If you're sitting around watching porn, stop and think about what mission you should be on right now. Should you be on a date? Should you be working? Starting a business? Talking to a friend? Playing basketball? Lifting weights? Reading your Bible? Get up and get mission!
@FightTheNewDrug There are so many reasons to quit porn. Many have to do with the mental health of the consumer and his/her relationships. But our society needs to quit porn for everybody's sake.
Being a mental health therapist in private practice is the perfect job for me. However, I'm looking to publish a book this year. My mission in writing this book is to help men put porn behind and build purity of mind. The book is already complete and ready to go...
@Dearme2_ I already have the perfect job for me, but I am working toward publishing a book to help men put porn behind. That should be published this year. That' s my affirmation.
Ask yourself, "what is the hardest challenge I have overcome in my life?" Then identify something harder but worth doing, and do it. That will help you grow. Name it in a reply and hold yourself to it.
Porn is no substitute for the real thing. When a man gets married and builds great intimacy with his wife, the experience they have together is a physical and spiritual extreme. Nothing else compares.
