Summary
Have you ever felt like you have to quit pornography perfectly or not at all? Many people fall into the trap of believing it’s all or nothing—total success or complete failure. This mindset creates pressure, shame, and burnout, making it even harder to follow through. Real change doesn’t come from perfection; it comes from persistence.
The compound effect teaches that meaningful results come from small, consistent actions that add up over time. Just like investing a little each month or lifting slightly heavier weights builds incredible long-term growth, quitting pornography happens through steady progress. You’ll learn how to shift from an all-or-nothing mindset to one focused on growth and consistency.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, episode 250. |
| 0:06.6 | Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn. |
| 0:17.4 | This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of lives. I'm your |
| 0:23.3 | host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this week. I am so excited, so glad |
| 0:31.2 | that you're here. Thanks so much for being here. Before we dive into the content today, I wanted to |
| 0:35.7 | share a win with you. Often, I will share a podcast review, which I'll probably keep doing in the future. |
| 0:41.5 | And I love and I appreciate those so much. |
| 0:43.7 | But we also have this big document that is full of all of the wins that my clients have. |
| 0:50.1 | And anytime they email me or email one of my assistants or share one with us, we put it in this big document. |
| 0:56.9 | And they're just so, so awesome and so fun to read through. |
| 0:59.8 | And I was reading through some of them before I got on to share this podcast. |
| 1:05.3 | And there were a bunch of new ones that I hadn't seen before. |
| 1:07.3 | And I wanted to share these. |
| 1:08.4 | It's so important for me to take time to celebrate those of you |
| 1:13.7 | who are doing it and to celebrate those of you who are accomplishing your goals and making progress. |
| 1:19.9 | One of the best things I learned this last year is that celebration brings more celebrations. |
| 1:27.2 | Celebration is the same energy as gratitude. And we know that when we're |
| 1:31.6 | grateful, we see more things to be grateful for. And so I always want to share these because I want |
| 1:37.6 | you guys to see what's possible for you. I want to help create some momentum, some more belief. |
| 1:46.8 | I mean, honestly, right? So many people struggle with porn because they struggle with the belief that they can actually do it. But it's because people don't talk about when they are able to quit. There are so many people who do quit. We just don't talk about it. And so it's hard to have that belief when you haven't really heard anyone else who's been able to quit even though there are so many people who can and do. So let me share |
| 2:02.4 | this one. One of my clients, one of the members of the program said, |
| 2:05.5 | they said, I saw a win. I am having more urges to eat yummy looking food than I am having |
