There is one thing that precedes every relapse with porn. It's not a powerful trigger, a stressful day at work, free porn on your hotel TV, or a web link sent from a coworker. It's an internal action we CHOOSE.

This week is Father's day and it got me to thinking about my dad. My dad was a loving father who modeled integrity and humility. However he was very silent on the issue of sexuality and pornography. My dad struggled to talk with me about the issue of porn even as an adult. So you can imagine how lost I felt has a teenager and young man as I got swallowed up in addiction.

Your first step to healing is coming clean about your problem with pornography and masturbation. What can you do this week to come clean? Take a risk and tell someone what's going on with you. Be concrete about what you are sharing. You don't have to be graphic but you should mention pornography and masturbation. Share the frequency and don't minimize or try to hide. Who could you tell? Your goal is be honest with yourself and others. Even if they don't have the best response. This is practice for you in learning to be honest on a ongoing basis.
