Bible verse explains addiction cyclefrom @womp_tomp

Transcript

You know why so many dudes can't quit porn for, like, years at a time? And it's like most guys, by the way. Matthew twelve forty three says, when an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, I will return to the house I best, and when it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean, and put in order. Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the best. That is how it will be with this wicked generation. You are the worse. The unclean spirit is this lust, this demon of pornography. And what often happens is guys will try to quit. They'll say, I'm going to stop this vice, and then they get their house in order, and then they'll relapse, just like any kind of addiction. And the problem is that it's not good enough to just get rid of bad habits. You have to replace them with good habits, or else the vacuum, that void that you create that this thing filled in your life will eventually just be replaced by something worse. And oftentimes, people who relapse into things end up becoming worse than they were before. No instead of quitting something bad, you should work on becoming something better. And Saint Steps offers a good step by step accountability routine to help build those habits, which is why I actually promote them instead of gambling with wisdom from Aquinas, the Bible, other Catholic saints, which give you a reason to be better, a structure to be better, instead of just saying stop this bad thing. Instead, you should become holy. You should take steps to become as a saint. Anyway, Good bless and stop beating it.
