Summary
It today's episode we talk about over-desire. Over-desire is the reason that your urges feel automatic. Over-desire can be un-trained and un-learned. We talk about how in the show.
You'll also learn my method for deciding if someone is addicted to pornography or not. I define addiction as a behavior that keeps you from living a normal, functioning life. Many of you call yourselves addicts even though you don't fit this description. I talk about why that might be harmful to you in this episode.
As a celebration for the launch of the show, I am giving away one free adult electric scooter and three $50 Amazon gift cards. For details on entering the giveaway, go to sarabrewer.com/podcastlaunch

| 0:06.6 | desire. Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, |
| 0:13.3 | trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn. This approach has been revolutionary |

| 0:27.5 | All right, here we go. This episode is all about over-desire, and it's fixing the root of your |
| 0:33.8 | pornography problem over a desire. In the last episode, we talked about fixing the root of |
| 0:39.5 | escape, this constant need to escape your emotions and pornography as that escape and how to |
| 0:45.9 | handle that, what to do about that. We're going to talk about over desire today. So over desire |
| 0:52.3 | is the reason that you feel strong urges. |
| 0:56.2 | It's the reason that they might feel irresistible. |
| 0:58.9 | Over desire is the reason that you might have witching hours. |
| 1:02.3 | So maybe a lot of you want to look at pornography between the hours of 10 and 12. |

| 1:11.7 | the morning or maybe in the afternoon, right? It's different for everyone. It's because you've |
| 1:15.7 | trained your brain to want it at that specific time, but over-desire is the reason for those |
| 1:20.9 | witching hours. Over-desire is the reason that it feels so addictive and that has addictive |
| 1:26.5 | properties. And I use the word, |
| 1:29.2 | I just want to mention this, I use the word addiction so, so, so sparingly. Okay, I always tell |
