Women Also Struggle With Porn
According to our anonymous surveys of over 1,000 young women at our workshops, 49% use pornography on a regular basis. We know that women struggle, but it's always heartbreaking to meet them and hear their stories.We've heard countless testimonies just like the one below from women who feel completely alone in their journey.

Giving Up Porn for My Future Marriage
Porn use for me was always linked with masturbation. The impact on my life was terrible. Growing up with a religious background where purity was cherished, I felt like trash after every session. The more and more I failed at trying to quit, the more and more helpless and defeated I felt. I was not in integrity with myself or my beliefs and because of that, I hated myself.
How I Broke Free From Porn—NOT Alone

Being surrounded by others who are being intentional in their actions and are supportive is the best way to overcome any challenge.

I started using pornography when I was 15 years old. Because of pornography, I had a lot of problems, but the biggest problem for me was the fact I couldn't talk and pray to God honestly. Every time I prayed, I felt so ashamed.
Expect Porn Recovery to Be a Lifestyle
People who lose weight and keep it off say that temporary diets don’t work. They had to set up a new way of life, full of new routines, new pleasures and new preferences. Sometimes even making new friends and associates is necessary if you really want to change your life.
Sexual Integrity Applied in a Disintegrating World
The term "Sexual Integrity" sounds good, noble and upright. But many psychologists, often thinking in fuzzy terms, equate integrity only with individualistic values and honesty. They'll tell you that you have sexual integrity as long as you're being honest about your sexual likes and dislikes.
