0:00.0	You are listening to the Overcome Pornography for Good Podcast, Episode 70, Overcome Your Most
0:06.4	Difficult Urge. Welcome to the Overcome Pornography for Good podcast where we take a research-based,
0:13.8	trauma-informed, and results-focused approach to quitting porn. This approach has been revolutionary and changed thousands and thousands of lives.
0:24.3	I'm your host, Sarah Brewer.
0:27.9	Hey, you guys, welcome to the podcast episode this week. So glad you're here. Like we've been doing
0:33.3	recently, take a minute and celebrate a win that you have had over this past week. That could be a
0:40.5	win specifically with pornography or a win in any other area of your life. We want to start really
0:45.5	creating this celebration energy, this gratitude energy that will give you momentum to continue to
0:51.8	keep going. And I want to share a win that I received from a member of the
0:57.1	program this last week. And I just, I loved it. I loved it so much. And I love this example of a win.
1:04.2	He says, I processed several urges while I was sick. And I started to understand the commitment

1:17.1	referring to. He said, I had been caught up in all or nothing thinking when it came to my commitment to
1:23.0	stop viewing porn and I have finally made the distinction between trying and maybe failing sometimes
1:28.9	and not trying at all. My outlook is more positive and I feel like the process of overcoming
1:34.1	porn is something that I can really do. Yes. Awesome. I love it. I wanted to share that because I wanted
1:39.3	to share, you know, remind us of this all or nothing thinking. And what he's saying here is he finally
1:45.0	gets it. He is understanding that trying and not being perfect is better than not trying at all.
1:53.3	I heard a podcast recently where the host said, she talks about the 1% and how sometimes we think 1% isn't anything.
2:05.5	So for example, if you want to have $100 and you only have $1, you might as well have $0.
2:11.4	This is kind of what we think and how we think about it sometimes.
