Beware: Porn kills you.
Porn thrills you. Then, it kills you. When it gets full-blown, it leads you to the grave.
“I don’t want to do it anymore. I want to stop it. But I can’t choose and control it. I wanna die,” shared Rey, a married medical doctor of his many-years secret activity during a Viber session.
As marriage and life unraveled for him, he despaired. He found himself helplessly trapped in cycles of guilt, shame, degradation, and danger.
Rey’s courage to go into therapy started his healing process. You are only as strong as you are honest. His confession paved the way for better hope.
Did Rey relapse in his process? Yes but he didn’t give up. Rey learned to get back to the game. Over and over … until he improved and stabilized.
Porn addiction is a pathological relationship with a mood-altering experience.
Research shows that addicts learned to depend on pornography for “comfort.” From pain. For nurturing. For relief from stress. The way an alcoholic depends on alcohol or a drug addict on drugs.
One major problem of a person addicted to porn is impaired thinking. Denial. Distortion of reality. Self delusion. Blame of others. Rationalization.
Yet despite all the denial and distortion, reality does creep in. You simply cannot rationalize reality completely away.
No amount of rationalization can save one from all the consequences and complications of the addiction to one’s life.
Alienation from family, spouse, and children. Depression, anxiety, panic attacks. Dishonesty and infidelity. Financial bankruptcy. Low productivity at work. Suicidal thoughts and attempts.
The split between delusion and realty in porn addiction eats away at a person’s sense of self. It makes your life become unmanageable.
Beware: porn kills you – physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Albeit slowly. Yet surely.
Get out of it... set it aside … while there is still time.
And with that, there is hope. Not despair.
