Tangible Steps to Freedom

Hey L,

Every day we get emails from men AND women whose lives have been damaged by porn and desperately want freedom.

Let's be honest, it's not easy in this sex saturated culture to pull yourself out of the sinking sands of porn addiction.

This week our friend Jamie Perez shares four tangible steps to freedom from porn!

Enjoy!

"Motivation is what gets you to start, and habit is what keeps you going."
– Jim Ryun

These words summarize the path I've taken to healing from my addictions: alcohol, promiscuity, and living a generally hedonistic lifestyle.

I remember what first led me to my addictions–pain, boredom, sometimes just an empty feeling that brings you to a place of wanting to seek out any type of stimulation. Wanting a distraction from whatever you're feeling.

The reality is after you've attained that high, the drop to reality often leaves you feeling worse than before.

Learning to draw strength from God is what eventually led me to overcome my addictions. In my strength, I couldn't find lasting freedom from any of the troubles that tormented me.

Co-dependent relationships always crashed and burned. Counseling and Psychiatric medication did little to provide real healing.

I remembered reading what the Bible says about healing, peace, forgiveness, and I decided to take that first step of faith by believing God would do what His word says He will do.

These are some of the steps I took to become free from the power of sin...

Talk soon,
