Description

You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.

That quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear changed my life—and in this episode, I’m going to show you why it needs to change yours. If you’re struggling with sex and porn addiction, or supporting someone who is, you’re likely overwhelmed, stuck, and maybe even hopeless.

You’ve tried therapy. Support groups. Willpower. White-knuckling it.

But here’s the truth… ➡️ Sex and porn addiction isn’t a “bad habit.” It’s a deeply entrenched coping strategy—wired in childhood, reinforced by shame, supercharged by biology, and sustained by secrecy.

➡️ Most recovery plans obsess over the problem—but few focus on the systems that build lasting transformation.

➡️ That’s why so many men fail. In this episode, I’ll break down:
  • Why this quote is mandatory training if you want to build healthy sexuality and a great life
  • Why sex and porn addiction is so hard to break
  • How your biology, early exposure, shame, and emotional repression create a perfect storm
  • And the 9 essential systems of The Mindful Habit System—developed over 13 years, used by thousands of men, and built to help you take back control of your life
These systems are the foundation for sustained success:
  1. Purpose & Direction
  2. Risk Management
  3. Self-Leadership (including self-control & self-esteem)
  4. Accountability
  5. Community & Connection
  6. Mindfulness & Faith
  7. Gratitude
  8. Healthy Sexuality
If you don’t have your own system—borrow mine. I’m Craig Perra, founder of The Mindful Habit. I help high-performing professionals—doctors, lawyers, executives, and men around the world—break free from destructive sexual behaviors and create powerful lives rooted in integrity, connection, and purpose.

▶️ Watch. Take notes. Reflect. This is the stuff no one taught us—but it's what we all need.
