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

Remember the story of the woman with the issue of blood? We first read from Luke, but now we see Mark’s account of what happened. When Jesus asked the crowd who it was that touched Him, she was reluctant to reveal it was she. I believe her reluctance came from a place of shame about revealing the truth about her disease, more than it was about her embarrassment about touching Him.

Relating to her story is not too difficult since, as addicts, we’ve all suffered from something we’ve felt ashamed of and felt like was incurable. Sharing our story is when we combine all of the steps together and begin to share where we came from to where we are today. In other words, share our journey from a state of being wounded to one of healing.

Have you ever been in a situation where you could have shared your story, but were too embarrassed to say the words? Is it possible that your current situation would be different if you had shared then?
