It’s easy to sit back and relax and give up control over your thoughts when you feel like you’re snowed under with life’s stressors. That environment is like a greenhouse for growing an addiction.

Relinquishing control of your mind is the single worst thing you can do to yourself–it is the penultimate in self destruction, but millions of people willingly do it daily.

Regaining it–and the responsibility that accompanies it–is a huge barrier to a vulnerable, healing mind. But it is exactly the most important thing that must be done! Until that is accomplished, the addict will relapse and struggle.

I am in the fight of my life over my 27 year addiction. I no longer think it’s fun or funny or rewarding. I can clearly see the destruction left in its wake and I hate what I’ve done to myself. This personality flaw has caused me to have bad relationships all the way around.

I am now truly walking with God and He’s empowering me to fight the good fight. And that means I can’t sit back and let the enemy attack me like he did every time I got online and sought out the porn.

I strongly agree with the statement that it is effortless to be attracted to the most stimulating and exciting things that catches our attention. This is a manifestation of indolence of the spirit which is perhaps the greatest affliction of mankind today. The creative part of us, i.e. the spirit, is asleep in a lethargic stupor.

It certainly requires effort to create things of lasting value (spiritual works) and thereby become the “actors” in the stage of life rather than to passively sit back and be entertained. This effort, however is what our spirit needs to develop and grow strong.

I wish you the strenght and resources needed to keep up the good work you’re doing on this site.

Best regards.
