Welcome to the Pure Desire podcast, where we partner with you toor, and we are so thankful that you're taking the time out of your day to hang out with us.

I'm here with our guest and my co-host, Nick Stumbo, and today we're going to be talking through one of our tools that we use here at Pure Desire, the faster scale.

Nick and I have both had experience using this tool,

and we want to talk about what it is, how to use it, and why it works. Nick, thanks for being here.

How are you doing? I'm doing great, and it's really exciting to be back, excited to think about

people that might be listening now to our second podcast. That means they stuck with us. They

believe in us. So thank you for all you

who are listening. We hope this continues to be a growing experience for you to be a part of this

journey. Amen to that. And then we're done. Episode over. No, just kidding. Okay. So the faster scale

is one of those things in peer desire, really that we talk about a lot. It's a tool that we

referenced so much. And so really what we want to do today is just clarify what it is and really

just talk about it. So you're ready to get into it? Yeah, it really is a foundational tool. In fact,

I've had a number of guys in my groups through the years who said to me, learning and understanding

the faster scale was worth the price of admission.

Now, the groups are free, so that price isn't real high, but you know what they're saying is that

that that understanding was worth all the time and effort they put into this process.

Well, let's get into it. What is the faster scale tool and where did it originate?

Yeah, the faster scale is a behavioral and emotional awareness tool that really serves to prevent relapses.

Most people are aware of what they do. They're not always aware of why.

I think particularly for men, we know when we've crossed that line of doing what we promised we wouldn't do,

and that's where the red morning lights go off and the danger signs.

Like, I can't believe I did that again.
