What have you tried so far to quit porn? Accountability buddies, talk therapy, internet filters, church or religious programs, or mindfulness techniques to 'get rid of cravings'… Many of these have merit, but they're often missing key elements for long-lasting sobriety. It isn’t enough to just “stop watching porn”. Porn addiction is a symptom of deeper, underlying challenges that I address using evidence-based psychological and behavioral practices.

My mission isn't just to help people overcome porn addiction, but to give them each step to establish a recovery mindset and lifestyle. This is done using hands-on, daily exercises that retrain the brain and forge new habits that last a lifetime. Once this mindset and lifestyle are established, the desire for porn naturally fades.

    166: Prodependence vs. Codependency | Porn Addiction, Betrayal Trauma & Relationship Recovery with Dr. Rob Weiss
    Oct 7 2026
    What happens to a marriage when porn addiction, sexual betrayal, secrecy, and broken trust have changed the way two people relate to each other? And is codependency always the best framework for understanding the betrayed spouse—or could there be a healthier way to think about love, attachment, and relationship recovery?In this episode of the No More Desire Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rob Weiss to explore prodependence vs. codependency, betrayal trauma, porn addiction recovery, and what it takes for couples to begin moving toward trust and connection again.Dr. Rob has spent decades working with sex addiction, compulsive sexual behavior, infidelity, betrayed partners, and relationship recovery. One of the central ideas behind his prodependence model is that dependence itself is not necessarily unhealthy. Human beings are designed to need one another. Healthy relationships involve leaning on each other, receiving support, and staying connected through difficulty.That becomes especially important in porn addiction and marriage.For the man in recovery, it can be tempting to focus almost entirely on sobriety: I'm doing better now. Why can't she see how much I've changed? Why is she still angry? Why doesn't she trust me yet?But stopping the behavior and rebuilding trust after porn addiction are not the same process.In our conversation, Dr. Rob explains why a betrayed spouse may continue experiencing fear, anger, and hypervigilance long after a man begins changing. We talk about why defensiveness often makes relationship repair harder, how empathy can become part of recovery, and why your spouse should not have to become your recovery coach.We also explore something I believe every man in recovery needs to understand: your childhood wounds, trauma, loneliness, rejection, marriage problems, or emotional pain may help explain why pornography became an escape—but they do not remove your responsibility for the choices you make today.Recovery requires compassion, but it also requires ownership.One of the ideas I appreciated most in this conversation is that recovery is not ultimately about becoming a man who needs nobody. It is about learning how to need people well.Pornography can offer a counterfeit form of connection without vulnerability, responsibility, conflict, or emotional risk. Real intimacy asks much more from us. It asks us to tell the truth, stay present, tolerate discomfort, accept accountability, repair what we have damaged, and allow ourselves to be known.That is difficult work—but it is also where deeper recovery begins.Want to learn more about Rob?

