My friend Tom Muench, married father of three, bravely shares his nearly two decade journey with pornography and his journey with same-sex attraction.   Tom reached out to me with the impression that more people need to hear stories of those still trying to solve this challenge to give them hope and perspective.   Here is part of his e-mail:   “My object for reaching out is not to say that recovery isn't possible but to share in the pain of those who are still struggling despite their efforts. I've listened to your podcast hoping to hear from someone that is still struggling. At times in my pain I've felt frustrated that the only people we seem to hear from are those who have had a story to tell of healing. It's amazing to hear of other's stories of healing and I need that but I also need to hear from someone who is willing to go into the pain I'm feeling right now. Then it hit me. Maybe I will have to be that person. When prompted to reach out I kept thinking that maybe one day when I'm "clean" again or "sober" for so long then I will contact Richard, THEN I will have a story to tell. I have a story to share now.” Tom’s pornography has cost him jobs, temple attendance and nearly his marriage.   He has been close to suicide.   Yet, Tom bravely moved forward trying his best to solve his addiction – which is an ongoing battle. Tom talks about feeling God’s love, hope and influence now.   How support groups, a wonderful wife and others are helping him.  If you are in the ‘middle of the battle’ and need to hear hope from someone else on the same road, please listen to Tom’s podcast.   He has a very tender and good heart, a love of God, a deep commitment to his marriage and the Church and a desire to help others.  Since he knows this road, he has great insights to help others.You are a great man Tom.  Honored to meet you.   You are going to put this behind you.   And you are helping a lot of others along the way.
