hello...
well im 21 years old, i've been christian since 12 of august of 2007, but been struggling with porn for almost 7 years...
The time i became christian i thought that addiction would disappear. At the begining i thought i was out of it forver. I stayed out of porn for 1 year almost. But suddenly started to look more and more again. Last year my saintity was a disaster. Now its not that bad but still struggling with it. Its not that i watch it all the time, but sometimes i feel like i have to, so i watch it and masturbate for a while, and stop it there cuzz i know that is bad. Its like i loose the control of my mind and my body
I know that i have to ask God to forgive me and trust him. I already did that too, but sometimes is very hard.
I need some advices please...

HEY...

We are glad to have you here. I hope that this is a place of encouragement and strength as you take steps daily to become the man that God has created you to be.
You are already on the same page as so many of us are and were when we began the journey out of porn: this sin is a bondage. the addiction is a chain that keeps us attached to the sin. So... no doubt... there is some breaking that takes place.
It is my prayer for you that you will find a purity of heart and a good conscience as we walk together. (1 Timothy 1:5)
I am going to send you a PM (private message) to cover a couple more things that will make your time here a good thing.
Remember, it is in Christ that we can do all things. He is why we do what we do here at Pink Cross. So glad you are here.
Make sure you take some of guys testimonies here. I'm sure you'll see that you are not alone.

hello ryan welcome to the

hello ryan welcome to the forums. I understand how your feeling right now and I will be honest with you coming away from porn will feel like a battle, but with Gods stenght you can do it.
I would encourage you to read around this website and check out the resources on the website. You said you are a christian do you have a church? you could try and find out about support groups for men I would encourage you to try and get to one if you can, it would really help you to break away from porn and I would recommend that you get a filter for your computer to filter out porn websites.
Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me

Go for it you can walk in freedom hope that helps

thank you underoath i have

thank you underoath
i have came to realize a lot of things this last days
one of the things is that when i try to battle with God strenght, the truth is that im battling with my own strenght, so i let him to battle instead of me, because his the King of all victories. That gives me hope cuzz im trusting no more in myself in that part, just Him.
But still there are some things that keep me bothering...
Unfurnatelly the only times that we have that type of groups in my church i am in college receiving classes...
what type of filters could you suggest me?
I use mozilla fire fox
