I Crossed The Line One Last Time!
Mon, 03/09/2009 - 20:35
Hey guys,
OK, so I did it. I am officially porn free!!! I've done this once or twice before but this time there is no turning back.
I received my Pink Cross T-Shirt in the mail today and it gave me my final push to get rid of all my magazines, 30 to be exact. There is no way I could wear the Pick Cross T-Shirt knowing that I still had porn in my room.
From this point on there is no porn on my computer. I no longer have any DVDs or Magazines. And I also got rid of my sex toys.
I am porn Free. March 10, 2009 is the date of my exit from porn's grasp.

Thanks Guys!
I always felt a weight that held me down because of the porn I had. When I threw it all away and took it to the trash that weight became real to me. That bag was so heavy. When I tossed it in the trash I felt so relieved. I will defiantly let you guys know how things go. By the way I wearing my Pink Cross T-Shirt right now and it feels great! Thank You again for the comments guys!

There's a reason why some refer to porn as garbage for the soul... because in belongs in the garbage!
You did a wonderful and brave thing today! I'm very proud of you!
But just remember... Satan will definitely throw all sorts of stuff at you to make you fall back into temptation. Whether it might be a girl your interested in that reminds you of a porn actress, type of clothing line that's pro-porn lifestyle, friends of yours that still live in that porn obsessed fantasy, etc etc... Satan loves to appear in many disguises to lure you back in so be aware.
My suggestion is, (from my own experience) you probably want to start writing a list of a few possible positive outlets to replace the addiction so your mind can forget that pattern of dependency of mental stimulation from watching porn.
Also, I'm not sure if you're aware of this but, porn addiction is considered similar to drug and alcohol addiction. Back in November 2004, a panel of experts testified before a Senate subcommittee that a product which millions of Americans consume is dangerously addictive. They were talking about pornography.
The effects of porn on the brain were called "toxic" and compared to cocaine. One psychologist claimed "prolonged exposure to pornography stimulates a preference for depictions of group sex, sadomasochistic practices, and sexual contact with animals."
There's no doubt that some people's porn consumption gets them in trouble. In some cases, (just like in my past experience) it can result in the form of maxed-out credit cards, lost sleep, neglected responsibilities, or neglected loved ones.
One of the key features of any addiction is the development of a tolerance to the addictive substance. In the way that drug addicts need increasingly larger doses to get high, most researchers believe porn addicts need to see more and more extreme material to feel the same level of excitement they first experienced.
Whether it's working out at the gym more, getting involved in your community, joining a youth group, playing sports, or even helping others overcome their addictions... all of these things are suggestions that can help guide your focus away from pornography and into a more positive direction for a healthy lifestyle.
Welcome back to the real world and wear that shirt with pride! You're free!
Your Friend,

YOU'RE A CHAMPION. :--)))
i also bought a pink cross t shirt and and have been porn free since ive bought it. awesome the way god works.this was in december
That's awesome. Keep us posted on how you are doing.
You spit in Satan's face and he will not let you walk away easily. Expect temptation. Expect struggle. Prepare for it like a soldier going to war. The enemy is not done with you yet and he has a few tricks up his sleeve you need to be ready for.
"The Word of God is sharper than any two-edged sword..." Make sure you don't forget your sword.
You have brothers fighting alongside you, and we can help.
