High Noon September 14, 2022

A lot of people are going through a phase in which they believe that their unhealthy habits are valuable and that they benefit from them when, in reality, it is only causing destruction in their lives and preventing them from becoming the person they want to be. When we are aware that porn can have a bad impact on our lives and on our path to sexual integrity, we will not turn to it whenever we are feeling stressed or anxious; rather, we will learn to build a healthy habit that is genuinely valuable and from which we can significantly benefit.

In this episode, Andrew and Benjy talk about the difference between being intolerant of porn and being allergic to it, the reasons why less porn leads to more porn, as well as how our small decisions can have a big impact on our lives. They also discuss the High Noon programs that can help us with our struggles, such as addiction to porn.
