Addiction Help, Porn is A Growing Problem Even Among Teens

Porn is something that many people are getting addicted to but aren't talking about. It is impacting families, marriages and controlling many people's lives. All they can think about is the next time they will be able to access their computer or the next thrill they will get.

Some innocently get hooked by someone else showing it to them or through an ad while surfing the internet. Others are bored and get drawn into chat rooms or web cams that eventually lead them down the path to getting addicted to porn.

Although boys are the ones typically drawn to porn due their visual nature, girls are also getting hooked. Even girls in good homes that are raised in the church. Listen to this girl's story.

Accountibility - The Key to Breaking Free

I have found that accountability has been one of the main contributing factors to help me break free from addictions in the past. I have met with friends on a weekly basis for prayer and accountability and have also done it on a monthly basis. You know yourself and what would work best for you. The important thing is to find someone you can trust so you can be honest.

Recommended Porn Addiction Resources:

Setting Captives Free - They have a free 30 day bible study for teens (they have them for adults as well). You are assigned an accountability partner, so that's a great plus in getting addiction help! Porn no longer needs to control you.

http://x3watch.com/ - They offer free accountability software called x3Watch that you can put on your computer. **Note** There is a pro version and a free version, the free version is at the bottom of the screen. You then choose 1 to 3 people who will receive an e-mail report of the questionable sites you've looked at in the last 2 or 4 weeks, whichever you choose for your reports to be sent out. They also have a great prayer wall forum where you can post and receive encouragement from others going through the same struggles.

Counseling - Focus on the Family has a resource where you can find recommended Christian counselors

Sometimes Girls Become the Victim of Porn

Porn addiction can impact you in many ways. Sometimes you are the one addicted to it and other times you may be a victim of someone else's porn addiction. Maybe you've been abused because of someone's increasing sexual desires from a porn addiction. Or maybe you've satisfied someone's craving for porn in other ways. Listen to this girl's story of what happened to her.
