Guilt was constant. Shame was heavy. I wanted to stop but I couldn't. I didn't want to admit I was losing control. ​ I prayed and asked God to take it away. He didn't. I read my Bible. I prayed more. I tried accountability. Nothing stuck. I could hold it together for a while, but it was only a matter of time. ​ Lust would come back. Temptation would win. ​ I stopped trusting myself. I knew freedom had to be possible. I believed God could do it. I just had no idea how it was actually going to happen. But that's changed. Not overnight. Not by accident. I found a path that actually worked. Not because it was easy. Because it was real.
