The Purity Project of OKC

Another very powerful man has fallen from power into abject humiliation.  For the past several days, as the headlines about Governor Eliot Spitzer continue to grab our attention, I have noticed any number of similarities between his life, my life, and the lives of those I know who suffer from sexual compulsions and addictions.  Spitzer’s is being railed upon from almost every corner, and perhaps rightfully so, for his hypocrisy and immoral behavior. Stories involving sex grab headlines and the press has not disappointed us.  However, unlike so many public figures and people in the press, I’m not going to be one to throw the first stone.  Some of us have been there and we know the pain that comes when our lives suddenly crash about us.  Is Eliot Spitzer a sexual addict?  I believe so and I’ll give a few reasons why.

At some point in our lives, we need to ask ourselves a very important question: “Must I accept that I am whatever I am or is it possible for me to change?” Another way of asking this question is: “Can we really change who we are?”

I find that we don’t like to be pinned down with this question. The convenient answer is to say, “That depends.” Most of us accept the common opinion that there are some things in our lives that can be changed and others that cannot. But I see this answer as a convenient cop out that robs us of our ability to make choices for positive transformation. If we believe that change isn’t possible, we won’t try. If we believe that we can change, we will feel compelled to take action. As long as we allow ourselves to be confused about what can and cannot be changed in our lives, we’ll live dead-ended, stalemated lives where we wonder if the latest challenges we face is something that we should even invest our energies to change or not. Here is what we in the Purity Project believe: With God’s help, there is nothing in your life that cannot be changed; but, some things can be changed faster than others. (Read on …)

1-877-5-Purity (877-578-7489)

We hope you’ll remember this toll free number. It’s the number to call when you decide that you are serious about doing something about your porn habit or seeking help for your sexual addiction. If you’ve become something you don’t like–it’s time to do something about it by calling this number! (Read on …)

I read in the paper about the husband of a co-worker who is going to prison for at least six years. His crime was a natural extension of his long time addiction to pornography. He crossed a legal boundary and used concealed television cameras to spy on young girls. The man was a deacon at a local church. He had a respectable job, a lovely wife and beautiful children. His wife is devastated. His family is torn apart. To someone who doesn’t have a problem with sexual addiction, this man’s unlawful behavior is not only disguisting but totally incomprehensable. They ask, “How did somebody like that get to where he is today?” To those of us who suffer from sexual addictions and compulsive behaviors, we know that there for the grace of God, go I. (Read on …)

There is an old saying that where the attention goes the energy flows. It’s a way of saying that what we do is based in what we think. As a man thinketh, so is he. The same is also true about the mind and pornography. There is a very real body-mind connection as it relates to pornography and pornography addiction. The more we constantly pour pornographic images into our minds, the more poison we add to our lives. At first it is hardly noticeable; but in time, we will witness the mind deadening and life draining outcomes in our lives. Pornography is a dead end. The more we drink in the images, the sicker we become. The sicker we become, the more our lives don’t work. The more our lives don’t work, the more destruction and chaos we leave in our wake. At some point, if we don’t stop poisoning our minds, we will self-destruct. (Read on …)
