You can stop Pornogrphic Addiction

She is 18 years old, with an independent nature and sometimes shy persona. She grew up all her life in the church. When the newly formed contemporary worship team invited her to play the drums, she finally found her place in the church. Life was pretty good, but she felt empty.

Later in high school the emptiness grew and my curiosity grew to find something, anything to satisfy me. First Nneoma turned to petty things, like stealing cigarettes from her abusive uncle. But that wasn't strong enough to distract her from life and fill that emptiness.
She wouldn't give up that easily. As strong as steel and she will get what she want. As a computer geek, She could access a lot of things that the average person would have no clue about how to do. She found what she wanted, and she got what she wanted. Pornography.

Before you knew it, she was addicted. This disease was not a replacement for sex in my life... in fact, she was a virgin and still am. It was simply something to fill up the emptiness she felt in my life. When she was sad, when she had a bad day, she could simply go into my room, shut the doors, and feel better again. And it was free. It was harmless. No one would know. Every time she turned to the internet, what she lusted after would eventually not be enough. Like drug addicts going after harder and harder drugs, she had to go after harder sources of fulfillment. It never ended until God stepped in.

Nneoma don't really know when, or why, or how (besides the much-needed intervention of God), but one day she came to the sudden realization about how screwed up her life was. Her father used to smoke, and he quit smoking COLD. No patches, no gradual cut down. That's what she knew she had to do. She discovered that God was the only thing that could heal my emptiness. She deleted EVERYTHING off my computer. All the web pages, all the videos, all the passwords, everything that would lead her back down the path that had labeled her a disgusting person. Harmless curiosity so easily turned to addiction.

If you were Nneoma what will you do? Change or?
