• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You want to get out you say?

This is a big step in the right direction. Using sex to create money is a sin, its abusing the human bodys for pleasure and money. As you know money can be a sin. It will be hard for you to break out of this, but pray, god will lead you on and help you, i will also add you in my prayers.

If you have qualifications, take a new careea path, if not go to colledge, study something new, that you will enjoy doing and feel comfortable with. If you a person who lives for money start thinking about whats really important. Money will only buy material products, as you know material things disapear and rot away. The most important thing in life is your relationship with god.

If you need some help PM me id be happy to help. I will reply to your posts also.

I know that I cannot be a guiding light in your life, that's God's job. What I really want to say is, sometimes in life we do what is honorable and right. This happens in two ways:

honorable and right for ourselves,
OR
honorable and right for the universe.

I cannot help you, but you have to make financial decisions independent of your family, regardless of your spiritual, emotional and psychological feelings about it.

I want you to check out a site called www.oprah.com see if it can give you insights into your problem.

But
when we do what's right for ourselves;
we get short term gain
when we do what's right for the universe;
we get good returns

I was thinking earlier that my heart was broken, but the thing is that when we learn the concepts of honour and righteousness, our beliefs actually shift.

I am guessing that you are having sex, and getting paid for it while being filmed. What I think of it is not important. What is important is, what do you think of what God says about sex, and are you willing to come into obedience to that.

More important than anything is, do you have a relationship with Jesus Christ? If you don't, then, your behavior is not the problem, your spiritual condition is. If you have accepted Christ as your personal saviour, you are now indwelled by the Holy Spirit. If you have not accepted Christ, I suggest you do so.

Without Jesus as your saviour, you will not have the Holy Spirit's power to change your behavior and your life. With Jesus, you can make the changes you want to make to be holy and pure for God.

Hi Carmen,
It was so brave of you to come here and ask for help. Good for you. :clap:
I was in the adult industry for many years and have been out of it for 2.5 years now. I know how hard it is to get out. I'm going to pm you and we can talk a little more privately, ok? God is going to take care of you sweetie!
