I get a ton of email about relapse. Immediately after a relapse guys send me questions trying to figure out what went wrong. Or sometimes they are trying to figure out what series of behaviors constitutes relapse. All that and more as we spend the 1st of 2 episodes on relapse.

In this episode you'll learn:

- What relapse means
- When it begins and more importantly when it ends
- How we can take ownership
- How to assess what happened
- Why relapse can be a gift

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

If we’ve left the country where porn controls our life, how can we still live in our old house there? For many the desire to change is followed by this struggle. We have packed up and moved for good and yet we still want to go back and try and live in our old house. We want to revisit old habits. Matt just completed an actual move so the metaphor is top of mind for our journey out of porn.

Looking back at my recovery process, I wouldn't change much. The missteps and relapses helped me strengthen my plan. I learned a lot from my mistakes. But I realize now there were something in those early days that I could of done which would of shaved years off of the process. Mind you it's not something easy.

Christian guys make up the majority of my audience and Christians have some compelling reasons to want to eliminate porn from their lives. It's in direct conflict with the teachings of Jesus.

In Jesus' most famous sermon he said, "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Jesus equates this act of looking at a women with lustful intent as being the same as breaking the 7th commandment, "You shall not commit adultery."

But knowing what’s right and doing something about are two different things.

Christian guys bring some strengths to our porn free community and also some blind spots. I cover them both here and have some advice for taking action.
