I write about my experience, as a Warning to others
Backslider
This is phrase you don’t hear about these days, not surprising when you consider the depths of depravity this world indulges in
I should know as I was more depraved than I would like to admit, even though I had recently surrendered all to Jesus, and was experiencing freedom far beyond description
This was after too many years of attempting to kick the habit which had by then turned into an addiction
Perhaps due to vanity or just weakness, I allowed myself to take control of my free will when I say “control” I ought to say Lack of control
I backslide and soon was overtaken by the addiction once again, it seems I had forgotten just how quickly you can get entangled and just how overpowering the effects on my mind were
My mind was quickly filled with demanding thoughts, leaving no room for any other thoughts, to the extent that I forgot everyday things I need to do
What little pleasure I gained was short lived and not satisfying at all, yet the urge to continue indulging became even stronger, snuffing out all of my creative thoughts
Leaving me unable to even start another story, until I confessed backsliding back into my porn addiction and knew that this needed to be my next story
Porn is the modern day updated version of Lust, porn poisons the mind filling it so completely, it leave no room and offers no release and certainly no freedom
Even if many may say they are exercising their free will, so they have found freedom, they as I was, they are being deceived or lying to ourselves
Know this fellow Christians any addiction is really slavery binding us with stronger chains than can be imagined, I would rather be a servant to my savior
Than continue as a slave of addition and therefore sin!

Thanks for your post. I’m using Scripture like the below to help me get rid of things that aren’t part of heaven. Blessings!
Psalm 107:10-16 New King James Version (NKJV)
10 Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Bound in affliction and irons—
11 Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And despised the counsel of the Most High,
12 Therefore He brought down their heart with labor;
They fell down, and there was none to help.
13 Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,
And He saved them out of their distresses.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their chains in pieces.
15 Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness,
And for His wonderful works to the children of men!
16 For He has broken the gates of bronze,
And cut the bars of iron in two.
