I am 19 years old and I have a problem with porn. Recently I have made a commitment to God to stop viewing it. Yes, I have done this many times before but this time I am trying to stay true to my promise. I believe the first time I have ever seen pornographic items it was in second grade. My porn addiction has not become a noticeable problem til I entered college, specifically my Bible college. I would spend so much time trying to resist porn that I would instead purposefully pray that I would have a dream with sex in it at night. I spend most of my life thinking this was a problem only guys have. I literally thought I was the only girl in the world with this addiction. My self-esteem and worth has dropped tremendously over the years because so. I am confident I will not have a successful relationship that is solely based on God because of my porn problem which typically leads to sexual relations with guys. It's been about a month since I have not viewed porn and I have really been struggling to keep this up. I help on leadership at my church and a lot of my friends turn to me for spiritual guidance but I feel as if I am in no position to lead or assist anyone. At this point I honestly do not think I will ever get over this.
