#239: I've Been Sober For A Long Time, But I Still Get Images Entering My Mind. What Do I Do?

Caller Tyler: is 21 years old, single, christian, and has been able to find sobriety for 2 years. He has been struggling with intrusive thoughts that he wants to get a better handle on. Tyler realized about 2 years ago that his pornography use was ruining the life that he wanted and joined a recovery group online that helped him to stop looking at pornography. The brothers dive into Tyler's past and the origins of his addiction. They discuss the role of sexuality in our lives, especially in a christian life, and how trying to fight our sexuality feeds the compulsion. Additionally, they speak about what to do when we have these sexual thoughts. // SUBMIT A QUESTION + CALL IN // We'd love to answer questions you have about addiction, trauma, recovery, relationships, and healing.
