Oh, you thought it was Super Bowl Sunday. And you're right. But this might be more interesting. Certainly as interesting.
Sex addictions are varied, but no question, pornography addiction takes over people's lives. It's not that hard to find a support group, depending upon where you live, but it is hard, sometimes, to connect with people and to commit. And the initial fear of humiliation keeps so many people away.
Sex Addicts Anonymous, that would be one group. Sex and Love Addictions would be another.
Because of the incredible disruption of an addiction, because needing to get on line, for example, to go there, to see a video, a picture, whatever it takes to satisfy the obsession, many people are starting to say No. People are trying to give it up, but it's hard.
Luckily we have leaders, heroes, really. NFL stars.
Take a look at this video sponsored by XXXchurch. If NFL stars can make the break, then finally, finally, it's cool to disavow pornography, to see it for what it is, degrading, humiliating, distracting, and like any addiction, an obsession that threatens a person's success in life and surely, intimate relationships.

That's the teaser. You'll be able to see the whole video on Sunday at PornSunday.
