Join me in this transformative episode where I appeared on Sam Tieleman's podcast, 'Couples Healing From Pornography Addiction.' I share my journey of overcoming pornography addiction and discovering a deeply fulfilling life through mindfulness. We discuss the critical moments of rock bottom, the power of mindfulness in cultivating awareness and equanimity, and the importance of building a life filled with inner peace and fulfillment. Learn about the difference between white-knuckle abstinence and true sustainable recovery, practical mindfulness practices, and the profound transformation that comes from understanding one's emotions without escaping.
