I truly believe that a porn addict is looking for warmth, comfort, connection, and many

other very positive things that we could list.

A porn addict is looking for connection and it is a way their

brain has found to find like this synthetic version of connection. So there's nothing wrong with wanting that. There's nothing wrong with wanting to feel warmth and intimacy and connection and I know some porn addicts who know that they say I'm really looking for connection. I just realize I'm doing it in a way where I'm never

going to get it. What I find with people who overuse pornography and then

they're able to stop, they find themselves afraid and I mean that in a really good way. They find themselves

connecting with people having conversations with their partner or their spouse, their children.

They find themselves vulnerable because they don't have that

armor, they don't have that novocation that they've been shooting into

themselves every day. That's Greg Woodhill and this is episode 288 of Wellness Force Radio.

You can be fatigued and depressed, right?

So then the challenge is what's the best order of operations

for trying to help someone identify what the root cause of their problem is?

Do you like yourself when you look in the mirror? What are you saying to yourself? What do you think about other people? How do you look at the tree?

You know, you have to have spiritual courage to really grow spiritually because if you really want to take guidance from your soul you

have to be ready to realize that many of the things that you're asking for guidance

on your ego has some kind of an addiction to or an investment in.
