You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, episode 18, self-concept and addiction.

Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn.

This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and

thousands of lives. I'm your host, Sarah Brewer. Hey everyone, I hope you're having a great week.

Welcome to the podcast episode this week. I'm really excited to share this topic of self-concept and addiction with you. Now,

we've already had a whole podcast episode on addiction and the term addicted. And, you know,

we really dive into, am I addicted? And we talk about the criteria of addiction and how to know

if you're actually addicted. And the pros and cons of using that

label for yourself.

Y'all know my opinion is that we use the term addiction way too liberally in our culture.

And that's okay, but I want to dive into this a little bit more.

This is kind of part two.

We're going to talk about

addiction and we're just going to talk about your whole self concept in general and why that is

such an important thing to be aware of when you're trying to quit pornography. Really quick

before we dive into all of that, I just want to share a review that was left on my Apple podcast platform says Sarah has the most empowering

view when overcoming pornography. I've struggled with porn habits on and off my whole life and

every person I've spoken to has provided me the same thoughts and views that have never really

worked long term. Sarah's podcast helps introduce new ideas that will

help change the way you view yourself and your struggles. Great podcast. Thank you so much for leaving

that review for me. I say this every episode, but I'm so appreciate it. I just wish I could give you

all, you know, a big personal thank you and a thank you card for leaving
