 Our guest contributor Russ Beck wrote his article “Overcoming Pornography.” He wrote a prior article on the subject entitled “Something Wicked This Way Comes,” and now he is trying to point out ways to overcome this vice. He comments: “Have you ever tried to lose weight? I know that when I decide to lose a few pounds, I immediately start to fixate upon food. The moment I decide to force my will and overcome eating, I find I can think of nothing else.” He compares this with the first stages of dealing with an addiction, and then he goes on to tell us how to overcome it. Russ blogs at On the Couch, he’s also a licensed, professional counselor with a Master's degree from the University of Wyoming.
