Addiction Resources

Addiction Resources

We want to live free from disordered addictions. To breath the free air is obtainable! Nonetheless, the plague of pornography continues in the culture. “Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God." (Mt 5:8) Purity of heart and mind are the aim of battling pornography, because once obtained by God's mercy and his grace to help our disciplines we will see God more and more clearly every day.


The following are resources to help fight the battle for purity and chastity for the sake of sexual freedom and health. These are the websites and other resources which offer healing through counseling, great hopeful books, and retreats. Please know that it takes a great desire to change, accountability, and good habits to become free. These are some great resources to delve into to begin the path to freedom. If you have related questions for me, do not hesitate to contact me. I am happy to help in any way. Hang in there and God bless you!
