#63 - Who Joins A Recovery Program

Pornography, like any other freely available drug, has the potential for misuse and overuse. Not only is it accessible, but it’s being actively used at an alarmingly high rate.

Overcoming porn addiction isn’t as easy as one, two, three. It needs commitment, patience, hard work, determination and  perseverance. Especially in today’s culture and society where the stigma of porn addiction is still there, overcoming porn addiction is increasingly challenging.

The stigma of porn addiction can make it especially difficult for many people to decide to enter a recovery group or program.  The main barriers to seeking treatment for porn addiction are fear of what people will think and how those in need of help will be treated by peers and the society at large.

In this episode, Sammy and Andrew talk about who High Noon programs are made for and who can benefit the most from joining this program, as well as why some people hesitate to join these recovery programs. They’ll also be sharing the testimony of Benny who overcame his porn addiction by the help of High Noon programs and community.
