Summary
What happens after a slip-up can determine whether you stay stuck or finally make real progress. In this episode, I break down why slip-ups do not mean failure and how your response afterward can either keep you trapped in shame or become one of the most powerful tools for lasting change.
I walk you through the four essential steps to handling slip-ups differently. You’ll learn how to stop repeating the same cycle and start using slip-ups as opportunities for growth. This episode will help you replace shame with curiosity, understand what is really fueling your habit, and create a more effective plan for overcoming pornography for good.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, episode 277, what to do when you slip up. |
| 0:09.0 | Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn. |
| 0:19.7 | This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and |
| 0:23.6 | thousands of lives. I'm your host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this |
| 0:31.6 | week. I am so glad you're here. I say that every week, but I really am so glad you're here. |
| 0:37.4 | I really want to address what to do when you slip up. I say that every week, but I really am so glad you're here. I really want to address |
| 0:38.5 | what to do when you slip up. Okay, this is so important because what you do after you slip up |
| 0:46.7 | will determine whether or not you're able to quit for good. What you do after you slip up is the |

| 1:53.5 | master class. But really quickly, like if we're going to talk about those, so accountability |
| 1:57.2 | apps, that's totally just a Band-Aid solution because all it does is it just blocks |
