44: Why Porn Addiction Destroys Motivation and What to Do About It

Today, I’m going to teach you why porn addiction destroys
motivation, and what you can do about it. 


During the decade I struggled with addictions to porn and
masturbation, I constantly regretted how I was squandering my
potential. I felt like the times I was clean of porn I could do
pretty well in life - I was productive in school, at work, my
relationships were better, I was friendlier. 


But during the times that I struggled with porn addiction, all of
that seemed to disappear, or at least to suffer. I thought “If I
could only stop watching porn and masturbating, I could get my
motivation back and accomplish things”. Not that I accomplished
nothing, but I knew I was capable of far more than what I was
doing. 


Motivation is one of the main things we need to overcome porn
addiction. And…overcoming porn addiction is one of the main
things we need to feel motivated.


This can make for a pain-staking cycle. 


When we become addicted to porn, we can become sapped of drive
and zest for life. We feel a lack of enthusiasm and love for what
once excited us. 


To break free of porn addiction, we need to feel that enthusiasm
and love so we can fill the hole inside of us. 


This can seem impossible for many of us addicts, and we wonder
how we could ever escape such an endless cycle of needing
motivation to overcome, and needing to overcome to feel
motivated.

In today's episode, I'll teach you how.
