Advice Show 016 // Porn Addiction and Rough Relationships
Yo, Josh Shipp here with Advice Show Episode 016. Today I’m dropping advice on Zach and Carly. Zach wrote in with vague confessions of struggling with an unnamed problem (I think I know what he’s getting at, though), and Carly’s tired of dealing with her best friend playing emotional yo-yo with her on-again off-again boyfriend. Listen closely, my friends…
Zach, to recap: you’re not alone in this struggle. More importantly, you’ll never beat this thing on your own. Ask anyone who’s tried and they’ll tell you the same thing: you need accountability, community, and support. Again, check out x3watch.com. (Btw, I’m proud of you for trying to shake the habit. It’s worth the fight.) Carly, tell your friend what she needs to hear. Ask her some deep questions, give her your honest advice, then step aside until she makes her move.
That’s my advice…so, what’s yours? Insert your two cents in the comments section below.
Until next time,

P.S. Katie, looking sharp. Great to have you on the show. Everyone, if you have an embarrassing childhood photo, keep ‘em coming to josh@heyjosh.com.

The best site is Internet safety’s safeeyes, which
is nearly hack proof (you can’t uninstall it without a password). The key is having someone you are accountable to give the password to. Good luck! Through Christ, you can be delivered,the key question do you want to be delivered and willing to do all is needed to walk in that deliverance.
The best site is Internet safety’s safeeyes, which
is nearly hack proof (you can’t uninstall it without a password). The software daily updates to block new porn sites. Also you can submit sites to ban. Also, you can set timelimits. I have come 2 learn that my toughest time of temptation is the late night or early morning, so I setup safeyes to block Internet access between the hours of midnight and 9 am morning.The key is having someone you are accountable to give the password to. Good luck! Through Christ, you can be delivered,the key question do you want to be delivered and willing to do all is needed to walk in that deliverance.
I forgot to add with this software it will send your friend or someone who is holding you accountable with updates of sites you are visiting. If you reach a threshold it will let them know. I believe they can get a txt message alert.This in itself can help, especially having know what you are looking at.
Lastly, they have a mobile version!
FYI: I don’t work for safeeyes, I simply want to help youth who want to be delivered!
You’ll never “beat this thing” on your own. C’mon Josh… word choice!
