Dear Fred
I have seen wrong movies/pictures for over 10 years. Every time I make an attempt to stop, I am able to do it for about 3-4 weeks before I do it again. I have been fighting this addiction for the last 3-4 years. I am happily married. What do I do?
Fred's Response
I doubt that you would be happily married if your wife knew what was going on. You are running a serious risk. Evidently you let the practice go on for 7 years before you started to halt it. The consequence is a deep-seated need for the stimulation. Refer to my answer of the question "How can I strengthen my character." You have a character problem. You may require special counsel---don't hesitate to get it. This has become a reflex and you will need help to change it. Christ will remove your guilt, but not the consequences. you are going to have to face those and the battle will be tough ---expect it, but know that Christ will give you the power you need.
