You think you're hiding it.But they know. And your mom and wife love you anyway—for who you really are.

How Long Does It Take to Recover from Porn Relapse? ⏳

Struggling with urges and cravings after a stressful event? You're not alone. In this episode, I break down exactly what happens in your brain during these moments and, more importantly, how you can prevent relapse and recover if you've slipped.

Do you find yourself making sexual comments without even realizing it?Or maybe someone has pointed it out to you? This could be a sign of something deeper—hypersexuality. Your brain has been conditioned by explicit content, rewiring your thoughts, speech, and behaviors. In this video, I'll break down how pornography and sexual media shape your brain, leading to compulsive sexual thinking and speech. More importantly, I'll show you how to reset your pleasure pathways and regain control.

Are you feeling anxious, distracted, unmotivated, or depressed? Your porn habit might be the hidden culprit.

When your husband is addicted to porn, you can feel powerless to stop it. You may ask: How do I stop my husband from watching porn? Is there something I can say or do that will convince him? If only I could find the right words, maybe he would finally feel motivated and stop hurting me and our family like this.  Anger and feeling the impulse to control him is normal. Feeling judgmental, hateful, and appalled by his behavior is normal too. You wish you knew what to do, and you can't help feeling sometimes that it's your fault he's doing this. Other times, you blame him for everything and think that all of the problems in your marriage are because of his porn problem. Perhaps you experience feelings of worthlessness or confusion. How could he do this to me? Am I not enough for him? Why does he turn to this, instead of loving me? The betrayal trauma of having a spouse with porn addiction is real, and subsequent symptoms of PTSD are common. Your husband has broken your trust in a significant way, and feelings like numbness, hyper-vigilance, codependence, and anger are all common. Build the No More Porn LifestyleFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramJoin My Email NewsletterBuy Me a CoffeeMORE EPISODESSelf-Control & Porn Addiction | Why Willpower Always FailsHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 StepsChristianity and Porn Addiction | How to Overcome Sexual & Religious ShameHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn RelapseThe 4 Root Causes of Porn AddictionThe Porn Addiction Funnel: How To Break Porn AddictionMUSIC:Bensound.comIevgen Poltavskyi - PixabayDELOSound - PixabayMikhail Smusev - Pixabay Eye-Opening Moments PodcastEye-Opening Moments are stories of adversity, encounters, and perspectives.

We're tackling one of the most pressing questions for those on the journey to recovery: "How long does it take to quit porn?"

Porn Brain is REAL: How Porn Rewires Your Mind & Keeps You Stuck

What if discipline could be effortless? In this episode of Early to Rise Radio, I break down the three effortless discipline systems that eliminate bad habits, supercharge productivity, and help you get rich and ripped without relying on willpower. Learn how to escape the “doom loop” of procrastination, distractions, and self-sabotage by using simple yet… The post 406 – The Level 10 Discipline Formula: How to Quit Porn, Break Addictions, and Get Rich appeared first on Early To Rise.

Quitting porn is a process, not an event. If you've realized that porn addiction is holding you back—causing anxiety, depression, ED, low motivation, and relationship issues—it's time to break free.In this video, I'll guide you through the 3 essential phases of quitting porn for good:

There are a lot of voices out there telling you that all you need to quit porn addiction is more discipline. They say you just have to want it bad enough, fight hard enough, and exert enough self-control. But if you've ever tried to stop watching porn using willpower alone, you already know—it doesn't work. In fact, relying on willpower actually fuels porn addiction. Today, I'm going to show you why, and more importantly, what works instead.Willpower Is a Symptom of Recovery, Not the Cause of ItWe are taught that staying strong, thinking positively, and being highly motivated are the keys to quitting porn. But here's the problem—these are not the causes of recovery; they are the results of it.Real recovery from pornography addiction is not about forcing yourself to resist urges. It's about becoming the kind of person who naturally doesn't need porn anymore. Willpower alone won't get you there. Instead, lasting freedom requires both “will” and “power.” These don't come from sheer effort but from creating a new way of living that removes the underlying causes of porn addiction in the first place.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramJoin My Email NewsletterBuy Me a CoffeeMORE EPISODESMy Wife Ignores My Progress with Porn Addiction | Relationship Struggles, Lack of Trust & Betrayal TraumaWhy Doesn't God Take My Porn Addiction?The Science Behind Porn Addiction—and How to StopChildhood Trauma, Porn Addiction & Seeking Safety in Pleasure and EscapeHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 StepsStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsThe Porn Addiction Funnel: How To Break Porn AddictionMusic by Bensound.comFaith That Challenges.

