Three Apps to Break a Porn Addiction

Share This article

Years ago, getting a hold of pornography wasn't that easy. People would secretly purchase a dirty magazine or obtain a video from the wrong part of town. Since the digital revolution, that dirty little secret has become a global business and community.

People have lost jobs, marriages and their lives to this industry, so we want to turn the focus toward solutions. Here are three ways to break the addiction and gain freedom.
 
Covenant Eyes software not only filters content, it monitors each website and search term used.  It then sends a detailed automated report to an accountability partner,so as users venture into the gray areas, it allows for an ongoing conversation on how to adjust behavior.

Another great app we found is called Victory. It's designed to help users identify triggers on a daily basis, eliminating weak spots in behavior. In order to visually see your progress, Victory includes a calendar to track success and setbacks. There is also an option to notify accountability partners with one click if you are feeling weak.

No person is an island and fighting addiction is no different. Organizations like God Over Porn and Fight the New Drug center around community. They offer free online support groups, workshops and resources to help you stay plugged in and informed through the fight.

 
Remember, victories happen one day at time by the decisions we make. The important thing is, Victory will be won.
