Summary
This week on Sober Awkward, we step outside the world of alcohol to explore another taboo topic—porn addiction. Hamish has a chat with one of the world's top Porn Addiction Recovery Experts - Jeremy Lipkowitz. Jeremy is an ex-porn addict who spends his life helping others. In this open and honest conversation, Jeremy shares stories from his struggles and shame, and offers an insight into the recovery involved in breaking free from this all-too-common but rarely discussed addiction.
We dive into the parallels between porn and alcohol addiction, the impact on mental health and relationships, and the journey of finding freedom and self-acceptance.
It’s raw, real, and eye-opening—because sometimes the path to sobriety means looking beyond the bottle. Tune in for a bold and thought-provoking episode that shines a light on an important issue many people face in silence.
One of the most fascinating episodes yet!
Show Notes - About Jeremy - Jeremy Lipkowitz is a meditation teacher, men’s coach, and digital habits expert who works with entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders. He is the founder of Unhooked Academy and host of the Unhooked Podcast, where he helps men break free from destructive habits and build a life of purpose, discipline, and fulfillment.
Jeremy’s journey into personal development began in his early twenties when he overcame porn addiction, shame, self-judgment, and depression through mindfulness meditation. This practice not only freed him from destructive behaviors but also connected him to a deeper sense of meaning and purpose.
