WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I reached out to Tim because of a message on he preached on sexual sin and addiction. He shared the effects of pornography and what acting out had on the brain. After having a one-on-one with Tim, I started to go through the process of recovery & healing. I have been able to quit watching pornography all together and move on from the bondage the sexual addiction holds on most men. As of today, I am sober 4 months and 3 weeks.”
