at anything, wasn't tempted to look at porn, didn't have any images I was thinking about, but ended up masturbating just because I woke up with some morning wood that wasn't really going away. I don't know what to think, I didn't really feel guilty about it come to think. And, also, I'm not saying I absolutely have to masturbate everytime I was up by any means either.

The Reason Why

It's your body re-adjusting itself from your time of engaging in porn. Your body has been so used to being stimulated by porn that you most likely don't even realize just how much it has physiologically changed you. God will heal you over time. Just keep praying and seeking Him, and let Him heal you.

Our body and our mind, I think we'd be suprised to know how much it has permeated our entire being!

This Is Very True

And ONLY God can heal us from the effects of porn addiction. It's the same as any other addiction. There are times where we're high, because our body is used to releasing endorphins at a specific time, and times where we're low because our bodies are having to re-adjust to not being stimulated sexually by porn. Our minds have to go through the process of getting "cleaned up" so to speak, and that ONLY can come when we submit our minds to Jesus and we ask Him to cleanse our minds from the perverse thoughts that we have allowed to invade our minds.
