I need help.(inappropriate content addiction.)

I listen to this call in forum on Sat radio. and people claim this program called Every Man's Battle really works. Here's a link Livres audio et plus | Votre premier livre est gratuit! | Audible.ca

I've heard radio pastors confess they installed inappropriate content filters on their own computers, so that could be a place to start. God can empower you to beat this addiction!

Dear friend, I am so sorry that you are suffering in this. inappropriate contentogrphy is a ugly monster that is once entertained, Will keeping wanting more and more until a person is very lost in a deep dark world of sin and deception and the doors that have been opened are not easily shut.
There is simply no way to overcome this addiction overnight and sadly many men suffer from this sin of lust.
First and foremost please place a inappropriate content blocker on your computer. These are free and when you are tempted, Pick up the Word of God and read. Eph 6:12 is what you are battling , So you need to put on the armor. There is much power and healing in the Word of God.

Keep fighting friend. You will be victories and if you need an accountability partner, I will be happy to chat with you anytime via private message :]
Praying strength for you.

Friend, you're not abnormal and you're not alone. Especially these days, increasing numbers of children are exposed to explicit imagery (or behaviour) at far too young an age and it has its impact on them before they even understand what it's about.

What you're going through is not your fault, and awful struggle though it is, you don't need to hold onto guilt and shame. It is genuinely an addiction, as you're aware, and you CAN be free of it. And you DO deserve to be free of it. You're not a piece of whatever — you are the image and likeness of God. That's your true nature, however much it feels buried under all the rotten stuff that you never asked for or chose in the first place. And God can and does see through to that true nature of yours and He WILL lift you up to see it for yourself, no matter how long it takes for you to find that clarity and peace.

One website I'm aware of that I know many people have found helpful is Fight the New Drug, which provides programs and resources for those struggling with inappropriate content addiction. It's not specifically religious but not anti-religion at all either, just based on the science of how addiction works and how to break the hold of it. Also, it's a good idea to find someone to talk to about this, someone you can trust who's also coming at it from a Christian standpoint — perhaps your pastor or a friend at your church. This addiction is so common nowadays that there are many people of faith who'll be equipped to help you and who'll understand and won't condemn, but just support you for as long as you need. You're doing absolutely the right thing by recognising you need help, especially for the sake of a relationship with someone special. (And by the way, women do often struggle with temptations as well, so although it may not be the right time to talk to your friend about it just now, she may be more understanding and empathetic than you expect. If she does already see past your problems to something — someone — that she loves, that's a very good sign.)

Praying for you, brother — you're on the right track already and you CAN find your way forward to freedom. You're not fighting alone, remember. God is with you and He won't lose sight of you or give up on His own child, ever.

fasting I would recommend your soul is at stake,

Put a Crucifix in front of, or besides your PC monitor. Look at it deeply everytime you want to sin. How can you with the Crucifix right in front of you?

You choose. Either Jesus or your addiction?

It's a very common thing these days, like the epidemic of obesity, and diabetes, because food is readily available at all times and all places. Self-control is hardly mentioned in our culture, and rarely if ever practiced unless through compulsion. But yes, if your soul is at stake then maybe fasting a demon out of its' stronghold, with prayer and God's help, is something to consider. Of course this would mean not just fasting by controlling food intake, but also, and more importantly, the particular food this particular demon has grown so strong on. Physiologically, it's going to take rewiring the Limbic system, which doesn't happen overnight; especially if you consider the amount of years it's taken to reach its' current setting.

Getting old helps, but only if the getting older has made one experienced enough to exercise self-control. There is no addiction humans are more hard-wired for than to the lust chemicals released in the brain. The Oxytocin is an opioid that pretty much amounts to a type of heroin made in-house. This is why inappropriate content has become one of the worst epidemics of secret sin out there, and why many are able to reason away that many other people are looking at it to some degree so it must not be that dangerous. Well, keep in mind the XXX was originally used to label the strongest of moonshine. The only way out of any addiction is cold turkey, any connection to it is the one that can lead you back to it. Cut it out completely before you wake up one day and aren't able to walk down the street without lusting over any half-decent looking member of the opposite sex. Because when the body has essentially been allowed to defeat the mind and soul over and over again, the mind and soul becomes less and less able to resist it.

