Understanding Porn Addiction | Page 20

A spiritual perspective on porn

As we’ve explored in this e-book, pornography addiction has a real, damaging effect. At the most basic level, porn addiction is a person’s attempt to cope with emotional, physical or spiritual pain. Porn is a poor substitute for real relationships, the addiction is unhealthy, and it doesn’t address the real underlying issues of addiction. That’s why it’s important to get help and encouragement from friends, family, professional counselors and others who can help.

Here at TheHopeLine, we truly care about you and want to help you leave your porn addiction behind. No matter what problems or issues you’ve dealt with, know that God loves you and has a plan for

your life beyond what you can even imagine. Jesus tells us, “I have come so that they may have life and have it in abundance” (John 10:10 HCSB).

You are loved and accepted, regardless of what has happened in your past or your current struggles. God wants to have a real relationship with you and to help you overcome porn

addiction.
