Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction

176: Why Quitting Pornography Has Felt Hard (and 3 practical strategies that make it much easier)


Listen Later

Imagine being stuck in a cycle that seems impossible to break: trying to quit pornography, doing well for a while, slipping up, hurting your partner, and starting all over again.

This pattern can go on for years, leaving both people feeling hopeless and exhausted.

Many think this cycle is just part of recovery - like climbing a mountain over and over, always sliding back down.

But what if there was a better way?

What if, instead of this endless climb, you could find a tunnel straight through the mountain?

In today's episode, I'll share three key reasons why breaking free feels so impossible - and more importantly, three practical steps to make this journey not just manageable, but actually hopeful.

Whether you've struggled for months or decades, these strategies can help you find real freedom, rebuild trust, and develop habits that make you stronger.

Get ready to discover a clearer path to lasting change.

For therapy with Sam:

I will work with you for 12 weeks to help you eliminate pornography use and the root cause that started it.

If after the 12 weeks you haven’t fully been able to quit, I’ll work with you 1-1 for free until you do.
