Richard emails: Hi Luke<\/p>\n
I just thought I’d let you know that I have been a suffering porn
\naddict who developed a fascination for your porn blogs for many years.
\nI am based in the UK. I liked your site because (a) you have a gift
\nfor writing and (b) you seemed to be genuinely wrestling with your
\nconscience, which mirrored my own struggles, and that you really
\nwanted to help people. However, you kept slipping back into the
\nclutches of the deadly porn industry that was ruining you (and me).<\/p>\n
I recently returned to Anglicanism (mainstream Protestantism here in
\nthe UK) at the age of 37 and have discovered, after going cold turkey
\non porn, that my relationship with women has been ruined by my
\nobsession with pornography. Even though I have never paid for internet
\nporn in my life, preferring to read about it, look at free previews
\nand then pirated tube sites in recent years, I feel that the implicit
\nmisogyny has harmed me massively.<\/p>\n
I had a mini-relapse today by looking at www.lukeisback.com, which I enjoyed your beard-shaving video<\/a>. You seem a lot happier You mention in your article here<\/a> that there are various 12 step sex addiction groups. May I ask which one you chose? I have considered joining one myself, although probably an “accountability partner” at my local church (which a friend is organising for me) will be the permanent solution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Richard emails: Hi Luke I just thought I’d let you know that I have been a suffering porn addict who developed a fascination for your porn blogs for many years.

\nwent against my new “zero tolerance” attitude to pornography. But on a positive side, it was great to find the interview<\/a> with you and read about your progress in life.<\/p>\n
\nthan I have seen you in the past. I remember a ghastly video a few
\nyears ago showing you living in a garage (is my memory serving me
\ncorrectly?), taking lots of medication. It’s great to see you with a
\nsense of a higher purpose and enjoying membership of a benevolent
\ncommunity. I also have those two benefits.<\/p>\n
