Regardless of WHEN they happen, they can become valuable learning experiences that strengthen us in our ability to overcome.

Collecting recovery tokens for clean time has been a common practice in a number of recovery circles. Are tokens a necessary part of getting free? How would it work in the scope of a PORN ADDICTION? If I relapse, am I really back at square one? Is consecutive clean time really the determining factor that measures my recovery progress?

Attitude vs. Indifference

True Victory ·

2022/01/02

Awareness and desire must be partnered with ATTITUDE in order to achieve long term freedom. In a porn habit we often become indifferent and apathetic about our lives in general because we feel defeated. Maintaining attitude simply involves our willingness to take the next step forward, whatever step that may be. Perhaps it is opening up to a trusted friend or attending a self-help meeting. Maybe it is setting specific, measurable goals for yourself or changing your daily routine. As you take the

Healing Yourself vs. Healing Your Relationship

True Victory ·

2021/03/30

After being secretive with my porn habit for over 5 years, I needed to seek healing for myself as well as healing in my marriage. These healings are not synonymous but they can compliment one another. Recognizing these healings as separate fronts helped me to see the level of commitment each of them required.

Stuck in Self-Pity?

True Victory ·

2021/03/07

Self-pity does not produce holiness. It keeps us stuck in shame and depression. Romans 8:28 states “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” God continues to work on us in the midst of our victories AND our defeats. There is nothing God can’t use for His glory.

My Top 3 Failed Methods for Getting Free

True Victory ·

2021/02/26

1) Sporadic openness about our porn habit keeps us from moving forward in recovery - consistent accountability is crucial to success. 2) Being busy with activities distracts us from guilt but also keeps us from being sober minded and self-aware - we must forgive ourselves and learn from our mistakes. 3) Restricting our search settings and filters can help, but the victory we need over our porn habit lies within ourselves - we need to develop plans to avoid relapse altogether.

The Crossroads

True Victory ·

2021/02/22

There was a time I thought my porn addiction was just a part of “who I am.” That belief brought me to two options: 1) Keep watching porn whenever I want and keep it a secret, or 2) watch porn sporadically and stay honest. Both of those options made me a hypocrite so I sought a third one: Hope for a MIRACLE.

The Excuses We Make: Part 3. Rationalizations

True Victory ·

2021/01/24

Rationalizations tell us that there is nothing wrong with our porn habit and that our behavior is normal. These excuses are usually rooted in what our culture says about being a man. Do we really accept that men are terminally enslaved to there sexual appetites? Do we truly believe some women were MEANT to be exploited in the sex industry?

The Excuses We Make: Part 2. Justifications

True Victory ·

2021/01/18

When we JUSTIFY our porn habit we know our behavior is wrong, but convince ourselves it is excusable under specific circumstances. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, the apostle Paul explains that God provides an escape from temptation. If we are vigilant in seeing that escape, it then becomes a matter of OBEDIENCE.

The Excuses We Make: Part 1. Minimizations

True Victory ·

2021/01/14

Excuses for sinful behaviors keep us in a cycle of denial. For every excuse we make, there is a truth we neglect to embrace.
