In this episode, Sathiya breaks down the difference between porn addiction and compulsive or problematic porn use—and explains why the label doesn't actually matter as much as people think. Since pornography addiction isn't officially recognized in the DSM-5, many men convince themselves they're “not addicted,” even while experiencing all the signs of compulsive behavior. Learn how to evaluate whether your porn use is problematic, why minimizing your struggle keeps you stuck, and how anyone with ongoing porn-related issues can start real recovery. This episode is perfect for listeners seeking help with porn addiction recovery, compulsive porn habits, or understanding the signs of problematic porn use (PPU).   Know more about Sathiya's work: Join Deep Clean Inner Circle - The Brotherhood You Neeed (+ get coached by Sathiya) For Less Than $2/day Submit Your Questions (Anonymously) To Be Answered On The Podcast Get A Free Copy of The Last Relapse, Your Blueprint For Recovery Watch Sathiya on Youtube For More Content Like This   Chapters:  (00:00) Are You Addicted or Just Compulsive?

Today Kristen Boss pulls back the curtain on a common struggle so many high-achievers face which is being addicted to the idea of transformation rather than the actual process of it.If you're someone who constantly finds themselves buying planners, signing up for new programs, and telling yourself, “This time will be different” only to fizzle out days later?

Kristen also outlines a better way forward — one that prioritizes sustainability, nervous system regulation, and a grounded approach to growth.Key Takeaways:Why dopamine and novelty trick us into starting but not finishingHow being a “Hope Hustler” erodes self-trust over timeThe four nervous system stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, fawn) and how they show up in goal-settingWhy tolerating boredom is essential for long-term successThe true cost of chasing intensity over intentionalityHow to build a relationship with process, not just outcomesResources & Links:If you're a Hope Hustler, you need to be at the 3-Day Success Rewire Challenge happening December 8-10th!

On today's Disney Podcast, we are talking through all of the Walt Disney World resorts and the reasons why we would stay at or avoid each of them. Depending on what your budget allows and the priorities for your family during your vacation, there are reasons to book each of these resorts…and reasons to stay away from them. These are all of our reasons for staying and avoiding each resort, whether they are Value, Moderate, Deluxe, or Good Neighbor. Enjoy!  This episode is sponsored by Fantastical Vacations.

Baxie talks with singer/songwriter Janet Devlin. This is a truly amazing conversation with a woman who has gone from being a 16-year-old girl from Northern Ireland to being thrust into the national spotlight as an X Factor finalist. And if her story stopped there it would still be a hell of a story. But Janet's story is MUCH more than that. Instead, Janet has battled alcohol abuse, and eating disorder, and mental illness—only to come out on the other side healthier and stronger than ever before. In 2023 she produced a powerful documentary entitled “Janet Devlin: Young Female and Addicted”. She's also just released an expanded, deluxe edition of her 2024 album “Not My First Emotional Rodeo”. It's a MUST listen to interview! Listen on Apple, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app! Brought to you by Metro Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Chicopee

We live in a world of addicts that encourage others to be addicts and someways legislative ways to prevent success without being an addict .

In this episode of Addicted to Recovery, hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas sit down with Steve, a long-time member of Gamblers Anonymous who has been in recovery for almost ten years. Steve offers a raw and honest insight into how his gambling addiction began, how it spiralled out of control, and how recovery has transformed his life.Steve describes growing up in a stable, loving household, with no obvious signs that addiction would ever be part of his life. Gambling entered harmlessly—small bets during family outings to the dog tracks, or casual football accumulators. However, in his early twenties, after taking a job in London, gambling shifted from occasional fun to a daily compulsion. Lunchtime visits to the bookies became a regular ritual; soon he was timing his breaks around race schedules, placing as many bets as possible, and craving the buzz and adrenaline that came with it. He explains how he would literally push past people in betting shops just to get a bet on, because being “in action” felt essential.As the addiction deepened, Steve's life became dominated by secrecy, debt, and anxiety. He began taking out loans, extending overdrafts multiple times in a week, and fabricating stories to hide the truth from his wife. He recounts a painful memory of promising to pay for a birthday dinner for both families. Although he briefly won enough money to cover the evening, he lost it all again on the way home, leading to desperate lies and shame. This incident was one of many that left him feeling trapped, exhausted, and sick with worry. Stress from gambling even led to chest pains so severe he ended up in hospital, although he admits he returned to gambling the very next day.By early 2016, the addiction had reached a breaking point. His wife discovered new loans and knew instantly that the gambling had returned. Steve describes this moment as the day his world collapsed—but also the day recovery truly began. His last bet was on 19 February 2016. A week later, once his family had dealt with an unrelated medical emergency, he attended his first Gamblers Anonymous meeting. He immediately felt a weight lift from his shoulders. For the first time, he was in a room full of people who understood exactly what he'd been through.Steve explains the power of GA: the unity, structure, honesty, and sense of belonging. Meetings helped him realise he could not recover alone. He embraced the practical safeguards too, handing full control of finances to his wife to avoid temptation. He continues to attend regularly and even chairs many meetings, sharing both his gambling history and the challenges of everyday life. He's learned to listen to others, accept guidance, and lean on the group whenever he feels vulnerable.Recovery has transformed Steve's daily life. He describes the relief of waking up without shame, hiding nothing from his wife, and being fully present for his children. He talks emotionally about watching his son play football or attending parents' evenings—moments he used to miss or experience through a fog of anxiety. Sobriety has brought his emotions back in a powerful way; sometimes overwhelming, but ultimately grounding and fulfilling.Towards the end of the episode, Steve offers advice to anyone still struggling. He urges them to walk into a meeting, even if it feels intimidating, and to take things one day at a time. Recovery, he explains, brings back not just stability, but time, honesty, connection, and a sense of self that addiction destroys. He emphasises that life will never be perfect, but the tools he's gained through GA allow him to handle challenges without turning back to gambling.The conversation closes with Steve reflecting on his gratitude for the life he has today—a life built on honesty, accountability, unity, and the daily choice to stay in recovery.

