Porn and the Pandemic: How Three Months in 2020 Changed Everything

Good morning Friends- It is Taco Tuesday! Time for some margaritas :) My next guest talks about an addiction too many people aren't brave enough to discuss. Unfortunately I have been involved with someone that had some of these addictions. Please welcome my next guest, Joshua Shea. Joshua Shea is a recovering pornography addict and the author of Porn and the Pandemic: How Three Months in 2020 Changed Everything, released July 2020. He has also authored The Addiction Nobody Will Talk About: How I Let My Pornography Addiction Hurt People and Destroy Relationships (2018) and co-author of He’s a Porn Addict…What Now? An Expert and Former Addict Answer Your Questions (2019). Since 2018, Joshua has given more interviews about pornography addiction than anybody in the world. To date, he has appeared on over 200 podcasts, television and radio shows using his wealth of research and personal story to promote the ideas that porn addiction spans all demographics and those with a problem should seek help before it’s too late, as it became in his case. Prior to admitting his addiction, Joshua was a prominent magazine publisher, award-winning journalist, film festival founder and politician in central Maine.  In 2017, Joshua launched RecoveringPornAddict.com. Certified as a betrayal trauma coach, he has also contributed articles about recovery to TheFix.com and Recovery Today magazine, is a TEDx Talk speaker and has developed and presents a porn addiction education lecture for churches, libraries and other groups. Sober since April 2014, Joshua still lives in Central Maine with his wife and two children.
