Porn addicts have this habit of storing their favorite pictures or videos for future use.  In this episode, we discuss the reasons why we should get rid of our stashes and how to do it. 

Cutting the source of pornography from our daily routine is a simple step but not an easy one. This episode discusses the different ways to distance ourselves from the sources of temptation.  

 Time magazine recently published an article on why young men who grew up with internet porn are becoming advocates for turning it off. This episode discusses the contents of the article and why they are important. 

At the core of every addiction is selfishness.  In fact, porn addiction goes a step further.  It is enacted in such a way that it feeds our selfishness. And this selfishness is capable of destroying relationships.  

Have you ever listened to someone say that they have been sober from pornography for 2 years and thought they were lying? Chances are, they are in the maintenance stage of recovery.  Getting there is absolutely possible! 

If you thought that you will always be a porn addict and there is no way out, wait till you get to the action phase of recovery.  It's a frustrating phase but it is also the phase when you start seeing positive results.  Not only will you notice a change in yourself, others will start noticing it too.  

In this episode, we discuss the third stage of recovery - the preparation phase.  By this phase, the addict is determine to change and starts to try different resources that will eventually lead to long lasting recovery.   

In this episode, we discuss the second phase in the cycle of change - the contemplation phase.  Addicts in this phase are aware of their problem but has no commitment to make changes.  Its amazing how often we find ourselves here! 

In this episode we briefly talk about the pre-contemplative phase of recovery and why this stage is very important even for those who have moved beyond this phase in the past.   

As addicts, we tend to measure our progress or regress by the number of days we have been sober. But sometimes counting days become more important than real recovery.
