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.

28: My Conversion & Recovery Story | How I Quit Porn with God's Help

I’m going to tell you how I quit porn. I’ll talk about some very crucial turning points in my life that led to both my porn addiction recovery (and recovery from other addictions) as well as my conversion to Jesus Christ.
I grew up in a Christian family - traditional Christian values, parents dedicated to their faith, very conservative. Porn, to say the least, was not considered a “normal thing to watch” in my household.
At 13 years old I began looking at porn. It started slow and over the years became more and more extreme.
I knew that pornography could cause harm to the brain. I didn’t understand the true significance of that though - the things using porn could do like creating anxiety, depression, motivation issues, and screwing up views of women, relationships, and sex.
By 17 years old I was slowly going downhill. My addiction to porn had expanded into drugs, alcohol, sex, and also illegal behaviors.
I had a lot of potential. I grew up in a good family and plenty of advantages. But because of the many insecurities I had, my lack of knowledge of how to deal with them in a productive way, and my subsequent use of porn to escape, I was destroying my capacity to do good in the world.
I was so far gone and didn’t know how to get back. I was so far that I really didn’t know I needed TO GET BACK. To where? I thought I was doing just fine.
I wasn’t.
To overcome porn addiction was an immense task, filled with complexities and challenges. I lacked the capacity to do it myself. When I was 17 years old, I had an experience that would change the trajectory of my life forever.
