That voice inside just can’t stop disturbing you, it keeps bringing and flashing those images over and over again and also stressing what you will miss if you stop watching porn. It tries to impress and make you believe its lies.
Let me ask you a question, what is pleasurable about the things you do in hiding and can tell no one? Absolutely nothing.
Now is the time to stop rejecting the lies of porn and start living the life that makes you proud.
Below are 4 common lies porn will keep telling you
- IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BREAK FREE
This is a big lie porn will keep registering in your head. It will probably lead you to stories of many people on different platform that are still being held down by the addiction after many years.
One thing you must note is there are many people who constantly watched porn for years and today have nothing to do with it again.
We cannot deny the fact that, the process of recovery from any addiction is always hard work but you need to look deep into yourself and speak the real truth, (you cannot continue to live your life that way, hiding and watching some inappropriate content).
A good step in the right direction as regards porn addiction is to embrace what I call breaking free little by little or what James clear calls a 1% Change.
Make this part of your recovery process, which can be summarized as “progress is progress even though it is slow, so slow progress is better than remaining at the same spot”.
The major reason many keep falling back into porn after you have made total determination never to go back is that you want everything to stop all at once. This might be possible but it is actually rear, because what porn does is to reshape you values, mindset and believes towards the opposite sex. So your previous view of a lady or a guy now changes, you suddenly begin to see ladies as sex tools and guys as sex satisfiers.
The mindset is already formed, so if you want recovery you will have to reshape your mind to new values and it definitely doesn’t happen overnight.
Join me in series two as I share with you a number of people who were once addicted and are now free.
2. LIFE IS ALL ABOUT SEX
Another big lie from porn. One thing you will notice is that when you get addicted to porn, all you want is just sex, from either a boy or a girl.
It infuses into your system that if you just have sex all the time life is good and that’s a lie.
Trust me, porn is full of lies and there is no truth in it, they make it look like it is pleasurable because it is a billion dollar industry and they want their products (porn movies) to sell, thereby make every action and scene pitch perfect.
You have a destiny to fulfill but if you get lost into the lies of porn, then your destiny is in great danger.
3. WATCHING PORN IS BETTER THAN HAVING SEX
Some people fall into this category, they are not really moved to practice what they watch in porn websites but they are heavily addicted to porn. So in a bid for that addiction to keep you bound it tells you things like “at least it is better than having so many sex partners”.
What you must conclude in your mind, is that you cannot be addicted to porn and live a progressive life, because porn changes the way you see and process everything.
4. WATCHING PORN DOESN’T HURT ANYBODY
Chris hunt talked about how porn almost ruined his life. He was addicted to porn for about 20 years since he was 15 years old. He said that it affected his relationship with God and also affected his first marriage which led to a divorce.
So don’t be deceived that it is my life and it doesn’t affect anyone, because it actually does.
