In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I'm joined by Coach Yeadon as we dive into the raw truths we've learned from years of battling porn addiction and walking through 12-Step recovery.

What started as skepticism toward "powerlessness" and the phrase "I'm an addict" eventually revealed itself as life-changing wisdom. Together, we unpack the difference between sobriety and recovery, why streaks aren't enough, and how the power of community and radical honesty destroys shame at its root.

This episode is not about theory—it's about the hard-earned lessons that separate the men who relapse endlessly from the men who finally walk free.

Whether you're a husband, father, or leader tired of the double life, these three principles will call you higher.
