Fantastic article by Craig Frogley, my former Seminary and Institute Director!

Fantastic explanation of the nuts and bolts of sin, addiction, and especially the difficult but attainable recovery. I'm so glad he didn't stop with the simplistic call to letting the Savior and His atonement heal us. It's true, but this explains so clearly HOW. I especially appreciate the detailed explanation of bonding and how it works, but not only with pornography. It should be applied to dabbling in unmarried sexual liaisons and how those damage future relationships. Our Father in Heaven always has solid reasons for commandments that benefit us if we love Him enough to obey.

The most serious battle with sin I ever faced had nothing to do with this. I simply had never had the commandment properly explained to me. Once I read the right talk I never had an issue with it again.

Thanks for describing such a complex subject is so easy to understand, simple terms.

Thank you, Craig, for this insightful and powerful article. It has made me view my conditions and my struggles in a very different light. It has also made me view my battle with cancer, which caused me to change my diet to a Word of Wisdom diet (whole foods, plant-based) as a greater blessing than I had felt before.

We are not sinners because we sin, we sin because we are sinners.

What a great essay. We are in charge of the Addiction Recovery Program in our Stake and I believe this article will become a must read for everyone in the program. Thanks Meridian for the wonderful insights you bring into our everyday lives.

The first step to win a war consists in getting to know one's Adversary and its tactics. Years ago, the U.S. Dept. of Defense was able to seize a Russian MIG Jet Fighter, test it in the Air and take it apart, in order to detect its respective strengths and vulnerabilities.
Brother Frogley just did take apart the "spiritual MIG" that is threatening us - especially our youth - in those Latter-Days. Indeed,
old-fashioned Pep-Talks from the part of Priesthood Leaders won't do more to win that war than bow and arrow when being faced with a nuclear attack.
