“I became sexually active and explored teenage pornography… I remained in the escort business and also worked in a whorehouse. Many times family and friends would lovingly try to tell me that I needed to change, but I wouldn’t hear of it... I felt that I was never loved. I first filled that love with the affirmation of drugs, and then I filled that void with the affirmation of other men.”
Eddie Roman
“I'd stopped having sex, but I hadn't stopped lusting after girls, or fantasizing. I figured that if I set my mind to it, I could probably (maybe & hopefully) hold out from having sex until I got married. This was a possibility. But I knew that there was no possible way on this planet that I was going to stop fantasizing, or looking at and lusting after beautiful women. No way.”
Darrell Anderson
“In the world of prostitution, and pornography it is easy to hide your fears and doubts. When people first get into the world of pornography and illicit sex, it is exciting… When sexual encounters with single women were no longer satisfying, I turned to married women.”
Paul
“The truth about my situation was that I had been building a stronghold for sexual sin for many years by looking at porn, fantasizing and masturbating. This stronghold had become virtually invincible.”
Bobby Jack
“I committed adultery and lived a life of secrecy. Keeping two partners on the hook at once. I was filled with anger and envy. I wanted to live a life that I dictated and that I deserved. By my early twenties my life was on the path of total and utter destruction.”
Lisa Walker
“I found myself pregnant. I didn’t want the biological father around me or my unborn child so I returned to Georgia to my grandmother’s and from there to a home for unwed mothers… My greatest desire in life is to let others know that they can also rise above any situation and that there is only true hope, true healing and true forgiveness through Jesus Christ.”
Andrea Do Santos
“I had not really learned from my past mistakes. Here I was ... seven years from my first break down, and I was addicted to drugs once again -- had people using my home as a party house -- was sexually promiscuous -- practicing in the occult and suffering from depression/suicidal thoughts/anxiety. Within ... I was dead, empty and broken.“
Michelle Liga
“But I still could not get away from premarital sex with my boyfriend. So even though I was in church I was still sinning in a big way, there was no way I could be close to God. Having premarital sex with my boyfriend just got in the way. Then I made the biggest mistake in my life…”
Dennis Minner
“It seemed that every time I drank I was always able to find a girl at party or club that wanted to have sex so this caused me to drink more. This became my new hobby in a sense… years I decided to do, drink and have sex as much as I could. I thought, the more I did all this the more happy I would become.”
Joe Winterman
“I realized that the temptations of success were greater than what I was able to handle. I was wearing nice suits to work, driving a classic Mercedes, and the women in Europe are a lot less moral that American women.”
Shanon Elisha
“I was under the delusion that marriage and having a man was the magic cure for my emptiness -- I didn't believe that Jesus was the cure to the void in my soul. I was like a glutton, an addict looking for men to fulfill me. I took as much as I could get both emotionally and physically.”
Mary R
“I finally gave in and tried pot in September 2001. Smoked it for three months...if I wasn't high, I didn't want to be alive...until I slept with someone I hated.”
Linda Carter
”It was at this time that I had my first sexual encounter with a woman. She seemed to be everything I wanted in a man, but I found it instead in a woman.”
Corey Miller
“Life to me became meaningless and no amount of religion, narcotics and alcohol, or sexual promiscuity solved the problem.”
John Clayton
“Please listen to me and profit by what I am saying. You can try every conceivable thing that this world has to offer. You can try sex, drugs, alcohol, stealing, and all kinds of things in a desperate attempt to find happiness. I can testify from experience that you may find pleasure, but you will not find happiness.”
Debra McFarland
“I took a barmaid job and began to grow hard. I swore and didn’t care. I hurt people and didn’t care. I used men and found pleasure in it – I felt power in it.”
Star Burch
“When I turned thirteen, an innocent desire to have a friendship with a teacher turned into an obsession. This obsession took two years after for me to finally get deliverance. Some days even now, I get the shakes just thinking about it.”
Brenda Helzer
“So let me start at the beginning, when I was 15, and I became pregnant with my now 19-yr-old daughter.”
Rajjae Lawrence (1)
“My younger sister was pregnant at 19yrs old… Praise God and thank Jesus for being our provider and for loving my sister even though she had a child out of wedlock. Forgiveness is real.”
Christina Zakrzewski
“I lived in the constant cycle of sowing and reaping a bad crop. I became an unwed mother at the age of 19 and was stuck in a very abusive relationship.”
Dusty Donnay
“Only thing I cared about was weed and sex… There was a gal who fancied herself a witch in L.A. So if I was into trying the witchin or “wiccin” way, I could have my way with a wiccin babe.”
Donna Kazenske
“…my life was a mess. I was looking for help in all the wrong places. I tried everything! Nothing filled the empty place that I had in my life. I tried sex. I tried the drug scene. I even became an alcoholic trying to fit in with my so called ‘friends’.”
Steve Ridenour
“With all of the money came the opportunity to do everything I shouldn't. I started chasing women, excessive spending, and drugs, particularly cocaine.”
Paul Qureshi
“I lost all sense of right and wrong, as I plunged into a web of lust, perversion, drunkenness, drugs and pornography.”
Kevin Richard
“I had some good times there I learned so much. Since then I have overcome alcohol, drugs, sexual sin, and have been healed of some bad memories.”
Terry Huneke (2)
”I’ll never forget one time I was driving to the video store to rent an x-rated video and all the way there I was telling myself that I will not do this!... But I did it anyway.”
Jody Hall
“He became a father at 16 and was addicted to crack cocaine by the time he was 17 years old.”
Olia (1)
“He condemned my pride and my disobedience and my sexual impurity. On June 12, 2004, I accepted Jesus as my Savior and Lord and asked Him to forgive all my sins…”
Stan Borley
“As my drinking and drugging increased what little moral integrity I had left and my fear of the law decreased. Less than a year after my first toke, I quit my job, moved to Winnipeg and slipped into the sex, drugs and rock and roll scene of the early seventies…”
Healing the Thorn
“My thoughts turned into sexual fantasies for other attractive boys and sometimes I was led to masturbate.”
Ruth Axtell Morren (1)
“…a young woman who discovered she could talk to boys if she drank enough. Thus began a journey of looking for love in all the wrong places—or more accurately, believing all those things young men will say when all they are really interested in is a one-night stand.”
Dennis Rideout
“Most of my youth had been invested in vain pursuits of one kind or another in an attempt to locate an identity I could call my own. Most kids go through that. The usual sexual mis-behavior of a teen-ager with raging hormonal and explosive chemical changes…”
Sam Vandervalk
“I still went to the strip clubs and I still went out to the bars and got drunk on Saturday nights.’
Janis Damask
“I was one of two siblings who graduated from high school but since I had no direction in my life I met a boy and became pregnant.”
Miriam Passmore
“That struggle within became a weapon for the enemy to use to deceive Miriam into taking on the role of a man in a lesbian relationship. She lived with the consequences of that act for over 20 years as a male impersonator.”
Abdelrahman
“So, I kept carrying on with my life, and because I had inherited from my father a good fortune, I was able to do a lot of wicked things - wasting money on sex, alcohol, drugs, whatever I could find for pleasure.”
