Young Christian Man's Apology to Porn Stars

Thanks to Brushfires Foundation (a ministry that deals with sexual brokenness), I came across this moving letter from a young man recovering from addiction to pornography. As someone who found freedom from this sin (and is still overcoming it) after many years of struggle, I can relate and empathize with him. I could have written the letter myself but this man articulated best every word that is already in my heart. Brushfires Foundation's introduction below is followed by a link to “My apology to p+rn stars.” It's my personal letter too.

We were recently contacted by a young man grieving over his past p+rnography use. He explained that he is currently involved in a 12-step recovery group and when he came to step nine he knew what he needed to do.

Step 9 reads: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
This man is not able to make direct amends in this case, but wanted this letter published as his sincere attempt to do so and to highlight for others the harm and suffering he knows he caused. He shared that he wept bitterly when he wrote the letter. Since then, reflecting on it and sharing it with others has helped to reduce the lust that had gotten control of him. Thanks be to God.
He desires that this letter be shared widely. I invite you to link to it and share it with your networks.

My apology to porn stars.
