Are you struggling to stay committed to your New Year's goals? The excitement of a new year can be motivating, but it often fades quickly, leaving us wondering how to keep going. In this episode, I revisit one of my most popular topics: how to follow through with your goals, especially if quitting pornography is on your list for the new year.

I address why so many people give up on their resolutions and why it’s not the goal itself, but our expectation that New Year’s energy should last forever. Instead of relying on short-term motivation, I share five tips to help you stay committed for the long haul.

You’ll discover why progress looks more like climbing a mountain than a straight line up, and how to process the urge to quit using the same techniques you’d use for processing urges to view porn. I also explain how to use the New Year’s energy to your advantage, even when the excitement starts to wear off.
