0:08.4	Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn.
0:18.8	This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of
0:23.4	lives. I'm your host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this week. So glad
0:34.2	that you're here. I'm excited to talk about this topic today, which is this present versus future desire.
