Summary

Do you see yourself as broken or an addict? Then this episode is for you.

Over the last 10 years, I have had a shift in my thinking; I have moved away from diagnosing and pathologizing porn behaviors (disease model.) And I moved towards a choice/ownership model. I invite the guys I work with to examine their choices, define problematic behaviors, developing their why for going porn free, and come up with creative solutions to solve their challenges.

I treat guys from day one as whole people with the capacity and capability to form new habits and change their relationship with porn.

This is part 9 in our series, The Choice is Yours.

0:13.4	Hey, this is Matt, and we're celebrating 10 years of porn free radio over the next 10 episodes.
0:20.1	Episode 335 will be released on our 10th anniversary, April 30th, 2024.
0:27.1	Join me and my brother Sam Dopp Shoots for that show as we read your letters of hope and action.

0:56.3	we're finishing our series called The Choice Is Yours, which started in episode 326. It's actually our longest series ever on
1:02.9	porn free radio, nine episodes in total. That first episode, I talked about the owner-victim
1:09.5	choice that comes to us from Steve Chandler,
1:13.0	one of my favorite authors and coaches.
1:15.9	And Steve says there's two types of people in the world.
1:18.0	There's victims and there's owners.
1:20.9	Victims see themselves as the victim of any situation or circumstance that they're in.
1:27.4	And owners, while they can't control the situation or circumstance,
1:32.8	they can control their response and their reaction to any situation.
1:37.7	And that's fundamental to this choice is yours here.
1:41.2	I've been trying to focus on what it looks like to take more ownership
1:46.7	in your recovery. And this last topic is one that I'm nervous about because it signifies a shift
1:55.6	in my thinking of recovery. And I have some, I went back and listened to some old episodes this week to just see the
2:03.8	contrast with some of the language that I used in the old days of porn free radio nine, ten
2:10.5	years ago. And I'll tell you what it is today, the choice that I'm talking about. It's whole
