Higher Power and porn
Hello Everybody,
In my recovery, I have occasionally looked at pornography to satisfy lustful urges. My life is not consumed with thoughts of lust towards woman, but I feel there is something "wrong" about it.
It is my understanding that the church frowns about upon looking on pornography, but I am not a Christian and choose not to follow Christianity. After I watch a pornography, I feel that it releases some stress, but brings additional stress because
My main concern is the concept of that people in recovery should engage in pure thoughts and not have lustful thoughts towards the opposite sex. It does not matter whether Christianity is the true religion, but rather that lust as a lustful thoughts cuts us out with making conscious contact with our high power.
The question is that whether I should treat pornography and lust in general, like the church does and call it sin or immoral even though I do not believe in Christianity. Should I try to obtain to purity of the soul in order for me to remain sober?
Or is looking for pornography on occassion is okay as long you do not develop an addiction about it?
