In today's episode of the "Pørn to Purpose" podcast, we break down one of the most common traps men fall into on their recovery journey—focusing on streaks instead of true transformation. This episode dives deep into the difference between sobriety and recovery. We unpack why white-knuckling your way through porn addiction is not the same as healing, and how relying on your "day counter" alone sets you up for shame, relapse, and a fragile sense of identity.
