I'm having a good day. Been praying a lot. Noticing that my fleshly brain tends to get into daydreaming a lot. Like a lot. And I believe that my own head is a pretty bad place to be. I'm working on dwelling in God's head instead. I've been very thankful today for the gifts that God has blessed me with. I'm talking about the gifts that have come with this journey to break free from porn. When dealing with the roots, I'm reminded of how better of a man I've transformed into. All because of this journey. Porn addiction is a bad thing, but the path to healing has been such a blessed one. This is a path that I never would have been on had it not been for the addiction to begin with. Crazy. What the world has considered bad, God has used for good.

What the world has considered bad, God has used for good. Hi Kevin,
praise God, bro! I can definitely relate. Although it's been an incredibly long journey, I am actually blessed in my Christian walk right now. I have joy, and that's something I couldn't have said 5 years ago. Hallelujah! The problem has not gone away completely, but there's been healing. And that healing from the Lord means that God has substantially taken this problem away from me now. Whereas it was a day-to-day war, a knife fight for every minute or day of sobriety before, I am blessed to say that even after a stumble like I had two weeks ago, I'm reasonably quickly back to a place where if I'm moderately careful, and make sure I don't overload myself, porn is not part of my life any more. And, I enjoy a closer fellowship with God and with other believers than ever before, largely because of that sobriety and the joy of knowing the Lord has delivered me (and He has answered prayer in other parts of my life, too), at least, so far, to a level of freedom from porn that I never would have thought possible. Whereas before two weeks was a long amount of sobriety for me, now the joyful times between stumbles are stretching to two, three, four months. Because of the faithfulness of God's provision in this, how He has given me healing, I have belief that He will lead me on from glory to glory from now on. Praise the Lord!
