Fighting porn addiction with faith

This guy has one of the sickest business models I have seen in awhile... Charge people not to look at porn! If only I was religious.

If you just can't stop looking at pictures of naked women - I mean, so much so that it's wrecking your life - Steve Gallagher has a plan for you. Pay $5,400 to spend six weeks living with 54 other men at his Pure Life Ministries in Dry Ridge (the fee includes one meal a day).

You'll abstain from sex or erotica; spend your days working - probably at a factory job in Florence; and spend your evenings and weekends in intensive Bible study and prayer.

"We lead these men into an encounter with God," Gallagher told me.

"When they have an encounter with God, they have true repentance, and something changes inside. There's a new determination and energy to do the right thing and walk away from their habitual pattern of behavior," he said.

Gallagher doesn't have statistics on how many men relapse when they leave the program, but he guesses about one-third never return to sexual addiction, one-third dabble in it, but then right themselves - and one-third relapse for good.
