How can you replace porn addiction? The answer is not a mystery. Essentially, it requires you to build the skills of a porn addiction recovery mindset and lifestyle. It also requires consistency.If recovery were a car, these recovery skills would be the engine, and consistency would be the fuel. You can rewire your brain and stop watching porn using these skills and this consistency.You may have achieved a week or two of sobriety at some point. Or even a few months. But would you like to make it a year, 5 years, 10 years, and beyond? How do you maintain focus and motivation to stay sober from porn when times get tough? When you don’t feel good enough as a husband or father, when work sucks, life gets overwhelming, you’re exhausted or burnt out, you lose something or someone you loved, your wife isn’t connecting with you, your kids are testing your patience, or your best intentions end in failure? A car’s engine cannot function long-term without regular oil changes. Without these, the engine corrodes, breaks down, and eventually fails. You may know the skills to stay sober. You may have a nice frame, engine, and all the bells and whistles. But if you don’t have adequate, clean oil in your engine, you’ll never achieve long-term sobriety and truly lose your desire for porn. So, how do you quit porn, avoid porn relapse, and stay sober in tough times? You need oil. BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationBuy Me a CoffeeMORE ARTICLESThe Neuroscience of Quitting Porn: Build a New BrainHow Do I Stop My Husband from Watching Porn?Self-Control & Porn Addiction | Why Willpower Always FailsWhy Doesn’t God Take My Porn Addiction?Christianity and Porn Addiction | How to Overcome Sexual & Religious ShameHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn RelapseMusic by: Bensound.com/free-music-for-videosLicense code: CQT5HHJGDQUOPWMSSupport the showNo More Desire
