Addiction
Perhaps your addiction is to alcohol, drugs, compulsive overeating, sex, pornography, gambling, or something else. Maybe you've been letting the addiction run your life for a while now. Does everything you do revolve around the next hit, the next binge, the next drink, the next adrenaline rush? Sometimes addictions can be quite embarrassing. Most people do their best to hide their addiction, hide the effects of it, and hide the pain that comes from it.
Chances are if you know you are struggling with an addiction, you are pretty tired. Tired of the amount of energy and money you are spending to keep up with it. Tired of the double life that comes with being one person around the people you love, and another person to yourself. heartsupport believes that this is the perfect time to stop living that double life and open up and talk to someone about the addiction that is running your life. Start by being your true self to one person today.

Porn: I want this posion gone
Matt (16), Mt. Pleasent, Michigan
hello my name is matt and i think that i am addicted to porn. I don't live my life around it. But I can't stop myself looking at it. I always thought i had control of my life and the things that i did in it. However, i feel like that if i don't get help for this that I will explode. It is like a posion that i can't get out of me. I am a christian and i recently went to CIY: MOVE where i heard about heart support and the help it offers. I can't get through this on my own but i can't tell my friends or my parents. I almost told my youth minister at CIY but i didn't. I have recently made the decision to go into the church myself but i don't think that i can if i don't get this poison out of me. I am not really sure how to stop my self but i am going to change my restrictions on my computer and TV. I don't know how i let myself fall onto this slippery slop of addiction. I just hope and pray that i can beat this.
