Sexual Addiction-Men!
Recognizing the Problem
We share a common experience of engaging in sexual behaviors,
which are demoralizing and demeaning to another, or ourselves,
which we feel unable to stop. We have sacrificed
relationships, jobs, or our humanity, and yet we continued to
engage in these damaging and compulsive sexual behaviors.
We
had built a wall of lust around our hearts that gave the
illusion of connection. We felt safe, but we remained alone
inside our prison. Unconsciously we felt we were somehow broken,
that we were different from others and not normal. Sex with
ourselves or with others gave us a false sense of acceptance and
thus the cure to our worthlessness. We needed a constant
supply of sexual activity to stay cured. To lust is to live.
Lust had became the most important thing in our lives. Some of
us were willing to risk and lose everything to get and keep it.
Only when we came face to face with the truth that lust was a
liar did we become willing to let it go. Lust promises to
connect us with others and make us whole. But it never
does.
The Solution
We have
accepted that we cannot control our lustful thoughts and
behaviors in our own strength. We have learned that
through the power of Jesus Christ we can live pure lives, one
minute at a time and one day at a time. If you identify with
these issues, and if you are weary from your struggle, then we
invite you to fellowship with us as we daily seek the Lord's
guidance on our journey of recovery from sexual addiction.