What if the only thing standing between you and your big dream was… just starting? Nikki and David tackle the excuses, fears, and perfection traps that keep us stuck on the sidelines. From the myth of "not being ready yet" to the fear of failing in front of others, they share real stories and reframes that prove you're good enough to start right now. You'll hear why momentum builds confidence, how failure is really just feedback, and why declaring your goals out loud creates unstoppable energy. Whether it's launching a podcast, building a business, or finally chasing that thing you've been putting off, this conversation is your nudge to stop waiting and start doing.

What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what's alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you've ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing00:35:11 Real-Time Healing00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human00:46:10 Closing—-------—-------—-

After you have faced death, you can't believe what people care about online. In this episode, Ryan sits down with bestselling author and legendary war reporter Sebastian Junger. Sebastian talks about why he refuses to get a smartphone, how technology gives us the illusion of control, Ambrose Bierce, and the multiple times he was nearly executed as a war reporter. Sebastian Junger is the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of The Perfect Storm, Fire, A Death In Belmont, War, Tribe, Freedom and In My Time Of Dying. As an award-winning journalist, a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and a special correspondent at ABC News, he has covered major international news stories around the world, and has received both a National Magazine Award and a Peabody Award. Junger is also a documentary filmmaker whose debut film "Restrepo", a feature-length documentary (co-directed with Tim Hetherington), was nominated for an Academy Award and won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.

Does your phone put you to bed at night and wake you up in the morning? How often do you actually touch and hold your phone each day? Could you be addicted? Your phone isn't just a tool anymore—it's a slot machine in your pocket, custom-built to hijack your brain's reward system. And for the first generation of true digital natives (today's teens and twenty-somethings), the consequences are hitting harder and earlier than any of us “digital immigrants” ever imagined. In this episode, Austin Conner, MDiv, PLPC has a broad ranging interview with Luke Simon, newly hired co-director of Crossing Student Ministry, a published author, and an extremely wise and insightful GenZ-er.  Luke gets brutally honest about his double life—real-life Luke who felt anxious and insecure, versus “Luke3Simon” online who was always crushing it—and how deleting social media, going full airplane-mode, and even leaving his phone in the car became his personal rehab. He also explains why the phone isn't the real problem—it's the escape hatch from a painful, boring, or broken reality. Austin and Luke discuss the nature of the digital landscape, what apps and dynamics contribute to phone addiction and specific advice to parents about how to help themselves and their kids navigate the ever changing digital terrain. After listening to this episode we hope that you will look up from the dim glow in the palm of your hand and engage the real world in all its colorful beauty.

"Build a business that works for you instead of you building a business that you have to work for."  A man can choose to become who he wants to become, not who his environment programs him to be. Ambition, discipline, and relentless learning can transform a man's trajectory. Developing strength isn't just physical or financial; it's the ability to outgrow the limits of your childhood, elevate your standards, and build a future that reflects who you intend to be.  Justin Montgomery began with every disadvantage but refused to inherit the mindset around him. He leaned into knowledge, skill-building, and the courage to reinvent himself repeatedly—from nursing to entrepreneurship to a multimillion-dollar exit. His story reveals how men can build careers that work for them, not the other way around, and why mastery, mentorship, and niching down are essential for power and prosperity.  Justin is a nurse practitioner turned entrepreneur who scaled a professional education business into an eight-figure exit by age 39. Today, Justin mentors professionals at ProCourseStart.com, helping them build scalable, niche online course businesses that produce wealth and freedom.  Learn more & connect:   Email Justin directly @ Justin@ProCourseStart.com  You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

