Addiction and the Light

"According to the National Association of Sexual Addiction Problems, 6% or 1 out of 17 Americans are sexual addicts."

" Sex addicts, like others with compulsive behavior problems, continually re-cycle their pain in a pattern that repeats in The Cycle of Addiction : Sex addicts are wounded people and it's this pain that begins the cycle of sexual addiction for them."

" I went to a Gamblers' Anonymous meeting in Las Vegas (with the permission of everyone present, who knew I was there to observe) and they were as plainly addicted as the cocaine and heroin addicts I have known in my life."

"human beings have a deep need to bond and form connections. It's how we get our satisfaction. If we can't connect with each other, we will connect with anything we can find"

"Substance-Related Addiction: Tobacco, Alcohol, Street drugs, Prescription drugs...
 Behavioral or Process Addiction: Gambling, Food, Sex, The Internet, Video Games, ..."

" Luk 15:29 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: Luk 15:30 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf."

" Just as it says in the Bible: Acts 2:38 Then Peter Said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost ."

" Rom 6: 4 THEREFORE we are buried with him by baptism into death: so did like as Christ which raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father even so We Should walk in newness of life."

" I had a meeting with one of the pastors and he helped me break the soul bonds I had created with all my past partners."

" I think porn can be really destructive and I find covenant eyes helps me manage those urges, but I recommend not using a church for support unless you happen to fit into their cookie cutter expectation."

" I teach lust addicts to form a habit of the heart that whenever the thought of lust comes to them they re-direct their mind to engage their heart to offer a Scripture based prayer of devotion to Jesus like, Whom have I in the heavens but you Lord and earth has nothing I desire besides you (Psalm 73:25)."

" Enjoyment won't give you the same hit of excitement that you want, but if you stay sober long enough and even allow yourself to feel bored at times (resting the pleasure center in your brain) then you can find that joy is indeed way better, more meaningful and longer lasting than the illicit excitement you've craved."

" For some addiction is alcohol and drugs, but for many it may be food , whether overeating or under eating; money with obsession or over spending, over indulgence, when your main goal in life is obtaining things ; working too much, not working at all; cares of this world take over the true meaning and purpose of life; children , if they control your life and become the center of your world instead of God ( your home should be Christ centered, not child centered ); self pride , when obsessed with your own beauty or body size or image, or self importance; reasoning , as in over analyzing everything; religion , when traditions becomes the center of your life instead of God; temporary pleasures of this life; self gratification , no matter what the cost; pursuing and participating in sin , even when you know it is wrong ; and the list goes on and on, reviling, extortioners, abominations, disobedience, laziness, fornication, effeminate, unrighteousness, blasphemy, cursing, selfishness, self pride, gossip, material possessions, children, spouse, person, exercise, adultery, abusers of self, television, cutting self, abuse, gambling, video games, smoking, hatred, bitterness, music, pornography, lying, cheating, stealing, coveting, idolatry, sex, immorality, lust, or the internet."

" Matthew 17:20 When you say I can't , you are saying I don't believe God can , you are saying that you don't believe the Word of God --- because the Word of God clearly states: with God all things are possible."

" 1 Corinthians 15:57 Thank God for deliverance: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Colossians 1:13 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever."

" But until you can establish a common denominator between porn and Jesus (that is, finding what it is that both porn and Jesus are trying to satisfy in you), the illustration won't make sense nor will it free you from your addiction."

" Christ is enough for him, not because he provides an orgasmic experience beyond anything porn could offer, but because Jesus's sacrifice on the cross for him gives him all the acceptance one could ever hope to achieve: acceptance before the one person in this universe whose opinion really matters."
