I hate this addiction.
I really hate it. Sometimes it is hard to pinpoint who the enemy is. With alchohol it seems either you drink or don't. (I guess you can fantasize about drinking). Same with drugs. You can hate drugs...the needles, the pills. Right??
But with a porn addiction....what do I hate?? I don't hate women. Do I hate beautiful women?? No. (Ok, sometimes I do) Do I ate immodest women?? Not really. Do I hate the female body?? No, God created it. Do I hate my attraction to women?? No...I thought it was supposed to be natural. (Ok, sometimes I even hate that i'm attracted to women...insane, huh?)
Obviously, the real culprit is lust. Lust is elusive. I've been trying to figure out what it is since I started going to SA. The white book says it is "cunning and baffling."
Can I simply hate lust then?? I think so. Since it seems so fictional....I wanted to post some pictures about what I want to do to lust. And you can throw the devil in that category too.
I also liked this cool vintage photo of Iron Man breaking a chain. Physically and metaphorically breaking an addiction.
Go superheros!!
I may not be a superhero yet....but God is. That why I have to surrender and call upon him to destroy lust.

Well put. I have the same feelings. I don't hate men or anything but I do hate how Satan wants us to exploit each other. Darn lust.
ReplyDeleteYes, lust addiction has some unique characteristics that make it somewhat different than other addictions! Like sin, we hate the sin, not the sinner. We hate lust, not the objects of our lust.
ReplyDeletehaha, I love the touch of the pictures, indeed. :)
