49: Porn Addiction is Just a Symptom

Today I want to talk about a lie that we're told about porn
addiction. We're often told that addiction is just a bad habit,
that we need to abstain from it, get over our impulsivity, and
just say no to the cravings and urges. But let me tell you,
that's a bunch of crap.

Overcoming porn addiction isn't just about saying no to the
habit; it's about developing a new mindset and lifestyle that
supports sobriety; a recovery mindset and lifestyle. Addiction
isn't the root issue; it's a symptom of deeper mental, spiritual,
relational, and physical suffering. So, what does it really take
to break free from addiction? Let's dive deeper.


Pornography addiction isn't just limited to substances like drugs
or alcohol; it can manifest in various forms, including
pornography, overeating, or even workaholism. Anything that we
want to stop but feel we can't, despite the negative
consequences, falls under the umbrella of addiction. It's about
recognizing the imbalances in our lives and addressing them
holistically.
