Join me as I share invaluable insights into the key mistakes to avoid during the initial stages of porn addiction recovery. Drawing from my own experience and years of coaching, I'll guide you through the essential strategies that can save you time, energy, and money. I'll highlight how relying solely on willpower, trying to quit both porn and masturbation simultaneously, and ignoring the importance of support and accountability can impede your progress. You'll also learn about the dangers of slippery slope behaviors, limiting beliefs, the necessity of forgiving yourself, and the importance of embracing your sexuality. Lastly, I'll emphasize the critical need to address other aspects of your life to ensure a holistic and fulfilling recovery. Stick around until the end, where I'll reveal the number one mistake that keeps many people trapped in the cycle of addiction for years.
