Frankly Answered Questions - FAQs

I don't have anyone I can talk to about sexual addiction.

Q: I just wanted to comment about your special site on sexual addiction. This has been a problem for me for a long time. I see a new hope of release.

However I don't have anyone I can talk to about this. I wonder if you have any suggestions. In the meantime, please pray for me. It's gonna be a mighty battle.

A: I'm glad you have new hope! You've asked a great question that I don't have a great answer for. I know from the many emails that we receive that this is a topic that MANY Christian men struggle with. We formed a men's group in our church around this issue and discussed and encouraged and held one another accountable. We also broadened the focus of the group to Christian growth in many areas, so we didn't just talk about our struggles and failures. We built ourselves up in our relationship with Jesus.

Can you go to your pastor and talk about this subject with him? He probably knows of others with similar needs and perhaps he would be willing to contact them on your behalf about forming a group or getting fellowship.

On the Internet you may want to check out Christians in Recovery. You may get some help from people who are part of this web site.

Mark Laaser wrote an excellent book called "Faithful and True" and supposedly there have been Faithful and True groups that have sprung up around the country, but I can find no mention of them on the Internet. You might want to get the book and look for a contact number.

In the meantime, I will be praying for you and all of the other brave souls that are wrestling against pornography and sexual addiction. I've been there and I know that by God's grace, we can be healed!

Joy, peace, and strength to you in Christ,

Dennis Rupert, pastor
