I have struggled with pornography for roughly 25 years. I started with looking at the undergarments sections in news paper department store ads. Seems so innocent but I can now clearly see it as the initial seed that began to put down roots. I then quickly turned to drawing my own graphic pictures and it progressed from there. Without being crude I can honestly say that I started fapping before I was capable of shooting anything. I have tried more times than I can count to quit and each time I fail. I know I am not able to do it alone so I am appealing to those much wiser than I am.
I have decided that I am going to try something that I have never considered but read on a related site. Porn does not exist for me anymore. Masterbation doesn't exist for me either. They are not options I can consider or turn to because they do not exist to me anymore. That part of the Internet does not exist and never did as far as I am concerned. That part of my life has been mentally deleted. Every inappropriate image that pops in to my head I envision it being instantly dropped in to a shredder and it comes out dust thats blown away.
I am augmenting that mindset with daily scripture reading and prayer. What do you, the community, think? Am I in the right frame of mind? Any advice? Comments and encouragement is expected and welcome.
