Summary
Have you been trying to quit pornography by fighting it? Many people approach this process like a battle, trying to resist urges, push them away, or overpower them with discipline and willpower. But when you treat urges like an enemy you need to defeat, it actually makes the process harder. Join me this week as I show you how surrendering to urges and the emotions beneath them can completely change the way you approach quitting porn. You will learn why willpower often backfires, how resisting emotions can make urges stronger, and why allowing yourself to feel uncomfortable emotions is a key step toward lasting freedom.
