2. Four Reasons to Consider Quitting Porn — Especially If You Want More Fulfillment Welcome to another episode of the Unhooked podcast, the place to learn how to break free from compulsive behaviors and bad habits, so that you can create the life you want.
I wish I could say that my intentions were more noble from the beginning. That I quit porn because I thought it would end gender violence, or save women from sex-trafficking, or lead to world peace.
The truth is, what finally got me to quit watching porn is that I just wanted to be happier. I wanted more satisfaction in my life and relationships. Critics of the modern “self-help” movement might argue this focus on the “self” is unhelpful, but I think it’s a fine, perhaps even necessary, place to start. In this episode I’m going to describe the real reasons I quit porn. My hope is that this reflection might be a motivation for any of you struggling to break free.
I hope this episode helps you make massive progress on your goals and dreams in 2023 and beyond. If you found this episode helpful, please let me know by leaving a review! I would love to hear from you.
