The temptation from Internet pornography is only a mouse-click away. Pornography, like alcoholism, isn't a problem that gets better with time if left untreated. Pornography's silent addiction has a corrosive effect upon one's spiritual life and eventually affects one's marriage, children, and finances. The 12 steps outlined in this booklet will not only help anyone overcome an addiction to pornography, but are also useful in preventing an addiction. This booklet should be read by all men desiring sexual purity.
