Hi all, I started the August challenge yesterday and wanted to post a quick thread. I have come back to this forum after a time away. I have learnt a few things about myself and about my habit of looking at porn. Perhaps one of the most important things I have learnt is that we cannot do this journey by ourselves. We need the help and support of others along the way. And of course, we need the grace of God. One of the things that keeps surprising me is the fact that I know by now what I should be doing. I know my triggers and the feeling of cravings. I know all the warning signs. But if I am not helped by God to do the healthy thing, I am just not going to do it. It seems to me that this journey is trying to teach me to surrender to God and to his grace. And boy oh boy is it a tough lesson! So, please pray for me and I'll pray for you on your journeys.
Complete and total surrender to him is indeed in the offing. It is also true in my experience that we cannot walk this path alone. We need the help of a supportive community and friends who know us well. I hope that you will be able to find that here in our group. We are in this fight together!
