After a relapse have you ever wondered. "why did I do that?"

Regardless of who we are we are all driven to meet six human needs.

The first four needs show up commonly in our relapses and struggles. The last two needs emerge in our healthy recovery.

Have you ever thought, "Man, I'm hopeless..." Or "I'm not good with self-discipline..." Or when it comes to recovery, "If I can't do this perfect... I can't do it..."

Maybe you have the thought that your brain is broken or the devil is out to get you. Or maybe deep down, you wonder, "If people really knew me they would be disgusted."

If you have had those thoughts, you may have a B.S. problem. And here's the hard truth... you will never be porn free until you deal with your B.S.

On today's episode, we talk all about... your B.S.

Then I share tools to deal with each threat contributed by Pornfree Radio listeners.

http://recoveredman.com/147

Just curious... have you ever had to work from home? Maybe you have a flexible schedule that allows you to work at home. Or maybe it's a snow day or your home sick from work.

Is that a threat? Is it a challenge for you to stay porn free?

In part 1 of 2 episodes, we discuss how to work at home without relapsing.

With the podcast's emphasis on personal responsibility, it's easy to think the goal of recovery work is self-reliance. That in order to be strong we need to become emotionally self-reliant.

But this undermines our recovery work and delays emotional healing.

In this episode, I discuss the true goal of recovery.

On today's episode, I share Dave's 5 mistaken beliefs about porn. Dave was featured in PFR 138 when he reached the 2-year porn free milestone.

Earlier this week, he shared 5 mistaken beliefs he had with porn. I asked for his permission to share them with you now.

1.) The next change in my life will make it easier to quit porn.
2.) Porn compliments my sex life.
3.) Porn is a reward. It's "me time."
4.) Porn is a break from work. It's "a mind shot."
5.) Subscribing to porn sites is more efficient.

The post 132 – Motivation Pt. 1: The Myth of Self Discipline appeared first on Recovered Man.

Have you ever had something good happen in your life? A promotion? A birthday party? A big win? Then you looked at porn and everything came crashing down.

Maybe you got to a BIG recovery milestone like 30-days porn free. Only to look at porn again on day 31.

Or you maybe relapsed, got current with your wife and accountability group. Reset. Felt stable. Then inexplicably relapsed the very next day.

You may have an "Upper Limit Problem."

In this episode, you learn:

- What an Upper Limit Problem is
- How it affects recovery
- What are the mistaken beliefs it is built on
- How to get past it

You'll also learn 2 awesome tips from the guys in REV Group Coaching. Plus I weigh in on Harvey Weinstein and the #MeToo hashtag phenomenon.

The post 130 – Back 2 Basics: What Is Self Care? appeared first on Recovered Man.

Hugh Hefner was a callous, con man. He created the myth of “the playboy.” A rich man, who lived in his pajamas, worshipped by beautiful women. He sold his myth like Phillip Morris sold the Marlboro Man.

It was sex without consequences. Where women give without taking and never grow old. And we bought into it one masturbation session at a time. 

In this episode, I discuss his legacy and the "obviously wicked and destructive things" he left behind.

The post 128 – The Porn Free Plan That Never Fails Pt. 2 appeared first on Recovered Man.

On a recent writer's retreat I challenged myself to:

Capture the steps to being porn free (the actual steps)
Design a system that doesn't fail
Create a plan, that if followed, could work for anybody
In the first of 2 episodes, I share my journey discovering the The Porn Free Plan That Never Fails. I share the first two steps and explain why it took 11 years for me to go from step 1 to step 2.

It's 5 steps in all.

Part 2 is found in episode 128 and it contains the last 3 steps.

Enjoy.

Several years ago I participated in a men's weekend. It was a deep-dive counseling intensive. I'll admit it, I did beat on a drum at one point during the three days. But it was an incredible experience.

On Friday night, we had to answer 3 questions before the other men. I present the 3 questions for you now. Use these, this week, to lock in and focus your recovery.

- What "School's Out Syndrome" is

- And 3 truths that counteract it

Because of our history of porn use, we seem wired to sexualize people in our path.

Continuing our Back 2 Basics series, we review the tool of F.A.S.T.T. check-ins. This structured check-in process will anchor your recovery each week and improve your success.

This check-in format comes from Dr. Milton Magness. Its original use was for sex addicts and their partners after disclosure. However F.A.S.T.T. Check-ins provide a great framework for any kind of ongoing accountability.

The components of a F.A.S.T.T. Check-in include:

- Feelings
- Activities in Recovery
- Slip Report (or Sobriety Check)
- Threats
- Tools

The post 102 – How Do You Sustain Long-Term Sobriety? appeared first on Recovered Man.

In 1939, the most important recovery book of all time was written. It has sold more than 30 million copies!

However you won't find it when searching for "porn addiction" on Amazon.

And chances are you have never read it. But it's a powerful recovery document and should be part of every guy's toolbox.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- About the "Big Book"
- Why and for who it was written
- How the allergy of the body and obsession of the mind leads to powerlessness
- What it means to us as we recover from porn addiction
