141. Frank Rich - Breaking Free from Porn: A 20-Year Battle and Redemption Story

In this powerful episode of the Unhooked Podcast, I interview Coach Frank Rich, he shares the raw truth behind his 20-year struggle with porn addiction—and what finally helped him break free. From destroying the laptop he secretly used to watch porn, to opening up about his addiction for the first time, Frank walks us through the turning points that changed his life.

We talk about the importance of telling the truth (even when it’s terrifying), building identity through fitness, and why real recovery starts with vision, discipline, and deep connection. If you've ever struggled in silence or felt like lasting recovery isn’t possible, this conversation will change you.

Whether you're battling shame, stuck in relapse cycles, or trying to support someone who is—this is for you.
