In the days of constantly comparing ourselves to others through an online presence, it can be hard to not love yourself for who you are. Even when you are doing your best to live a value-driven life, self-love can be lackluster. Hopefully, in this episode, you can have a better sense of how to love yourself, even when it feels like you can't.

We tend to overcomplicate addiction recovery. Addiction is not complicated; it requires consistency. Consistency in doing the small things day in and day out. Most people don't want to hear that, but it's the truth, and it's what works. In this episode, I talk about one place you can start:)

Can your self-worth change? Is it based on what you do? In this episode, I talk about the importance of self-worth in recovery. Buckle up!

When you think of eating a reeses, what happens? You jump on the train of thought and experience what it would be like to eat it. This all happens in a matter of milliseconds. This is why you start to salivate when thinking about eating your favorite foods. We are constantly jumping from train to train in our sea of thoughts.

In context of addiction, this means that we can always get off the train when it leads to a potential PMO. It starts with acceptance and acknowledgement:)

There is a misconception in the mental health world surrounding addiction. We tend to think that a specific amount of time without relapse is the end-all be-all with the addiction. However, recovery is a lifelong process. The brain and body will never forget what it was like to view pxrn when you were feeling stressed, sad, mad, etc. We need to treat recovery like our values. It is not a destination, it's a direction.

Focusing on time is a waste of time. When it comes to addiction, we tend to focus solely on how many days we have been sober rather than focusing on the things that bring change.

If you create a porn dependency from a young age, is it your fault? Let me know your thoughts!

I want to reiterate that I do not personally know this family or this young man. My intentions are not to shine a bad light on the family. What happened here is tragic, and we need to keep them in our prayers. I want to use this as a catalyst in starting a conversation about normalizing talk around pxrn, sxx, and sexuality in general. We talk about the bad without any of the good. That has to stop.

Enough said.

In this episode, I talk about the negative affects that screen time can have on your porn habits. Screens are not going away...neither is porn. We need to learn to how to live in a world that runs rampant with both. This episode marks the beginning of your journey toward changing your habits around your phone. Hoorah!
