Getting out of porn? Some quick tips!

You want to get out of porn ? Here are some quick and practical tips to quit your addiction !

1. Talking about it. (it’s at least a start)

Talk about it with one of your relatives, your friends or anyone who’s kind with you, who will not judge you and will encourage you : because, alas, porn is truly an addiction which locks you up and makes you feel sad. 

2. Getting some help (it’s essential)

It’s quite impossible to win this war by yourself : this is the reason why you need some help. You can find some specific help – as on this website- or a more regular one -with a priest’s help, for the spiritual aspects of this fight. You can too find help with a therapist, some of them know particularly well the subject, and will receive in consultations. Unfortunately, a lot of people face the same difficulties as you do. Don’t be afraid to knock at their door ! 

3. Confession use

This is for the spiritual side : if you’ve been baptized, leave your addiction into Jesus’ arms. Go and see the same priest for confession, each time you’re falling. It will be a good help ! Unlike family dishes, the more you go to confession, the less it wears out. And the more you receive God’s help to go through ! And if you’re not baptized, well, ask for baptism ! (Just come and talk with us on the Chat, you’ll see, being christian changes life!)

4. Ask for the sacrament of the sick.

And, why not ? After all, if you feel overwhelmed, unable to resist in front of this addiction ? Talk with your priest, knowing that you certainly could receive this sacrament discreetly. The gifts received to face your problem will be  numerous.

5. Following a healing journey

Several of them exist and are very well made and are free. We strongly recommand the  journey « Free to love »,that can be followed by e-mail (find out more)

6. Ask for a deliverance prayer

We offer one of them on this website ! Warning, this is not a magical formula, but it can help a lot, and, if God wants it, it can heal you too !

What is porn? Good question!

“The people are more easily enslaved with pornography, than with watchtowers”

– Alexandre Soljenitsyne

The word pornography comes from the Greek words pornê: prostitute and graphein: describe. Up until a century ago, pornography was limited to describing sexual encounters with prostitutes.

This has almost nothing in common with what we can find on the internet today: paedophilia, scatophiliac, bestiality, sadomasochism, rape etc. We cannot yet measure the fallout of the X-rated world, and the consequences this new drug has on the brain. It concerns perverseness and machoism towards women.

People imagine the life of “X-rated” stars to be the stuff of dreams, thinking they take pleasure in making hardcore films. This is entirely false, as Shelley Lubben, an american former actress testifies in her autobiography.

Besides, increasing numbers of health professionals are warning against the serious damage caused by porn in young people.

We are ready to listen to you!

Listening to you and talking together? We, the volunteers, often get asked why we offer to speak directly with you. The answer is simple: every person is worthy of being listened to, understood, helped, encouraged.

Perhaps you’re not sure if you’re loved. Maybe you even blame yourself; you don’t think you’re worthy of love or attention, or fellowship or simply-speaking, a relationship with anyone anymore.

However, there is someone who loves you more than anything, who has desired you to be, since eternity. He knows the number of hairs on your head, he has written your name on the palm of his hand.

His name is God. Yes, I know, you’re going to say that maybe you don’t believe in him. But it doesn’t matter: at the very least, we are here for you, in a visible way, here at SOSPorn.org, to listen to you. It’s as simple as that.

We care of you!

If we are here, it’s because we are interested in you. We have compassion for you, whatever difficulties or suffering you are going through. It’s our role as Christians: never to make you feel guilty, but to listen, which comes back, in a way, to loving you.

We want to reach out to you. Not asking for anything in return. We don’t expect anything from you other than a simple dialogue, equal to equal. Human being to human being. To talk together. Perhaps finding the right words to describe the pain in your life. Because if you don’t talk to us, how can we listen?

And then, and only then. And only if you want to, we suggest turning towards Him, whom you might not believe in but who did however send us to you, here on this Internet page. It’s plain to see. And maybe it’ll give you some peace, who knows? In any case, it won’t cost you anything to try: dare to have this experience with us!

Ex-porn addict: how did he get out of it?

During adolescence, Joseph fell into addictions little by little, video games, pornography… later, after failing an important exam, he cried out to God: “If you exist, show me you’re alive and that you’re at work!”.

To get over failing his exam, he spent some time apart, by himself. And at that point I thought to myself:

“Joseph, there are some things which aren’t quite right in your life, you’re not happy, you’re as hard as stone, your heart is all dried up, you haven’t found a reason for living, the flavour of life”

And in that moment, I cried out from my heart and I said to God:

“If you exist, you have to show me your presence in my life, you have to intervein and show me you’re alive, that you’re at work in the world”.

From that moment on, I started getting closer to God. One day, I went into a church, I had the desire in me to go to confession, I went to confession with a priest… For my penitence, the priest invited me to kneel before Jesus in the host exposed on the altar, and ask him to tell me how much he loves me. This moment was a huge turning point for me, I knelt down in front of the altar and I said to Jesus:

“Here I am Lord, if you want to show me your love, I’m here, available for You.”

Right then, I felt all the intensity of God’s love and mercy in my heart, I broke down, I burst into tears and since that moment, my life has never been the same…

And you, what do you think? Do you want to be an ex-porn addict too, delivered by Jesus from this addiction? Do you too want to receive help from heaven to get rid of this addiction? We are here to pray with you and ask Carlo Acutis for his intercession:
