For those of you living in the United States, today is election day. Millions of us will go to the polls and make a decision as to who should be our next senator, mayor, or dogcatcher. These decisions matter.
There are other decisions that matter. Let me give you my top ten list of great decisions you can make as an addict.
- Recognize you have a problem.
- Admit your current strategy isn’t working.
- Ask God for a broken heart.
- Call a therapist.
- Get to a meeting.
- Find a recovery program. (I recommend my 90-Day Program.)
- Cut off toxic relationships.
- Protect your devices.
- Prepare a therapeutic disclosure.
- Become accountable.
Recovery Step: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God” (James 1:5). Then, once you know what to do, do what you know.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
