December 31st 2011 that?s the day I reclaimed my LIFE! It has now been 1 year since I walked away from the darkness & death of my addiction to pornography.
That day I confessed my sin at Porn & Pancakes and started a battle with the sin that once controlled my life. If you don?t think it?s a battle than you have never been down that road. I still struggle with it from time to time but, I now know that God has something bigger and better for me than that. The daily images seen on TV, magazines, and the countless images that the Internet has is enough by it?s self. Today along with accountability, the word, friends, and a amazing wife I now control it.
This change has brought my wife & children back to me and restored the relationship that I once was throwing away. That season of sin stole so much from my life. I lost countless bed time stories with my kids, kiss & hugs goodnight from my daughter, and the time to be with my wife. I will never be able to get that back but, I will do my best to make sure I don?t miss out on the rest of my life.
My life is perfect now that I have removed this sin from life; would be a complete bold face lie. My life is not perfect and never will be! I still have a temper from time to time, I lose control of my mouth and say things I shouldn?t. I still SIN daily in my life. The only difference now is that I confess my sins and ask for the forgiveness that Christ died for.
Since that day I told my self I would not just take a back seat to this. I would do what ever I had to in order to help others and get this issue out in the public eye. Over the last year God has provided me & my wife so many channels to share our story. From events like Porn Sunday, Porn & Pancakes, news & television interviews. My passion for this has not faded away and I want to continue to do what ever it takes to help with this.
A huge thank you to JR Mahon, Craig Gross, hahahahahahahahaha, Donny Pauling, Friends, Family. Most of all my wife for forgiving me for what I did. Without your love and amazing commitment to your family this story would have been very different. I can?t wait to see what God has in store for us as we stand together in this battle and our lives.
