Porn Addiction Resources

There are numerous resources available for men (and women) who have addictions to pornography.  The essential element in dealing with an addiction is that the FIRST STEP towards recovery takes place.  The next important step is the continual work.  The journey is long and hard but the freedom that comes from breaking the chains of an addiction to pornography is almost overwhelming.  I highly recommend checking out the 5 Step Plan to Overcoming a Pornography Addiction and then determining what sort of resource(s) you need to make your plan effective.  Here are just a few ideas, and a few resources.

• Your PLAN is essential, figure out what it needs to be, then put it into action.
• Accountability with your accountability partner.  This person needs to be a man and should not be your female friend, sister, girlfriend, fiancée or wife.
• Spiritual Direction with a priest or religious brother.  I recommend seeing a priest regularly so that you can obtain necessary graces from the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
• Sexaholics Anonymous – check your local area for locations and times.
• Counseling (If you want to get in touch with someone about counseling, I know a great counselor that does phone counseling.  Email us at Info@TrueManhood.com for his contact information.)
• Group Counseling
• Support Groups/Men’s Groups
• Books, Prayer Guides, DVDs, CDs, Podcasts, Websites, etc.
• Internet filters, software and firewalls.  Below are a few videos about Covenant Eyes that speak not only about their product, but about the destructive power and grave evil of pornography.  This is not an endorsement of Covenant Eyes, simply an example of software that is out and available and helping men overcome their addiction, and software that’s saving lives and families.
