Everyone benefits from a friendly reminder. It helps us stay focused on our goals. The person who does the reminding benefits as well. They become more aware of the value of discipline and integrity in their own lives.

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. But you are NOT alone. We are all struggling together to live a High Noon life.

The second reason I wanted to write this blog is that I believe the High Noon lifestyle is infectious. There have been so many who have come to me and stepped up, to be honest about their struggle about pornography, and through those people sharing it allowed the space for me to be honest. I want to give that same gift to the people in this movement and beyond.

Traditionally, parents find that talking with children about sex is one of the most difficult things they have to do. Parents struggle to know what to say and when to say it. In today’s culture, it’s even more difficult because our children could be exposed to porn before we’ve even thought about discussing sex with them.

On the journey towards sexual integrity and creating a life that is free from the shackles of destructive habits, it is extremely important that we become more aware of how our choices deeply impact those around us and the world at large.

After all the work I've done until now; installing Covenant Eyes, attending High Noon's program, confessing, I've gone without watching any porn for more than one year. During that time, there were moments of stress and times when I was all alone, but I've been able to manage my emotions until today.

Internet porn is a lot more aggressive than magazine publications of the past. Not only is it available for free anywhere, all the time, regardless of age; but the porn industry actually targets youth. They know what all parents should know; “get them young and you’ve got them hooked”.

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.

Marriage is such an intense relationship. We come into it with expectations based on all the influences of our family life and the culture we grew up in. Often we're not completely aware of how those influences have created emotional patterns and habits. Add to that the differences between men and women and you've got the set up for misunderstanding and conflict.

What made the difference for me was that I was surrounded by others who wanted the same things I wanted. We all wanted to overcome this struggle and were serious about being intentional through the course. Being surrounded by others who are being intentional in their actions and are supportive is the best way to overcome any challenge.

Would you like to help a friend who’s struggling, but you don’t know how? Sometimes it’s hard to know what to say. That’s why John Williams has put together this short presentation.

A popular answer is, “When a person’s words and actions align.” You can even go a layer deeper and say, “When a person’s thoughts and actions align.”

Change can be difficult. We're constantly sabotaged by powerful feelings that send us running back to our habits. Habits feel safe and comforting, completely the opposite of the feelings that we're running from.

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.

Part of recovery from a porn habit is to gain a better understanding of a healthy sexual relationship. However, if you’re single it’s best to think as little about sex as possible while you’re recovering from a porn habit. Married couples should do some research on the subject of lovemaking.

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.

Spouses are not independent beings sharing a living space. If there’s something on your mind, your spouse will know. Even if you walk in the door with a smile, if you’re feeling troubled or upset, your spouse will pick up on this. You don’t just share a bed and body parts, sexual intimacy creates an emotional sensitivity to each other.

Loneliness is a common trigger for porn use, but a porn habit can also cause you to disconnect from the people who love you the most. So, it’s a vicious cycle, after the temporary comfort porn gives, you’ll end up feeling lonelier in the long run.

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.
