The ultimate solution to addiction is greater spiritual depth and purpose—a deeper relationship with God. And to really overcome forces as powerful as addictions, it takes God’s help. As Paul wrote, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20, KJV).
Porn is not an insurmountable enemy. But victory requires commitment to yourself and your relationships. As authors Stephen Arterburn and Fred Stoeker write in Every Man’s Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time: “The battle for purity is… about becoming your wife’s hero and not her nightmare, and proving you’re man enough to make your commitments to her stick.” (p. 229). The Christian life is a fight—all the way to the end! “But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life” (1 Timothy 6:11–12). If you are struggling, do not lose heart! Jesus Christ living in you can change your thoughts. He can change your life! But you need to choose!