What if your attempts to help someone with their addiction were actually making things worse? This conversation with addiction intervention specialist Chris Doyle shattered every assumption I had about addiction, from why some people can't stop after their first drink to why taking away privileges might be the worst thing you can do. We explore the complexities of addiction and its impact on families. Chris, sober 18 years himself, reveals the shocking truth that addiction starts at age 12 for most, affects 10-15% of those who experiment, and has nothing to do with bad parenting or weak character. We dive deep into the critical difference between dependency and addiction (hint: it's just two words), why your typical parenting strategies backfire catastrophically, and the "Connected Response Method" that actually works. Chris shares his mother's brilliant response when he came home drunk at 17, explains why addiction is like a shrimp allergy, and reveals the toxic relationship between codependency and addiction. Essential listening for any midlife parent, partner, or person touched by addiction -- which, statistically, is almost all of us.   Catch the full episode on YOUTUBE HERE: https://bit.ly/MidlifeConversationsYouTube    Learn More About Chris Doyle   Instagram ➜ https://www.instagram.com/whyintervention  Website ➜  https://www.whyintervention.com/   Free Gifts for being a listener of Midlife Conversations!

If you feel tired, busy, overwhelmed, or “just not ready,” this episode is going to hit home. Chip breaks down why so many of us stay stuck in the same cycles. Not because we don't know what to do, but because we've gotten too comfortable choosing easy over committed. Chip digs into why shifting blame never leads to progress, how the labels you accept become the limits you live under, and why the standards you hold yourself to matter more than the excuses you repeat. He shares personal stories, real-life callouts, and the mindset shift that helps you stop waiting for the perfect moment and start building momentum today.

In this episode of Addicted to Recovery, hosts Christopher White and Max Thomas sit down with Simon, a long-time listener attending the show for the first time. Simon opens up about growing up in a loving and stable home, yet always feeling different, overly sensitive, and deeply uncomfortable in his own skin. As a child he experienced night terrors, sleepwalking, and early anxiety, eventually seeing a psychiatrist at just seven years old. Those feelings of not fitting in followed him into secondary school, where he struggled with identity, belonging, and self-worth.Simon shares how he discovered alcohol at thirteen and instantly fell in love with its ability to change how he felt about himself. From there his drug use progressed quickly—first cannabis, then speed, ecstasy and cocaine. By sixteen he was dealing to fund his habit. Although he tried at times to manage his using, especially once he became a father, alcohol remained constant. After his marriage broke down, his drinking and drug use intensified, leading him deeper into addiction.The turning point came at forty, when a dealer encouraged him to try crack cocaine. What followed was rapid decline: secret using, smoking crack while caring for his children, constant obsession, and repeated attempts to stop that only pushed him further down. Eventually he reached a devastating emotional and spiritual bottom, even attempting to overdose. During a desperate moment in “Dry January,” he reached out to a friend in recovery who took him to his first meeting. Simon describes feeling an immediate sense of safety and connection the moment he walked through the door.From that day, he has remained clean. Simon threw himself into the 12-step program, finding deep healing through the steps, especially in his moral inventory and amends. He shares powerful moments with his children, ex-wife, and parents—conversations filled with truth, vulnerability, and forgiveness. Today, with over 22 months clean, Simon lives a completely different life. He maintains regular meetings, service commitments, daily gratitude, and prayer. His relationships with his kids are strong, co-parenting is harmonious, his career has progressed, and even his brother has begun changing his own relationship with substances.This episode highlights the reality of addiction's progression, the pain it causes families, and the extraordinary transformation recovery can bring. Simon's story is one of honesty, humility, and real hope.

James Kimmel, Jr., PhD, is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine and the author of The Science of Revenge. He’s known in part for identifying compulsive revenge seeking as an addiction. He explains how perceived wrongs, grievances, and revenge desires—and how we deal with them, or not—affect us all. Actually trying to get revenge is pretty much always a lost cause—it simply makes us feel worse—but often, blanket forgiveness feels impossible. Which is why Kimmel came up with a simple but brilliant process that you can run through in the courtroom of your mind.

What do you do when the person you love most is trapped in addiction—and you realize you're powerless to change them?  This conversation is going to share the raw truth about addiction and codependency that many Christians are not able to say out loud. The crazy-cycle is real in a home or a marriage where there is addiction. And learning to love someone who is addicted will take grace and wisdom that can only come from God. After living in the crazy-cycle for years, things started to make sense after Yvonne's husband revealed his addiction to pornography and drugs. But even after the truth came out, nothing would ever be the same again. As her husband entered a recovery process, Yvonne began her journey of uncovering her need to please and take care of others, and her drive to live a life of performance and perfection.  She needed to change just as much as her husband needed to change. Listen as Lynn Roush, LPC and Yvonne Bernard pull back the curtain on 5 pervasive myths Christians believe about addiction, the needed boundaries that will save your sanity, and the one truth that can offer you lasting peace. If you've ever felt stuck on the crazy-cycle of loving an addict, this hope-filled conversation is for you.
