He was a 40-something, church-going man. He'd married his college sweetheart, got the decent job with the stable company in the big city. Then he bought the new tract home in the leafy suburbs to raise his growing family in. He was living the American dream!
And it was turning into a nightmare!
A nightmare of slow torture, like having his blood drained from his body, less than one pint a day, but he felt himself dying, slowly dying on the inside, drip by drip.
Nothing touched his heart anymore. Nothing got him excited anymore. Nothing got his blood boiling anymore. Except. . .
A moment to himself.
Then more and more moments to himself. Moments all by himself. Moments he couldn’t share with anyone else, wouldn’t share with anyone else.
What began as single, solitary moments of pleasure were growing into hours and hours of wasted time, mutating desires demanding more and more and more of his soul!
Dealing with the Dragon is the story of Frank Everyman. A normal, decent, kind, caring husband and father totally committed to his day to day responsibilities of hearth and home, church and community. Who nevertheless is being slowly drained of all energy, all joy, all enthusiasm for life and he doesn’t know why or how to stop it.
He only knows what still gets his motor running each and every time he clicks the link!
It started out simple enough. A few magazines bought at a store far away from his home, his wife, his family. Materials quickly thrown away after serving their purpose. But the dragon of pornography, once birthed in the soul, doesn’t stay a pup for long and Frank’s dragon was growing with each passing week.
First magazines (so old school), then video arcades in sleazy stores. Then internet porn at home, at night, when everyone else was asleep. Then at work, after hours while working late. Then furtive views during the day with the chance of discovery a real possibility -- with life-shattering consequences if he is caught.
Yet he can’t stop himself. Every resolution is broken within hours of being made. Every promise shattered. Finally, he begins to consider the possibility. Am I. . . Addicted? Addicted to porn.
He feels addicted. Out of control. Ashamed.
Are you like Frank? Is your life with porn slowly but inexorably spinning out of control? Do you want to regain control?
Do you need to regain control?
Then follow Frank on his journey from porn prisoner to porn freedom. Walk with him as he struggles to come to grips with the painful emotions buried under years of porn abuse. Follow his lead as he learns from his porn coach the tools, tricks and techniques that slowly gain for him complete victory over his porn dragon.
Frank’s victory can be your victory.
