No More Desire ™ Porn Addiction Recovery
What have you tried so far to quit porn? Accountability buddies, talk therapy, internet filters, church or religious programs, or mindfulness techniques to 'get rid of cravings'… Many of these have merit, but they're often missing key elements for long-lasting sobriety. It isn’t enough to just “stop watching porn”. Porn addiction is a symptom of deeper, underlying challenges that I address using evidence-based psychological and behavioral practices.
My mission isn't just to help people overcome porn addiction, but to give them each step to establish a recovery mindset and lifestyle. This is done using hands-on, daily exercises that retrain the brain and forge new habits that last a lifetime. Once this mindset and lifestyle are established, the desire for porn naturally fades.

69: Journey Out of Darkness | A Porn Addiction Story of Healing Through Empathy & Compassion
In today’s article, I’m going to share a story with you. One that I believe every porn addict can relate to.
This story is going to teach you how to heal porn addiction using loving and compassionate methods that, in my opinion, people don’t talk about enough.
It’s also going to teach you the truth about the underlying psychology and root causes of porn addiction.
This story will be told from the perspective of a father who is watching their son struggle with a pornography addiction. And regardless of whether you’re a parent to an addict, a spouse of an addict, or the addict themselves, I believe this story will help you. Above all, I hope it helps you feel seen, understood, and loved.
I based this story on a therapeutic experience I had in an IFS therapy session, where I came face to face with an ‘addict part’ of my mind and had a sacred interaction as best I can describe it.
That addict part of me became addicted to porn and masturbation when I was 12-years-old and had remained stuck in the shame and belief that it was unlovable, alone, and perceived as evil.
Many porn addicts have a part of their mind that is still there in the past - stuck in that bathroom or at that computer screen - believing horrible things about themselves.
If we can truly see ourselves and get in touch with the pain behind the porn addiction - showing ourselves compassion and love - I believe we can start to unravel that pain and overcome porn addiction using the proper recovery mindset and lifestyle tools.
