Episode show notes:

After 38 years of porn addiction, today’s guest finally broke free—not through willpower, blockers, or accountability partners, but by uncovering the root cause behind his compulsive pornography use.

In this powerful interview, we talk about how he spent decades stuck in the cycle of porn relapse, shame, secrecy, and failed attempts to quit… and how everything changed once he learned how to identify the emotional patterns driving the urges.

If you’ve ever wondered why quitting porn feels impossible, why willpower never lasts, or why traditional porn addiction recovery strategies fail, this episode is a game-changer.

You’ll hear the exact moment he realized porn wasn’t the real problem, how understanding his emotional triggers led to lasting transformation, and how he built the confidence and self-worth he never thought was possible.

We go deep into topics like:

• Why porn becomes a coping mechanism, not just a bad habit

• How emotional pain, stress, and shame fuel pornography cravings

• The difference between surface-level behavior control vs. root-cause healing

• Why “just stop watching porn” never works long-term

• The skills he learned that finally made permanent freedom from porn possible

It’s a story about clarity, courage, and rebuilding life without pornography—and it proves that even after decades of struggle, healing from porn addiction is possible when you work on the real issue beneath the urge.

If you're tired of fighting urges, tired of relapse, or tired of feeling broken because of porn, this episode will give you hope—and a practical path forward.
