July 21, 2025 62. Have You Tried This Yet? Using IFS To Treat Sex Addiction
Candice Christensen is well known for her ability to use Internal Family System (IFS) with both Sex Addicts and Couples to help them navigate the root cause of the sexually compulsive behavior.
I personally believe IFS is one of the best forms of treatment for sex and porn addiction. I personally used it in my recovery, and my clients who use it seem to get better results than those who don’t.
In this episode, Candice and I break down IFS and how it can be used to organize and accelerate your recovery.
It’s also a great tool to use when explaining your process addiction to betrayed partners.
For those who want to explore working with Candice and attending one of her intensives, visit her website here: https://www.candicechristiansen.com/

July 10, 2025 60. The Hard Truth About Sex Addiction and Betrayal Trauma Recovery
The truth is… recovering from sex addiction is hard. And, healing your marriage is even harder.
In this episode, we give it to you straight (no sugar coating).
Jackie Pack is a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist with a no BS approach. She and I have a raw and real discussion about the reality of sex addiction recovery.
Mental health is far from black and white. Every human is different. Every relationship is different. Therefore, many of the strategies that worked for others… might not work for you.
All of this said, there’s always a way to recover and move forward. The goal of this episode was to show you that you do have options and to help you take control of your unique recovery plan.

July 05, 2025 59. Why “Sex Addiction” Shouldn’t Be Called Sex Addiction
Sex addiction is classified as a “process addiction.” This is important as your treatment strategy may need to change depending on the thought processes that you’re addicted to.
In this episode, I discuss:Why the term “sex addiction” may be a distraction.Why the term may make it difficult for your wife to move forward.Why the term may be creating an inaccurate enemy.

June 30, 2025 58. How Sex Addicts Can Avoid Burnout And Stay In The Fight For Multiple Years
When most guys get into recovery for their sex or porn addiction, they think this will be out of their lives in a few months.
While sobriety can be achieved, healing your marriage is a different story.
In this episode, Cory Anderson (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) and I discuss what guys need to do to go the distance.
As you have probably figured out… this is not a quick process.
Sex addiction recovery is a marathon, NOT a sprint.
This episode will help you get there.

June 25, 2025 57. Are You More Traumatized Than You Think? This May Be Limiting Your Recovery
Good life events may be more traumatic than the negative ones.
Trauma comes from the conclusion you came to after the life event… Not the event itself.
In this episode, I talk about how success, advice, mentorship, winning, and other accomplishments may be more traumatic than some of the negative events that have happened in your life.
All life events have the potential to influence your belief system.
Therefore, you should make sure that your recovery plan includes examining all potentially problematic beliefs. Even if they look “good” on the surface.
I spend a good amount of time talking about trauma in my book. If you have not yet bought my book, you can download the first chapter for free here: https://successfuladdict.com/booksample

June 20, 2025 56. Healing Your Marriage After Infidelity is Brutal. Would it be Better to Just Walk Away?
Sex addiction will destroy your marriage. The only way back is to create a new marriage that will likely look much different than the old marriage.
Your wife will be with a guy who she knows has the capability of lying to her and cheating on her.
You will have to be with a wife who is frequently triggered by trauma and may ask you to modify your lifestyle to keep her safe.
On this podcast episode, I am joined by Dr. Corey Allan, host of one of the top relationship podcasts, “Sexy Marriage Radio.”
Corey and I address a common question men ask themselves when in the depths of relational recovery… “Would it be easier if we just got divorced?” And, another question: “Should I just be single?”
All are fair questions when trying to heal the marriage after sexual betrayal. It's not an easy road for couples.
So, why be married? Well, that's exactly what we address in this podcast episode.

June 15, 2025 55. If You Were Born Before 2025… You Have Childhood Trauma
The word “trauma” is often misunderstood. It’s not just abuse… Trauma can be a result of advice, mentorship, or any event for that matter.
Parenting is not about being a “good” parent. Oftentimes, it's “good parenting” that results in the most trauma to the child.
Kids don’t need someone to tell them who to become, what to believe, and how to live their lives. In fact, overparenting can sometimes be worse than neglect.
Why??
Because kids who have been overparented often believe that they had a “perfect childhood.” Whereas the neglected child knows that they had flawed parents, and they are often more open to being wrong and seeking out new ways of thinking.
This episode may be helpful when looking back and identifying where some of your sex addiction may have stemmed from.

It can be challenging to identify the flaws in your upbringing without a group to help you discover where your problematic beliefs came from and which ones are causing you to act out sexually.

June 10, 2025 54. The 3-Second Rule and Your 3 Circle Sobriety Plan Redefined
In this episode, I’m joined by Jennifer Ginsberg, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist.
While most men have already heard about the “3-second-rule” and the “3 circles of sobriety”… they typically have not revisited these circles since being in early recovery.
In this episode, Jennifer and I redefine sobriety so that it can be maintained for decades.
Too often, sex addicts set up a recovery plan that is unsustainable. It either gets boring or becomes ineffective.
Recovery needs to be mentally stimulating, enjoyable, and evolving. A boring recovery is a dangerous recovery.

June 05, 2025 53. Is There Such Thing As Being “Recover-ed”
Most guys want this to end at some point. The time spent in groups, therapy, couples therapy, couples groups… It's a lot. And, I see why guys feel like their life is being consumed by recovery work.
The good news is that you will be able to tone down the number of hours spent each week. However, you will likely always have a few hours each week dedicated to continued growth and maintenance.
The guys I know who stayed in good recovery… stayed in good recovery. Meaning that they still see their therapist once a month, and they still attend their recovery groups once a week.
Why? Because it’s not worth the risk of divorce.
No guy means to relapse. It just happens.
But, every guy who relapsed will tell you the same thing… “I stopped going to my groups and stopped seeing my therapist… and eventually I made a bad decision in a weak moment.”
And, just like that… they find themselves splitting their assets and seeing their kids 50% of the time.
Recovery is a lifestyle, and this podcast episode will explain how you can practice it.
If you are ready for a recovery group that focuses on self-mastery rather than sobriety, head to our website: successfuladdict.com
We provide high-achievers, business professionals, and entrepreneurs with a recovery mastermind full of like-minded men. Together, you can accelerate your recovery by having the other men see what you cannot see on your own.
