44: Why Porn Addiction Destroys Motivation and What to Do About It

Today, I’m going to teach you why porn addiction destroys motivation, and what you can do about it. 

During the decade I struggled with addictions to porn and masturbation, I constantly regretted how I was squandering my potential. I felt like the times I was clean of porn I could do pretty well in life - I was productive in school, at work, my relationships were better, I was friendlier. 

But during the times that I struggled with porn addiction, all of that seemed to disappear, or at least to suffer. I thought “If I could only stop watching porn and masturbating, I could get my motivation back and accomplish things”. Not that I accomplished nothing, but I knew I was capable of far more than what I was doing. 

Motivation is one of the main things we need to overcome porn addiction. And…overcoming porn addiction is one of the main things we need to feel motivated.

This can make for a pain-staking cycle. 

When we become addicted to porn, we can become sapped of drive and zest for life. We feel a lack of enthusiasm and love for what once excited us. 

To break free of porn addiction, we need to feel that enthusiasm and love so we can fill the hole inside of us. 

This can seem impossible for many of us addicts, and we wonder how we could ever escape such an endless cycle of needing motivation to overcome, and needing to overcome to feel motivated.

In today's episode, I'll teach you how.