Why doesn't God take away your porn addiction? People tell you to give your addiction to Christ, and it doesn't seem to work for you. Why? I remember how frustrated I used to be by this concept of giving my addiction over to Christ. People advised me to simply surrender to Christ and that was the answer to get sober. But it didn't work for me. I thought this might be because God didn't love me, didn't care, or that I was simply too sinful a person. I've worked with men across the world who struggle with these beliefs, and I've helped them find success in porn addiction recovery. The key is not to simply give your addiction to Christ, but to understand how to successfully integrate truths and approaches from spirituality, religion, and psychology to provide a powerful force for quitting porn. By combining methods from both psychology and faith, you can overcome porn addiction. I did it myself and I teach men across the world to do the same. Empowering Recovery Through Effective Spiritual & Psychological PracticesRegular spiritual practice is a catalyst for growth in all other areas of your life. It acts as a driving force for positive growth in your sobriety, relationships, career, health, ambition, and more.This article will give you insights into why spirituality and faith are so crucial for recovery, how to include both psychology and God in overcoming porn addiction, and common mistakes that addicts make when asking God to help them quit porn.BUILD THE NO MORE PORN LIFESTYLEFREE WORKSHOP: The 8 Keys to Lose Your Desire for PornFREE EBOOK: The 10 Tools to Conquer Porn CravingsSchedule a Free ConsultationIntensive Porn Addiction Recovery ProgramJoin My Email NewsletterBuy Me a CoffeeMORE EPISODESChristianity and Porn Addiction | How to Overcome Sexual & Religious ShameHow to Tell Your Wife About Your Porn RelapseHow to Help Someone with a Porn Addiction in 3 StepsStop Porn Cravings | 7 Tools to Overcome Fantasizing & Lust HabitsMusic by Bensound.comFaith That Challenges.

How Childhood Trauma Fuels Your Porn AddictionHave you ever felt like something was missing—like there's a hole in your heart you can't quite explain?

Today, I'm joined by Owen Marcus, an expert in somatic and emotional healing for men across the world. His company is called MELD. He is highly knowledgeable, with 30+ years of experience, and it was a real pleasure speaking with him. Many of us men struggle to express our emotions. It's classic! What we may not know, though, is that unprocessed hard emotions can easily evolve into porn cravings and porn relapse. Anger and shame (the feeling of not being good enough) often drove my cravings for porn. And I hadn't a clue this was happening!This skill of noticing your emotions, processing through them, and being able to sit with them when they're uncomfortable is crucial for recovery from porn addiction. This is because from a psychological perspective, hard emotions and insecurities (and I know that's a swearword for a lot of us men) are at the root of our porn addiction. In my program, I teach men specific methods to get deep into these emotions, reflect on them, and become experts at effectively working through them so that these fundamental human insecurities don't evolve into cravings for porn.

In Episode 265, Mark & Steve discuss how recovery from porn and sex addiction often begins with external motivators, such as wanting to “get clean for her” or save a relationship. These external pressures serve as a crucial starting point, especially when addicts feel incapable of self-driven change. However, while these motivations may bring someone to the recovery process, they alone are insufficient for long-term success. Sustained recovery requires a shift toward internal motivation, where individuals focus on long-term sobriety, self-improvement, personal growth, and reclaiming their self-worth. This transition, while gradual, enables addicts to build a foundation of resilience, fueled by intrinsic rewards like freedom, self-respect, and authenticity.Here's a past PBSE podcast article that asks the question—As an Addict, are you “Weaponizing your Weaknesses” as a Reason to NOT Commit to and Live “Real” Recovery?For betrayed partners, navigating the complexities of recovery can be particularly challenging. The cyclical nature of progress and relapse often leads to emotional exhaustion, underscoring the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. Partners are encouraged to support recovery without taking ownership of the addict's journey, allowing them to decide what they are willing to tolerate. Recovery for couples requires open communication and mutual respect, creating opportunities to rebuild trust and foster collaboration. When both parties commit to growth, the relationship becomes stronger and more fulfilling over time.In a past PBSE podcast, Mark & Steve address a very painful question that betrayed partners often ask—Do I Have to Accept that my Addict Partner, even in Successful Recovery, could Betray Me Again?!Another critical misconception in recovery is the idea of hitting “rock bottom” as a prerequisite for change. While dramatic wake-up calls can sometimes prompt action, lasting recovery stems from deliberate decisions, education, and early intervention. Addicts are encouraged to develop a support network and focus on internal transformation rather than external pressure. Ultimately, recovery is a progressive and collaborative process. By embracing setbacks as opportunities for growth and fostering open communication, addicts and their partners can cultivate a life of integrity, authenticity, and connection.In this PBSE podcast episode, Mark & Steve help addicts in recovery and their betrayed partners in "Defining Slips & Relapses"For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to:  "As a Porn/sex Addict, does, "I Want to Get Clean for Her," or "Be Worthy of Her," work as a motive for Real Recovery?"Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at:  Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at:  Reclaim Counseling Services
