Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction

184: Rob's Success Story: How He Went From Almost Divorced to No More Triggers and Urges


Listen Later

Have you ever felt trapped in a cycle that seemed impossible to break? For Rob, porn became more than just a habit – it was an escape hatch from feelings of failure and not being good enough.

Like many of us, he saw himself as a ticking time bomb, always counting down to the next slip.

But this isn't a story about being stuck. It's about finding a way forward when you think there isn't one.

Today, Rob shares how he transformed his life by facing the root cause of his struggles – not the behavior itself, but the deep-seated feelings of unworthiness beneath it.

Through learning to be present with his family and developing new tools for handling difficult emotions, he didn't just survive – he rebuilt his marriage and discovered a strength he never knew he had.

In this episode, you'll learn practical strategies for:

  • Separating yourself from negative thought patterns
  • Building genuine presence with loved ones
  • Converting shame into motivation for change
  • Rebuilding trust in relationships
  • You'll learn specific steps you can take when the pain feels overwhelming, what conversations actually help both partners heal, and what to expect as you work on fixing things together.

    There is hope and there are tools that work - even when it doesn't feel that way right now.

     

    For therapy with Sam:

    I will work with you for 12 weeks to help you eliminate pornography use and resolve the root cause so it doesn't come back.

    If after the 12 weeks you haven’t fully overcome it, I’ll work with you for free until you do.