    165: Fatherhood and Porn Addiction Recovery | How Your Healing Can Change the Next Generation
    Sep 30 2026
    Porn addiction recovery is about more than learning how to stop watching porn. Over time, I have come to believe that real recovery asks a much deeper question: What kind of man am I becoming?In this conversation with Chris Bruno on The Restorative Man Podcast, I share parts of my own story with pornography addiction, anxiety, perfectionism, emotional avoidance, marriage, and fatherhood. We explore how the patterns beneath addiction can continue even after pornography is gone, and why lasting recovery involves learning how to relate differently to stress, emotions, sexuality, relationships, responsibility, and God.Fatherhood has made this work even more meaningful to me. The healthier my relationship becomes with my own anger, fear, shame, sexuality, and vulnerability, the better equipped I am to help my sons develop a healthy relationship with theirs. If I want them to grow up knowing they can talk openly about their emotions, bodies, sexuality, mistakes, and struggles, that kind of safety has to begin long before the difficult conversations arrive.We also talk about what this means inside marriage. Porn recovery eventually shows up in the way we listen, handle criticism, work through resentment, take ownership, sacrifice for the people we love, and remain present when relationships become uncomfortable. Sobriety matters, but recovery becomes far more complete when it begins transforming the way we actually live.Porn Addiction Recovery Is More Than Behavior ChangeOne of the most important lessons from my own recovery has been recognizing that pornography was not the only issue. Long before I understood what was happening, I was already using things like entertainment, food, and eventually sexual content to calm an anxious nervous system and escape internal pressure.That changed how I began approaching recovery. Instead of only asking how to stop the behavior, I began paying attention to what I was trying to escape, what emotions were underneath the craving, and what kind of life I needed to build so I no longer depended on constant external relief.This is what I mean by developing a recovery mindset and recovery lifestyle.Your Emotional Recovery Changes the Way You FatherOne of the themes Chris and I explore deeply is the connection between our own emotional healing and what we are able to give our children.If my son learns that anger can be talked about, sadness can be expressed, mistakes can be repaired, and difficult questions do not threaten our relationship, I am helping build a foundation where sexuality does not have to become secret either.My goal is not to raise sons who never experience sexual desire, confusion, temptation, or exposure to pornography. My goal is to help create the kind of relationship where they know those experiences can be brought into the light without shame.That begins with the everyday relationship we create now.Recovery Will Eventually Show Up in Your MarriageI also share how marriage revealed parts of my addictive mindset that pornography sobriety alone had not resolved.For me, this included defensiveness, perfectionism, obsessive thinking, difficulty listening, and the impulse to immediately fix or control uncomfortable situations. Learning to regulate my own emotions has helped me become more capable of listening to my wife, understanding her experience, and staying connected even when something she shares is difficult for me to hear.This is why I believe recovery becomes visible in our relationships. The goal is not merely to become a man who no longer watches pornography. It is to become a man who can remain present, connected, honest, responsible, and grounded when life becomes uncomfortable.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you’re tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

    164: Why Your Past Matters if You Want to Quit Porn | The Neuroscience of Storywork and 7 Ways to Heal Porn Addiction
    Sep 23 2026
    What does your past have to do with porn addiction recovery?Maybe you’ve wondered why you need to dig into your childhood, emotions, family relationships, or old wounds when the problem seems simple: you want to quit porn.I understand that question. But the deeper I’ve gone in my own recovery—and the more men I’ve worked with—the more convinced I’ve become that pornography addiction is rarely just about sexual desire.For many of us, porn became a way of coping long before we understood what we were doing. It helped us escape loneliness, inadequacy, stress, fear, powerlessness, shame, or emotional pain we didn’t yet know how to name.That is where storywork can become incredibly valuable.In this episode, I explore the psychology and neuroscience behind storywork and why understanding your past can help you recognize the emotional triggers, beliefs, nervous system patterns, and survival strategies that continue to affect your porn addiction recovery today.This is not about blaming your childhood or using your past as an excuse.It is about understanding your story well enough that you can stop unconsciously repeating it.I walk through seven ways storywork can support recovery, including how it can help you bring hidden patterns into awareness, identify difficult emotions, understand your porn triggers, reduce shame, develop self-compassion, and begin building an identity that is no longer organized around addiction.You’ll also learn why storywork needs to be more than an intellectual exercise. Healing often requires slowing down enough to actually feel what you felt, put language around it, and experience difficult emotions without immediately escaping from them.One of the most important questions I invite you to consider is:What was happening in your life when porn first began becoming important to you?What were you feeling?What did porn give you—or help you avoid?Those questions are not meant to excuse the choices you’ve made. They can help you understand them well enough to start making different choices now.Recovery is about far more than fighting urges. It is about becoming increasingly grounded, emotionally aware, connected, compassionate, responsible, and capable of leading yourself through the places you once needed to escape.If you want to go deeper into this kind of work, the men inside the No More Desire Academy are currently working through a structured storywork process that includes the Seed Story, Survival Story, Sexual Story, Shadow Story, and Sobriety Story.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, the free online community, my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you’re tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.
