Today is “No Porn Awareness Day” according to the No Porn Club, and it ties in to my personal struggle and a thought that has been on my mind.

This is all about self control. I’ve dealt with pornography addiction since I was 13, and until very recently, I was never able to get a full hold on it. I’m still fighting it, but much more successfully recently, thanks to my increased focus on my walk with God.

But what it all boils down to is self control.

We see people ruin their lives every day. Samson in the Bible had incredible strength, abilities and potential, but lack of self control turned him into a slave for the rest of his life.

NFL athletes are raking in millions of dollars in multi-year contracts, but can’t control themselves off the field, as their legal issues pile up and will eventually destroy what they worked so hard to be. (Aaron Hernandez, Ray Rice, Adrian Petersen, etc.)

Pornography is destructive. Period. Don’t let it ruin your life and relationships.
