9: Why I Became Addicted to Porn & How I Quit

I’m going to tell you why I became addicted to porn, and what kept me addicted for 10 years. It had nothing to do with craving sex, or “manly urges.” Porn addiction has to do with your state of mind. Porn addiction recovery is about transforming that state of mind from one that is susceptible to addiction to one that isn’t. The answers may not be easy, but some of them are simple. And while I can’t wave my magic wand or tell you “3 secrets that get you sober permanently”, I do have some advice and information I hope will help you in your journey. If we are trying to stop watching porn, or seeking to understand a loved one who is addicted, we need to know that porn addiction has very little to do with the sexual act itself, and far more to do with getting a “fix”. Research shows that pornography physically changes the brain. We can’t get the same “dopamine hit” during normal sex that we can during a session with porn. Why? Think about the novelty that porn offers; the number of different partners and new experiences available at the click of the button. Think about how quickly someone can go from 0 to 100 with one of those “partners” in an instant… Is any of that like having sex in a real relationship? How can sex in real life possibly compete?As a kid, I was high-strung, perfectionistic, and somewhat impulsive. I felt stressed out much of the time and had so much inner intensity that I simply didn’t have the skills or understanding to deal with. I also had low self-esteem, and, more importantly, a low sense of self-worth. I didn’t believe I was worthy of good things. I had negative self-talk and was worried others didn’t accept me. I didn’t know that I was high-strung or stressed out. To me, it was just normal life. In today's episode, you'll learn how these negative feelings fueled my need for a “fix”, just as they do for others I have worked with and observed.

6: Forgiveness | How to Break Free of Porn Addiction

To know how to break free of porn addiction, we start by exploring the deep pain underneath the surface. Porn cravings come as a result of mental and emotional pain. Everyone deals with this pain to one extent or another. When we struggle with addiction, it simply means that this pain has reached a more intense/frequent stage than it has for some. For this reason, there is no shame in porn addiction. It simply means our ego - our mind - sought out a way to cope with mental and emotional pain, and it chose pornography addiction as a way to do that. If we want to stop watching porn, it requires us to find forgiveness for ourselves and others. This is a major part recovery. But when we deal with deep wounds, we are left wondering HOW to forgive. Because it can be difficult, right? Not just to say "I forgive them/myself", but to really MEAN IT.In this video, I teach you the 7 steps of unconditional forgiveness so you can release emotional burdens and experience genuine porn addiction recovery.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsJoin My Email NewsletterIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramSchedule a Free ConsultationMORE ARTICLESHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn Relapse (Without a Fight) Using The 4-Pronged Ownership ApproachThe 4 Root Causes of Porn AddictionHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 Steps8 Rules to Get You 3 Months Sober from PornStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsTrauma, Attachment, Shame & Porn AddictionThe Porn Addiction Funnel: How To Break Porn AddictionSupport the showNo More Desire

5: The Addiction/Fear Cycle | Where Pornography Addiction Comes From

When asked where pornography addiction comes from, many of us are tempted to say “sex cravings”, lust, dopamine, or “boys will be boys.” These all play a part, but I feel that none of them get to the core of the issue. I’ve spent 12 years coming to understand addiction by living my own recovery. I’ve dug deep, seeking for the true roots. I didn't want to just quit porn addiction, but to lose my desire for it entirely. After living addiction recovery, and studying it in both ancient and modern wisdom, I created The Addiction/Fear Cycle.This Cycle outlines not only the cause of porn addiction but all addiction. It deals with the fundamental reasons we crave and seek out worldly attachments.If you want to know how to get rid of porn addiction, check out the resources below.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsJoin My Email NewsletterIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramSchedule a Free ConsultationMORE ARTICLESHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn Relapse (Without a Fight) Using The 4-Pronged Ownership ApproachThe 4 Root Causes of Porn AddictionHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 Steps8 Rules to Get You 3 Months Sober from PornStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsTrauma, Attachment, Shame & Porn AddictionThe Porn Addiction Funnel: How To Break Porn AddictionSupport the showNo More Desire

2: "You Are Only Good" | Overcome Porn Addiction by Knowing True Self

What if I told you that you are only good? That there is no bad in you? What if I told you that your being contains no evil or fear, but only love? Most likely, this sounds like a strange concept. Either it brings up memories of pop songs that say “You’re amazing just the way you are” or mother’s kissing their children on the forehead as they tell them “you’re perfect.”Before you head out on a road of misgivings, let me explain. Porn addiction recovery requires a major shift in perspective. If we want to quit porn, we must learn over time to center our focus on the things of peace, connection, and depth. And so, we must understand that we - and all around us - are, in truth, only good. This is because there is not only one “you”. Rather, there are two versions of you, my friend. What are these two versions? They are the ego and the True Self. Addiction comes from ego - or the false self. The ego bases its identity upon past and future, strengths and weaknesses, history and choices, and the opinions of others. The ego bases its self-worth upon what is fallible - possessions, accomplishments, status, etc. It feeds off of fear and seeks to remain separate from others. Porn addiction is born within this mental and spiritual space of separation. Then, there is the True Self. This is the self we must come to recognize if we want to overcome porn addiction. The True Self is whole. It knows only the present moment. Past and future do not exist for the True Self. It knows its oneness with all beings and with Higher Power. Its only desire is to extend goodness to everything that exists. Which of these versions of self do you believe is the real you? To learn more about how to tap into the True Self and get rid of pornography addiction, listen to my latest podcast episode: Ep. 2: You Are Only Good: Get Rid of Porn Addiction by Knowing True Self.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsJoin My Email NewsletterIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramSchedule a Free ConsultationMORE ARTICLESHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn Relapse (Without a Fight) Using The 4-Pronged Ownership ApproachThe 4 Root Causes of Porn AddictionHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 Steps8 Rules to Get You 3 Months Sober from PornStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsTrauma, Attachment, Shame & Porn AddictionThe Porn Addiction Funnel: How To BSupport the showNo More Desire
