Summary

Whatever you're trying to create in your life, you're going to face challenges and difficulties, and it won't be easy. The River of Misery doesn't sound great. However, it's all about accepting the misery so we can start moving through it.

I'm sharing the thoughts that make the River of Misery difficult to cross, and showing you how to see the patterns that are keeping you stuck so you can begin working on them and make it to the other side.

0:00.0	You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, episode 123, The River of Missouri.
0:06.9	Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed,
0:13.5	and results-focused approach to quitting porn. This approach has been revolutionary and changed
0:20.5	thousands and thousands of lives. I'm your host,
0:23.8	Sarah Brewer.
0:26.5	Hey, everyone. Welcome to our podcast today. Welcome to today's topic, River of Misery. I'm really
0:33.1	excited about this one. Doesn't that sound like just a really fun topic to talk about misery?
0:40.6	No, but it'll be really good. It's been coming up a lot in these what's possible interviews that I've
0:44.9	been doing. And I was thinking to myself, I'm like, hey, do I actually have a podcast episode on this
0:50.9	topic? I know I've talked about it in episodes. I know I've brought it up, but when I was
0:58.3	looking through all my podcasts, I was like, oh, I don't have a specific podcast titled The River
1:04.1	of Misery, where we really dive into it. So I'm really excited to share this with you. We talk about it
1:09.2	a lot in the program. It's really, really important to understand and know and will really make quitting porn a lot easier, which is a
1:17.9	little bit of a paradox because the River of Misery is all about accepting that it's miserable.
1:26.7	But anyway, and we'll get into all this in a minute, but it will
1:30.6	make it easier as you understand this concept. So it might be a little bit of a shorter
1:36.3	episode today, which I love. I am all about short episodes. I would way rather listen to something
1:42.6	that is condensed, short with like a ton of value
1:47.6	rather than something long packed with fluff.
1:51.0	And I mean, when you get me on my soapbox with this microphone, it's pretty easy for me just to
1:56.5	talk and talk and share and go on and on.
2:00.2	But I do.