I had to finally get so disgusted with my own weakness toward this particular addiction, that I fell prostrate and wept a prayer to be delivered from the evil of it. So far I haven't relapsed, but have had to fight off the temptation many times with Jesus giving me great resolve, and the mentality that "I'd sooner die" rather than return to it even once more, because spiritual death is ultimately what it leads to. I am by no means out of the woods, because, like that of any other addict, my habit was developed and reinforced gradually. It will take continued, perhaps lifelong, vigilance to guard against relapsing. The book At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry was given to me by my pastor and turned out to be a great moral support, because it let me know just how many other people's lives have been tormented and ruined by this monster. I highly recommend it.

Its hard to make a confession like this, but it's important to bring the things we want to keep hidden into the light, so good for you! and reaching out for support and prayer from your family is also an important step to take so as a sister in Christ I'm here and praying for you! It might help if you realize you are in one of the biggest battles we face with the enemy today. And this really is a battle. Its time to suit up with your armor and get your sword ready and don't forget who it is that goes before you and stands behind and beside you! You can do this!

Father, I pray that You will bring the people and truths into this one's life that will bring him deliverance and victory and the blessings he seeks. Father, You know all the details necessary. I pray they will be applied. Amen.

xxxchurch.com has many resources to help with quitting inappropriate content

Lord we pray for Beloved_Dust_Heap, please set him free from inappropriate content addiction. Give your strength, understanding to say no to inappropriate content. Lord please bless this prayer. In Jesus gracious name, Amen!

Your story is way common in this time with inappropriate content all over the place. Good for you that you want to be free. Good for you that you want to be honest with any serious relationship with a girl. You must not call yourself a POS. You are a victim of this culture and you want to get free!

You can't get free by trying. No doubt you've tried and tried already. Only by turning this over to the Lord, completely, can you get free. "Anyone who continues to sin becomes a slave to sin," but our Savior "came to set the captives free."

Now there is a resource that so many men (and women with the women's version) have found incredibly helpful, and it is Christian oriented. There is a book called Every Man's Battle and I think a website and maybe a forum where you can get and give support and possibly have an accountability group. You may be able to help others, too.

I pray for your total, kept, freedom.

they don't tell you that inappropriate content is MORE addictive then heroin.

because they don't want you to know it. they flooded us with it to get us addicted to it.

here we all are, face to face with the devil. Jesus said it's better to cut off your hand, pluck out your eyes, because your killing yoursoul. children you would have had, no longer within the power of your fate. your destiny changes for the worse, everytime you do it.

those damned beings lying to you, telling you it's ok, hey it must be ok right? it's not illegal or anything.

sex is beautiful and good and wonderful thing but you must never waste the energy that binds you to another person, for that reason , that it binds you to other people. if you seek to dominate others with the energy then you become one with satan, if you seek to liberate people and animals with your energies, your will will be opposed to the dark forces and that is why they are trying to destroy you.

I have heard of many helped by Every Man's Battle too, including one who was posting on this forum about the problem.

You cannot just resist and fight and fight on your own. You have already seen over and over that such an approach doesn't work. "The battle is YHWH's" aka the Lord's. "Anyone who continues to sin becomes a slave to sin...." However, we have a Savior Who "came to set the captives free."

The devil and his hoard are stronger than you on this and always would be. But He is infinitely stronger than them. I pray that, with some support from others as helpful, you will turn it all over to Him. "Cast your care on YHWH for He cares for you."

Fasting can indeed be a great help to bondage breaking. However, it depends on your health and how you do it. Some people think they have to fast for 40 days and nights. Moses and Messiah did that, but we ain't them!

Fasting, if overdone, is verrrry stressful to the adrenals. If they get weak it can really do bad things to your health overall. IF you are very healthy, a once a week water only fast for 24 hours can work wonders. It may take practice to reach that level. If you have health issues, be very cautious.
