You are listening to Overcome Pornography for Good following through with your new year's goals.

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, happy holidays. I hope that everyone is having a lovely break if you're taking a break for

the holidays. A couple of years ago, I shared a podcast episode on how to

follow through with your New Year's goals and it got so many great responses. People found it really

helpful. I decided to reshare it this year right here around Christmas. You know, some of us avoid

setting New Year's goals because of the negative connotations we have with it where it's something that I commit to for two months and then I'm out. So, which I totally get, been there, done that. So I'm in this episode going to give you some tips that will help you immensely as you are sitting on and reflecting what you would like this next year to look like, what goals you would

like to make. Of course, this will apply if you are stuck in that. And if you can hear a little

bell jingle in the background, that's my cat walking around. She followed me. She followed me

and she wants to hang out while I'm recording the podcast. So this especially applies if you are in that category of individuals that, and like so many of us,

right, say, I'm going to quit porn, I'm going to quit porn, I'm going to quit porn, and then give in a

couple months later or a couple weeks later, whatever that looks like. I'm going to, in this episode,

talk about how to get out of that cycle. So enjoy, enjoy this episode.

Hope you all have an amazing Christmas or whatever holiday it is that you celebrate. And we'll

talk to you next week. Bye bye.

I want to start today by talking about the new year because when this is released, it'll be

just a few days before the new year because when this is released, it'll be just a few days before the new year. And

specifically, what I want to talk about is how to stay committed to our New Year's goals.

Because, right, that's what we always hear. And those are the memes around New Year's,

is people go to the gym for a couple weeks and then the gym's empty again, right? And I want to address that. And especially if your goal, if something you want is to quit porn, I want to help you stay committed to that so that you can actually make it happen. What's amazing about the new year is that there is this surge of energy and we want to use it.
