No More Desire ™ Porn Addiction Recovery No More Desire

Today I want to talk about a lie that we're told about porn addiction. We're often told that addiction is just a bad habit, that we need to abstain from it, get over our impulsivity, and just say no to the cravings and urges. But let me tell you, that's a bunch of crap.

Overcoming porn addiction isn't just about saying no to the habit; it's about developing a new mindset and lifestyle that supports sobriety; a recovery mindset and lifestyle. Addiction isn't the root issue; it's a symptom of deeper mental, spiritual, relational, and physical suffering. So, what does it really take to break free from addiction? Let's dive deeper.
Pornography addiction isn't just limited to substances like drugs or alcohol; it can manifest in various forms, including pornography, overeating, or even workaholism. Anything that we want to stop but feel we can't, despite the negative consequences, falls under the umbrella of addiction. It's about recognizing the imbalances in our lives and addressing them holistically.

I recently received this question from one of my listeners:
“I’m trying to break free from porn. What are some key things I can do throughout the day so that when it comes to the time I get home I’m not tempted beyond what I can handle? I know the Bible says that I will never be tempted beyond what I can bear but sometimes I feel like I can’t beat it...”


I LOVE this question! 


There are so many amazing things that we can do everyday to “armor up” and make ourselves resilient to addiction.  

To overcome porn addiction, we need to develop a recovery mindset and lifestyle. In today's episode, I teach you all about it!

Today, I’m going to teach you why porn addiction destroys motivation, and what you can do about it. 


During the decade I struggled with addictions to porn and masturbation, I constantly regretted how I was squandering my potential. I felt like the times I was clean of porn I could do pretty well in life - I was productive in school, at work, my relationships were better, I was friendlier. 


But during the times that I struggled with porn addiction, all of that seemed to disappear, or at least to suffer. I thought “If I could only stop watching porn and masturbating, I could get my motivation back and accomplish things”. Not that I accomplished nothing, but I knew I was capable of far more than what I was doing. 


Motivation is one of the main things we need to overcome porn addiction. And…overcoming porn addiction is one of the main things we need to feel motivated.


This can make for a pain-staking cycle. 


When we become addicted to porn, we can become sapped of drive and zest for life. We feel a lack of enthusiasm and love for what once excited us. 


To break free of porn addiction, we need to feel that enthusiasm and love so we can fill the hole inside of us. 


This can seem impossible for many of us addicts, and we wonder how we could ever escape such an endless cycle of needing motivation to overcome, and needing to overcome to feel motivated. 

In today's episode, I'll teach you how.
