Madi Prewett, a former contestant on The Bachelor, has spoken out about her struggles with porn and masturbation addiction, revealing that she has been "free" from the addiction for 10 years.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Stay True, Prewett shared that her addiction began in middle school when she was introduced to sexual content through music and TV shows. She explained that her curiosity led to a fascination with porn and masturbation, which eventually took over her life.
"This continued for a long time, and then this bled into relationships," Prewett said. "I pushed so many boundaries physically. I was letting the enemy run my life with living in secrecy and living in isolation."
Prewett, 29, credits her religious upbringing and community for helping her overcome her addiction. "Confessing to God and confessing to other believers" is what "set me free from the addiction to sexual sin," she said.
She recalled feeling immediate freedom after confessing her struggles to others. "As soon as I said the thing that I was so scared to say, I immediately felt free," Prewett shared. "Immediately, something shifted. Something happened when I spoke what was in the dark, and I brought it into the light."
Prewett's journey to overcoming her addiction serves as a testament to the power of vulnerability and community. Her courage in sharing her story may inspire others to do the same, and seek help for their own struggles.
