I can now say I’ve had three years of solid sobriety with no acting out.
WILL GOD FORGIVE MY ADDICTION HOW TO
My intimacy wounds are healing, and I’m learning how to trust my wife and the Lord with all of me.
Now when I struggle, I understand why and have resources to help. I learned that at the core of sexual bondage, there’s often an intimacy wound. Ted and his wife navigated us through sexual addiction counseling integrated with a biblical worldview. I had finally met a Christian man who could make sense of what was happening in my life. I had tried everything and stopped believing I could be free.Ī chance encounter with Ted Roberts, founder of Pure Desire Ministries, resulted in my wife and me beginning his counseling and recovery program. I decided either I was broken beyond repair or that, maybe, God wasn’t real. I believed Jesus wanted to transform me, but I could not understand why He wouldn’t heal this area. I attended counseling, but that didn’t help with my addiction. It was a great year, but it didn’t help with my addiction. I took a year away from ministry to focus on restoration. I didn’t understand why I was powerless over this sexual darkness, so I hid that life at whatever cost. I lived two lives, and my shame started to grow. I brought my pornography addiction with me. When I was 21, I attended Bible school in Austria and later entered full-time Christian ministry. Maybe you’re fighting one now or know someone who is. I thought I needed to figure it out on my own, just Jesus and me. I began feeling guilty in high school but learned it was better not to talk about it. I came to Christ at a young age and grew up in church, but there was always a dark side to me. Learn real solutions to overcome hurts and struggles, and start to thrive in life.
