12. What Does Success and Money Have To Do With Sex Addiction and Infidelity?

Humans are hard-wired to succeed. But, what is success? Is it money? Is it being able to get any woman you want? Is it being wanted and lusted after? Sex and porn addiction is not about sex and porn... There is a motivator underneath these behaviors and your recovery depends on YOU uncovering it. For high-achieving men, the motives often revolve around attention-seeking, validation, respect, and admiration. In our culture, sex and sex appeal have worked their way into successful male culture. For most men, these drivers operate in their subconscious. In this episode, Dr. Mark White (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) and I discuss changing the mind to combat sexually compulsive behavior. There is a formula that you can use. Mark and I share the belief that your drive to succeed will be the only thing that can get you sober. Recovering from sex and porn addiction is not about just stopping the behavior... it's about tapping into your motives, desires, sense of self, and life's purpose.
