Porn Free Radio

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- What "School's Out Syndrome" is
- Why it's a dangerous lie to us in recovery
- And 3 truths that counteract it

If you have been at recovery for a while you have probably had a "roller coaster week."

It's where you have some good recovery activities and momentum, then a relapse. How do we make sense of these ups and downs?

We've all been there. Whether it's at the mall, the grocery store, or even at church, we have these nagging lustful thoughts that come out of nowhere.

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

In this episode, Matt is joined by Scott from the Thursday night REV Group.

We discuss real strategies you can use to deal with this pattern and find freedom.

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

A topic that keeps coming up is edging. Edging are the little behaviors that mimic our old ways of acting out.

Hashtags, images searches, channel surfing, second looks, all fall into this category. They seem innocent compared to our old addiction. But they can spell trouble.

When looking for help with porn addiction, books seem like a safe way to learn. Especially when ordered online. But what do the search results from Amazon.com tell us about our porn addiction?

I saw some common themes in the books represented. I break down 3 types of the porn addiction books and ask the question: Do they help us recover or are they an excuse for not taking action?

In each Pornfree Radio podcast, a sale is made. Either you buy what I'm selling about being porn free or you sell me an excuse why you can't.

In this episode, we talk about the seven deadly excuses that come up when trying to quit porn.

DISCLAIMER: These excuses are not aimed at anyone specific. If they sound familiar it's because I hear them a lot.

I've talked to over sixty guys 1-on-1 this past year about their struggle with porn. When I asked what it has cost them, there is a common answer that comes up over and over again.

But is it the whole story? In this episode, we look at what they said and dig deeper.

In this episode:

- The #1 thing we say porn costs us
- How we dishonor our value with porn
- How porn overrides our lives
- How porn snowballs into the next day
- Why it robs us of our presence

Can I be a recovering porn addict and an artist at the same time? What about drawing nudes? Or what about art that is erotic? In the art world, the line between porn and art can be thin. In some cases, one person's "art" is another person's porn!

How can one balance being an artist, viewing art, drawing from life and avoid being triggered?

The nagging question after any relapse is 'Why?" Why did I look at porn when I was committed not to? Why did I look at porn even though it's harmful to my relationship? Why did I look at porn and put my job at risk?

There are two reasons that drive us to porn and they have little to do with brain science or our capacity for lust.

The post 068 How Long Does It Take To Quit Porn? appeared first on Recovered Man.

Direct download: pfr68.mp3
Category:Porn Free Radio -- posted at: 9:30pm CDT

Sometimes we discover that we just plain want to hang on porn. We want to be passive and put the responsibility of moving forward on someone else. But it's time to make a decision.

In Episode 66, I asked the question, "Do you really want to fix this?"

This episode struck a nerve with the audience. I received more email then I ever have before. Some guys were worried I was quitting podcasting. Several guys thought my sharp comments were directly at them. And many more shared the action they were taking as a result from this show.

So I thought I would go deeper into what set me off. It's the passive will and a failure to take responsibility.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- The quote that almost got me in a fight
- What we discover about our struggle
- What the passive will is
- About the decision we must make
- What it means to decide

"Sometimes we discover that we just plain want to hang on to the sinful behavior, and some of us even have to face the fact that we then hope to blame God for not "healing" us. We see right away when we are dealing with a passive will, someone who looks lumpishly to a counselor or minister of God to do what only he himself can do. All such things as these come to the fore, along with the memories of where the heart opened itself to envy, bitterness, lust and so on. Then in full confession of our sins of God, we acknowledge our rank foolishness and our propensities to pride and rebellion, and we make a decision about sin."

- Leanne Payne, The Healing Presence

In this episode you'll learn:

- Matt's favorite character from Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Common lies we believe when in relapse
- Warning signs of relapse
- How to avoid relapse
- Why bringing even small things into the light helps us
- Listener Question: What do you do when you're trying to sleep and lustful thoughts keep pounding your mind?

Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.

The second in our three-part series on Getting Started, focuses on asking for help. Whether it's a phone call, a text, or a face to face meeting we need to bring others into our struggle with pornography. Pornography addiction thrives in isolation and the way out is making connection. See episode 040 Getting Started Pt 1: Hitting Rock Bottom to listen from the beginning.

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. But if you can put in place and keep it, you're recovery will immediately go to the next level.

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.

When I started this podcast I wasn't sure who would join this community and go on this ride for me. I had been mostly doing this stuff with in my church and was used to working with Christian guys. But a good number of downloads came from guys who considered themselves non-religious. No mater what word you use, Agnostic, Atheist, Skeptic, Free Thinker, etc. there is hope for you to quit porn.
