Summary
“Porn is not the problem for us,” I write in my book. “It’s the solution.” It may feel like the problem in your life that needs to be fixed. But if you’re using porn there is a need that is driving it. It’s a solution.
This is part 2 in our series, The Choice is Yours.

| 0:00.0 | Porn Free Radio Episode 327. Hey, this is Matt. We're celebrating 10 years of porn free radio |
| 0:07.1 | over the next 10 episodes. Episode 335 will be released on our 10th anniversary, April 30th, |
| 0:15.4 | 2024. If you have a story about hope and action you took from the podcast, send me an email at |
| 0:21.9 | at recoveredman.com. I'll be reading your letters on that show. Well, welcome back, and this is |
| 0:30.7 | part two of the choice is yours. And we started this in episode 326, this little series. |

| 0:43.9 | Do we see porn as a problem in our life, or do we see it as a solution? |
| 0:51.3 | And you might be asking, Matt, what do you mean do I see it as a solution? |

| 1:20.4 | how you look at your relationship with it, is really crucial to recovery. And I propose that it's more helpful |
| 1:30.9 | to look at as a solution, |
| 1:33.0 | something you go to to solve other problems in your life |
| 1:36.9 | if you wanna eliminate it. |
| 1:38.9 | Because if you only look at it as the problem, |
| 1:42.7 | if you start to get sober, if you cut it out of your life, |
| 1:45.9 | you'll still have all those things in your life that are driving the behavior. And those |
| 1:51.9 | are the things that are going to keep you relapsing. But as always, the choice is yours. |
