Episode 202: It's Not Weakness: The Real Reason Behind Unwanted Pornography Use
Something you may have been told before about your unwanted porn use is that you don’t have a moral compass and that you lack self-control. This simply not true. The reason you view porn isn’t weakness or a lack of righteousness, so listen in to learn the real reason behind unwanted pornography use.
Over here, we understand that pornography is an easy way to escape your emotions (buffering), just like some people start binge eating from stress or watching TV to overcome their boredom. When you see where your porn use is really coming from, only then can you start doing something about changing this habit.
Tune in this week as I try something new on the podcast. I conducted a live stream, inviting listener questions, talking directly to listeners just like you. I dive deep into the real reason behind your unwanted pornography use, and I give you the foundations for making real progress toward quitting porn. These events are free, and an amazing way to get more help. If you’d like the links and schedules to attend, sign up here!
