Porn Free Radio Matt Dobschuetz

Before recovery, I lived a divided life. I hid anything I found unacceptable from my friends and family including my problematic porn use. On the surface, I presented a "nice guy" version of myself to be liked and accepted. It was exhausting and painfully lonely.

When you started recovery, the challenge was overwhelming (high) and your skill level was low.
And chances are if you have not significantly changed your habits, the challenge feels about the same.
For a long time the only tool in your tool box was willpower. Some version of "JUST SAY NO."
But often willpower is easily exhausted. It gives out when we need it most.
What if I told you success in recovery is not about increasing your willpower, it's about building skills.
