28: My Conversion & Recovery Story | How I Quit Porn with God's Help

I’m going to tell you how I quit porn. I’ll talk about some very
crucial turning points in my life that led to both my porn
addiction recovery (and recovery from other addictions) as well
as my conversion to Jesus Christ. 


I grew up in a Christian family - traditional Christian values,
parents dedicated to their faith, very conservative. Porn, to say
the least, was not considered a “normal thing to watch” in my
household. 


At 13 years old I began looking at porn. It started slow and over
the years became more and more extreme. 


I knew that pornography could cause harm to the brain. I didn’t
understand the true significance of that though - the things
using porn could do like creating anxiety, depression, motivation
issues, and screwing up views of women, relationships, and sex.


By 17 years old I was slowly going downhill. My addiction to porn
had expanded into drugs, alcohol, sex, and also illegal
behaviors. 


I had a lot of potential. I grew up in a good family and plenty
of advantages. But because of the many insecurities I had, my
lack of knowledge of how to deal with them in a productive way,
and my subsequent use of porn to escape, I was destroying my
capacity to do good in the world. 


I was so far gone and didn’t know how to get back. I was so far
that I really didn’t know I needed TO GET BACK. To where? I
thought I was doing just fine. 


I wasn’t.


To overcome porn addiction was an immense task, filled with
complexities and challenges. I lacked the capacity to do it
myself. When I was 17 years old, I had an experience that would
change the trajectory of my life forever.
