#108 - "Pornography Addiction - FIGHTING TO WIN, SO WHY WOULD SHE GIVE UP?!"

Published: Feb. 25, 2022, 2:24 a.m.

Taylor Jones shares with Karen Broadhead, Director of Mothers Who Know, her reasons for fighting her pornography addiction and why she does not give up. She knows healing is possible when we shine light on the value of reaching out for help, healing through connection, and remembering that our Father in Heaven and his Son, Jesus Christ, always want us and will never leave us.

\n

The hope in Taylor\u2019s voice and her pleasant, friendly nature are sure to make you rethink some of your perceptions about addiction. She is full of talent!  Her favorite animal is the pacific spiny lump suckerfish, she has fun interests/hobbies, she is not afraid of snakes, and lets them hug her, as she works on the education team at a fantastic aquarium.

\n

Taylor openly shares, \u201cI honestly thought it was impossible because I had been in the thick of it for seven years and I was like, there\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to be able to overcome this. This is going to plague me for the rest of my life.\u201d

\n

She shares that in Warrior Women of Light \u201cwe have each other\u2019s backs, it\u2019s not a competition where we race against each other. We race against the adversary. It\u2019s so nice to go to a place where you\u2019re all working on the same thing and there\u2019s no shame, no judgment about it. There\u2019s so much love and you\u2019re all there for each other.\u201d

\n

Taylor describes how she has learned how to actively fight against satan by using spiritual armor to discern him. One way the women actively fight in their weekly groups is to share their answers to these powerful questions.

\n

\u201cWhy are you fighting? Why don\u2019t you just give up?\u201d

\n

Here is Taylor\u2019s inspiring reply.

\n

\u201cI fight because I came too dang far to let satan do his gross, disgusting tactics on me!\u201d

\n

\u201cI fight because satan does not have a right to my thoughts or to my body or to my actions. The person that\u2019s in control of those things is me!"

\n

\u201cI fight because I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father, and I want to do what I can to make my Heavenly Father proud and also to return back to Him. I\u2019m not going to let satan ruin that!\u201d

\n

\u201cI fight for me. I fight for my future, and my future family!\u201d

\n

\u201cI fight for other people that are also fighting so that they can see that it can be done!\u201d

\n
