43: Ease Stress in 5 Steps
02/21/24 • 24 min
One of the main reasons that we struggle with porn addiction is we have not yet learned how to manage stress effectively.
Managing stress is not an easy task, especially with how many challenging emotions and decisions face us today.
Most people are more stressed than they’ve ever been, with the political, economic, and societal context.
But all this does not need to lead to addiction.
Rather than escaping through pornography addiction (or other addictions), we can learn how to stop running from discomfort, and start leaning into it.
We can handle difficult situations and emotions with peace and acceptance.
By doing this, we can develop the skills to quit porn long-term.
In today’s episode, I’ll teach you the 5 steps to ease stress.
If you want to take recovery seriously, join my coaching program. You’ll experience:
- One-on-one sessions with someone who has both personal and professional experience in recovery.
- Daily Check-ins that help you understand what’s really leading to your addiction so you can break free of porn for good.

42: Dependence, Independence, Interdependence
Are you trying to quit porn for yourself, or for others?
Should you be motivated to stop watching porn for your spouse? Your kids? For another family member or a friend?
Sometimes we addicts can rely heavily upon others - to an unhealthy extent. Or, we can completely isolate ourselves, trying to do everything on our own.
When it comes to our attitude and outlook, it is important we get one thing straight. Our ability to stay clean or porn does not hinge on any outside influences.
It’s not others’ fault when we relapse. It’s not others’ responsibility to motivate us to stay clean.
It’s ours.
Plain and simple.
Can other people or circumstances make it easier to stay clean? Absolutely! Can other people help us stay sober? Totally!
We can and should lean on other people to overcome porn addiction, and we should be someone others can lean on too.
In today’s episode, I’m going to discuss dependent, independent, and interdependent methods of sobriety. We’ll discuss the balance between finding motivation in ourselves vs. finding it in others, and the healthiest outlook we can have to achieve long-lasting sobriety from porn addiction.

44: Why Porn Addiction Destroys Motivation and What to Do 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.
