After having suffered from addiction to pornography all my life. However through pastor John's "six steps in defeating lust " series, God has worked miracles in me. This sin of lust which I have had no power against alone has been overpowered by the love and grace of the Lord. Coincidentally around this time I also started developing feelings for this godly woman in church. Hopefully she is the one but God will be the decider of that . Praise the Lord !
I suffer from depression and addiction to lust and porn. I am currently in recovery and therapy to help overcome this addiction. I have already had a small victory in that I haven't desired to look at porn or lusted in a month. But my total recovery will take years and I know that celibacy will be best for me until I am better. But I may simply extend my singleness to lifelong if I achieve the peace I've been longing for.
At age 52, I have been single since birth. Me being a low-income employee, never had a car of my own, previous sexual harassment complaints about me in school and even in my previous church, and being emotionally disturbed by stressful situations has kept me from being ANY girl’s boyfriend in my entire life until the day I die, which will be after age 100. I have lived ALONE for almost 34 YEARS. That has also kept me from dating. Doing my own cooking, cleaning, and my own laundry 100% of the time has also made me totally self-sufficient.
I completely disagree with the first response from Matt. What if meeting the right person is what can cure the p0rn addiction? From personal experience, when I met that special person I quit p0rn spontaneously. I didn't even have any further desires to look at p0rn. All I could think about was her. Do you realize that 80% of the male population watches p0rn? If we all had to quit p0rn before dating, then the majority of the male population would never date in their lifetime. Let's use some common sense and get off your high horse, Matt.

Wait, what do you guys think about this.... this guy being interviewed was really interfering in his life and saying "You are not being wise to pursue a woman" and it was out of fear of heartbreak... fear, simply because the guy didn't want to handle some guys he had issue with. How does that even equate? Also, we are not given a spirit of fear, why must we be fearful of pain? I don't like the idea of giving a person reign over your life like this. ruclips.net/video/Q5EpO8XkOS0/видео.html
Rachel Martin image being a MAN without a woman’s touch for 25 years. While we don’t have the gift of marriage let’s be grateful for our other gifts like good health, family, food, shelter, freedom, friends, our jobs and most of all Jesus even if it feels like he doesn’t care for us.

Simple answer: NOT READY. They would hurt the woman they date deeply....
In no way should a person date until they overcome this.
Yes I am in total agreement with you.
True. It's like cheating.

Just said a prayer for you- that God would use you for His kingdom. You seem to convey a sense of despair, but also dismissal? I think I can relate

3 years - please! People have suffered alone for DECADES!
@@Yesica1993 some suffer, Most are in peace and enjoying their lives because life isn't all about mating up!
@@CoolioMoDee That would be because you've bought into the nonsense the church tells you. There is nothing wrong with porn.
@@michaelbedsole970 christian or non, there is soooo much wrong with porn.
