Podcast Description:

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep going back to porn even when I don’t want to?” — this episode is for you.


In today’s conversation, we’re uncovering why so many men sabotage their progress when trying to quit porn, even when they’re motivated, committed, and know what’s at stake. Whether you're struggling with porn addiction, trying to break the habit of watching porn, or working to rebuild trust after betrayal, this episode dives into the root of why you keep slipping—and how to stop.


You’ll learn:


Why you keep relapsing during porn recovery even when you really want to change


The emotional and psychological patterns that lead to self-sabotage during addiction recovery


What’s actually happening when you feel triggered, overwhelmed, or disconnected—and how that leads back to porn


How to work through the internal stories like “I’m never going to change” or “This is just who I am”


How men use porn as a way to escape feelings like shame, rejection, failure, and not being enough


Why many men unintentionally destroy the intimacy and trust they’re trying to rebuild with their wives


The real reason your past efforts to quit pornography haven’t worked—and what to do differently


Tools that actually work to build lasting freedom from porn, heal your marriage, and create long-term change


How to stop numbing, hiding, and isolating when you're in emotional pain


Real client stories of men who broke free from long-term porn habits, repaired emotional connection, and finally felt proud of who they were becoming


If you’ve tried porn blockers, accountability groups, or even therapy—but still feel like something deeper is keeping you stuck—this episode will help you identify the real reason for your porn struggles and finally give you a clear path forward.


This is for men who are serious about:


How to quit watching porn
