Summary

This week is Father's day and it got me to thinking about my dad. My dad was a loving father who modeled integrity and humility. However he was very silent on the issue of sexuality and pornography. My dad struggled to talk with me about the issue of porn even as an adult. So you can imagine how lost I felt has a teenager and young man as I got swallowed up in addiction.

0:00.0	Porn Free Radio Episode 7. Welcome to Porn Free Radio. I'm Matt Dobschutes. Porn Free Radio is a new
0:08.8	podcast aimed at creating meaningful connections with people who want to get free from porn addiction.
0:15.1	This weekly podcast provides the tools and strategies to live 100% porn free.
0:21.8	In this episode, we'll talk about what my dad didn't tell me about porn.
0:26.0	Well, this week in America is a holiday called Father's Day.

0:40.7	And I thought of a story. And I mentioned in episode two, you can listen to it at
0:47.7	Pornfree Radio.com slash two. I told a story about how, uh, when I was unemployed, after a couple years of
0:59.3	porn addiction recovery, I found a way to act out. I was looking for a job. I was

1:38.5	And what I did was I burned a pornographic video to a VCD, CD-ROM, and it was something that could play in our
1:52.2	DVD player. So I came home and watched it and lost my sobriety. And I told about how I talked to
2:00.7	my wife about that and how powerful it was
2:02.9	when I talked to her and it kind of uncovered this lie that I believed about myself, about
