In this episode of Consider Before Consuming, we sit down with Timothy Reichel, a recovery coach and speaker who shares his powerful journey of overcoming a 15-year addiction to pornography and rebuilding his life,

marriage, and purpose. Timothy takes us through his early exposure to porn, the ways it shaped

his behavior and relationships, and the pivotal moment that led him to lasting recovery.

With that, let's jump into the conversation. We hope you enjoy this episode of Consider Before Consuming.

Timothy, thank you so much for joining us today on Consider Before Consuming. You have such a

powerful personal story that I am excited for our listeners to get to hear and learn from you today.

So to kind of dive right in, can you just start by generally introducing yourself?

Sure, sure.

So I'm Timothy Regal and I kind of have gone through this journey myself.

I spent many years, over 15 years, struggling with my own addiction to porn and escalated

into other things. And finally,

after all those years, I was able to get into recovery and sobriety from that and overcome it.

And now what I do now is I've been able to turn around and help other people through that

darkness and through that addiction to find freedom.

Awesome. Well, we're so grateful that you're here with us today. To start

kind of walking our listeners through your story, can you tell us what life was like for you growing up?

Sure. So I grew up in a good home. I have two very loving parents, a good, happy, healthy family.

There was never any sort of major trauma or anything

like that. A lot of the people I work with now have gone through a lot of those things. But I had

a very happy, healthy, loving home. But the main thing was, as far as this is concerned, is there never were conversations

about sex or about porn or about anything like that.

You know, we never really, it was never really talked about that.
