Summary
If you’ve heard me say you have to fail, and you’ve interpreted that to mean it’s not worth trying, listen in closely this week. I’m sharing the difference between progressive failure and justification failure, why practicing the former will have you surprised at how much faster you’ll be able to quit, and showing you how applying this concept to other areas of your life will leave you amazed at what else you can accomplish.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast, episode 55, progressive failure versus |
| 0:07.0 | justification failure. Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based, |
| 0:14.6 | trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn. This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and |
| 0:23.5 | thousands of lives. I'm your host, Sarah Brewer. Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode |
| 0:31.2 | this week. I'm so excited. So glad you're here. I'm excited to continue our conversation about |
| 0:37.2 | failure and how failure is |
| 0:38.9 | needed, especially when we're learning how to quit porn. And today we're specifically going to talk |
| 0:43.6 | about, like, which kind of failures will help us quit porn and which kind of failures will keep us |

| 0:56.7 | It says, I don't usually write reviews, but I've also never had something changed my life as much as this podcast has. |
| 1:04.4 | I've struggled with a porn habit ever since I was 10 years old, and for the first time in my life, I found myself starting to not want porn. I also feel more |

| 1:41.6 | things in my life, but instead of avoiding them through |
| 1:44.1 | porn, I face them. And when we start doing this, when we learn to stop buffering, |
| 1:49.8 | geez, you guys, it's so life-changing. It actually makes things easier. We think that avoiding, right, |
