We recently received this email and wanted to share it with about the dangers of pornography. This individual has had their life, virtually, destroyed but he is coming back and has asked us to make sure we raise the voice of warning about pornography addiction after receiving our weekly boost, “What Legacy Are You Leaving Behind?”
” I have been a subscriber to your email weekly boost for sometime. …
Unfortunately, my sexual addiction to internet pornography escalated dramatically. My dark journey down this road eventually led me to illegal pornography. My home was raided by federal agents last Aug. and my computers were seized. I recently returned from 6 wks of inpatient treatment at …. This was followed by 6 more weeks at the Professional Enhancement Program also associated with …. It was the toughest thing I have had to do in my 59 years.
Thank God I went there. I now have a clear understanding of how my addiction arose. More importantly, I have learned the tools to keep it at bay and am now almost 3 mos. sober from sexual acting out and alcohol.
The consequences of my acting out are on the horizon and will most likely include incarceration for possession of child pornography. I had never seen or thought about child pornography until I came across it on a web site last March. My days as a practicing physician are over for now. My family is supportive but fearful. I get by through daily 12 Step Meetings and turning things over to God. Sexual Addiction is truly cunning, baffling and powerful. I am sending this to you so that perhaps someone else may recognize how easily lives can be turned upside down by this so called “victimless” activity on line. Please keep me and my family in your prayers.”
We wish this individual the best and are very sad that he was not able to manage his addiction before these unfortunate events.
Pornography has destroyed many lives but even if you have gone down a path you wished you would not have taken. There is help, get it!
Live and leave a legacy you would be proud of if someone was to shout it from the mountain tops and Trust in Your Capacity to Change.
