This might seem strange or even dangerous to consider, but in today's podcast episode we explore why this idea can hold the key to the breakthrough you've been looking for.

Addiction is a tricky problem, but what if the cause of it doesn't have to be complicated? What if there was a single, unifying source behind all addictive behaviors? And what if once you understand this, there's also a single, practical path to unwinding addiction?

I believe this is true, it's just that the source is a bit hard to see. Especially in the context of our culture and double especially if you're a man...

Topics we visit in this episode:

- Why addiction is always a coping mechanism

- How to understand the link between emotional pain and addictive behavior

- The crucial difference between how to deal with emotional vs. physical pain

One of the most fundamental and powerful tools to quit porn addiction (or any addiction, really) is to create a plan for how to deal with urges. Because let's face it: when you quit, it won't just be smooth sailing. You WILL experience the urge to relapse. You WILL get triggered. And if you don't have a plan in place that you made in advance of that happening, your chances of success are low.  

In this episode, we're looking at exactly what you need to do to formulate your own "if-then plan" and make sure you can deal with whatever urges hit you.

What do you need to know about how to best quit porn while you're in a relationship with your girlfriend or wife? What's different for partnered guys, compared to single guys?  This question was asked by some guys in the community, so here's my comprehensive guide.  

Note: all of this is coming from the perspective of a man (the porn addict/quitter) who is in a hetero, monogamous relationship with a woman. Many of these same ideas will apply to other relationship configurations as well, but the hetero one is the only one where I can talk from my own experience.
