Episode notes
First Exposure That Started The Cycle
- Sean first saw pornography around age 13 and felt immediately hooked, which launched a 13–14 year struggle.
- He describes being unable to stop despite knowing it was wrong and expecting a mission or marriage to cure him.
Physical Sobriety Isn't True Healing
- Sean distinguishes physical sobriety from mental sobriety: absence of access isn't the same as healed motives.
- He realized a mission removed access but didn't address underlying reasons he used pornography.
Paralyzing Spiritual Encounter
- Sean felt a terrifying, negative presence in a house late at night and froze instead of using priesthood power or prayer.
- That event triggered anger and a gradual withdrawal from church practices over the following years.
