So proud to be a part of #RepTheMovement as I support @fightthenewdrug in #NoPornovember. https://fightthenewdrug.org/
After my discovery I was introduced to the brainheartworld.org 3 part series on how pornography changes the brain, heart and has skewed the world we live in everyday.
I was stunned to learn how viewing porn literally alters the brain and the way we reward ourselves and think. It helped me fully comprehend how porn really is and can be an addiction.
Understanding and seeing “the heart” series shook me to the core as I completely related with how porn had emotionally disconnected my partner to me and others for years. That as I made daily efforts to emotionally connect with him he was proactively making choices that emotionally disconnected himself to everyone around him, especially me.
The most heart breaking was “the world” section. After I found his work phone I became knowledgeable about the dark world mainly fueled by pornography. I was scared as a mom the easy access available to the dark world within minutes of contact. I hurt for those that are involved and for the young girls that I wanted to know what their story was and why they ended where they did? It was very confusing as I was angry this was so out in the open and easy to find. And that people are so accessible and the demand high enough it exists. Yet I felt sorrow, compassion and literally sick to my stomach that these girls met their crossroads in their life and it had ended them where they were. They have value, why can’t they see it?!
As I have seen the negative effects of pornography in my own life and become the example of how that lead to my divorce, I have become passionate about the fight. We need to protect our children and even each other as adults. We need to become more self disciplined and educated. We are in a fight against the adversary to ruin one of Gods greatest gifts he gave us…to love!!!
I encourage everyone to educate yourself on how #pornkillslove and to go to fightthenewdrug.org to learn ways to protect everyone you love, including yourself. Find someone to genuinely LOVE today with all your heart and mind.
