Guest Briar, describes what it is like being a suicide witness survivor. Losing a loved one, particularly a boyfriend, who takes their own life is an incredibly traumatic and distressing experience that can leave a lasting impact on the person who witnessed it. Witnessing this tragic event may cause one to go through a range of emotions and reactions, each of which is a unique response to a profoundly distressing event. It's important to approach this topic with sensitivity and compassion, as there is no one-size-fits-all description for how someone might feel or react.

Being addicted to pornography, commonly referred to as a "porn addiction," is a condition where an individual exhibits a compulsive and unhealthy dependency on pornography. This addiction can manifest as an inability to control one's consumption of explicit sexual material, leading to negative consequences in various aspects of life, including relationships, work, and personal well-being. Emmanuel found himself trapped in the relentless grip of addiction to pornography. His life had spiraled into a dark abyss, where he spent countless hours consumed by explicit images and videos, neglecting his responsibilities, and damaging his relationships with family and friends. This addiction had a stranglehold on his mind and soul, leaving him feeling empty, ashamed, and disconnected from the world around him.

This man's story serves as a reminder that, with the help of a higher power and the support of a loving community, even the most profound and challenging addictions can be overcome
