Jake's Personal Porn Recovery Story
- Jake Kastleman struggled with pornography addiction for about 10 years, starting at age 13.
- He took five years of continuous work involving mental, psychological, and spiritual effort to begin losing the need for that addiction.
Distinction: Healthy Desire vs Addiction
- Sexual attraction and healthy desire differ from the addictive desire for porn as an escape.
- Addiction to porn fulfills a need to run from fear, shame, and grief rather than genuine connection.

- Keep a regular sleeping schedule on trips to maintain balance and reduce cravings.
- Poor sleep disrupts mood and increases vulnerability to relapse, especially for those recovering from porn addiction.
