“I spent years struggling alone and actively looking for help, but it was very difficult to find anyone who actually had experience.
After not watching porn for a year I got the shakes one night trying to fight temptation and felt like a drug addict.
I thought to myself, maybe this is an addiction? That was at age 19 after struggle for 6 years.
I went too celebrate recovery at my church and the leader told me I was fine and didn’t need the program. Praise God I ignored him and did it anyway.
It helped and I was sober 8 years. I got married, had kids, but always wanted a resource to help unpack some thoughts.
Well I found pure desire about the same time I relapsed hard two years ago.
Now the process of healing and recovery is beginning again. It’s very hard not to give in to hopelessness, but unlike 10 years ago I have pure desire to guide me. I’m never alone in Christ and having a guide (pure desire) reminds me there is hope for healing and helps open my eyes to my blind spots.
I could write a novel about the ways this ministry has helped but the biggest goft is knowing there are people who have recovered and there are answers to many of the seeming unanswered questions I struggled with for years. Thank you for all you do and please never stop.”
