90 Days to Wholeness: A Porn Addiction Recovery Devotional for WomenSample

Living a double life is exhausting and it’s a fleeting thing. If not today or tomorrow, we will slip up and get caught. It’s only inevitable. The slip up is either because of arrogance in believing we’ll never be caught, or our addiction has become so severe that we ignore looming consequences. But getting caught is only a matter of time because sin has a way of catching up with us.

For those of us who keep our struggles a secret from the outside world, getting caught is what we fear the most—and for varying reasons. This is unfortunate in that really, the most freeing thing addicts can do is come clean with the truth on their own.

Getting caught is not an act of confession. Getting caught is actually the difficult way out and usually bears with it a whole different set of conflict and consequences—and most always leads to the addict making up more excuses—further burying themselves and those around them in deception.
