Let’s talk about shame-free commitment. Whether your goal is to quit viewing porn completely, view it a couple of times a week, or heal your sexual shame, the why behind it is an essential component of your journey to quitting porn.
Sin is a term that’s historically been connected to salvation and a determinant in whether we’re worthy of God’s love. It’s no surprise, then, that we operate from a place of fear and shame around our perceived sins. However, if we know that sin is associated with shame and, at the same time, we don’t want to get rid of the idea that there is good and bad, what’s the solution?
While there are lots of people out there bragging about losing weight or breaking other habits that aren’t serving them, there aren’t many people sharing their success with quitting pornography. This fosters a belief that quitting porn is impossible, or that you have to be stuck with this habit forever, and this is just not true.
I received a question in the Overcome Pornography for Good program this week during one of our coaching sessions. Someone asked, “I don’t know what I’m buffering from. Is it possible that this can just be a habit and not just a buffer every time?" And my answer was yes.
