Listen to the last episode:
In today’s episode of the "Porn to Purpose" podcast, I’m joined by Coach Yeadon. We’re tackling one of the most pressing questions for those on the journey to recovery: "How long does it take to quit porn?" Together, we dive deep into the myths, the science, and the personal experiences that reveal why recovery is a lifelong journey rather than a quick fix.
Coach Yeadon and I unpack the misleading 90-day rule, the myths behind habit formation, and the importance of a fundamental shift in perspective—from seeing porn as a sin to understanding it as a coping mechanism. We also emphasize the significance of active recovery over mere sobriety, and why ongoing diligence is crucial for long-term success. This episode is packed with honest insights, relatable stories, and practical advice for anyone seeking freedom from porn.
