Sexual Addiction/Pornography
PORNOGRAPHY'S GRIP IS NOT EASILY LOOSENED
The ever-increasing availability of internet pornography is creating widespread problems for people of all ages. Pornography addiction is fastly becoming the #1 addiction and is disastrous for those involved and their families.
If you have concerns about your involvement in pornography please give the counselor a call. Few are able to find freedom from the secret snare of pornography addiction alone.
Overcoming Sexual Addiction Involves:
-
Realizing that involvement is detremental to mental health, family life and all intimate relationships, especially marriage.
-
Establishing safeguards. Internet filters are just the start. Accountability is a must. One should confide in a trusted individual about their pornography involvement and discuss concerns. Goals should be set and progress discussed often.
-
Getting to the root cause of addictive behavior by asking, "Why do I turn to pornography?", "What do I get from it?" One must recognize false beliefs that lead to pornography involvement which are not just sexual in nature.
-
Understanding the deeper issues...self-centeredness, lonliness, distorted view of sexuality or the opposite sex which contribute to involvement in pornorgraphy rather that the investment into real not virtual relationships.
