    98. Is Recovery Working? What If Each Act Needs a Unique Treatment?
    Feb 18 2026
    Ever notice how some parts of your sex addiction just stop, and others seem to stay on your mind? Some might be addictive, others might be sexually compulsive. Some of them may just come down to an integrity issue. This matters. Why? Because if you’re trying to avoid relapse, you need to make sure that treatment is actually going to solve the issue. Because sex addiction is a process addiction, you can’t recover unless you know what you’re recovering from. In this episode, I break down the difference between addictive and compulsive sexual behavior. Why sex and porn addiction treatments may not work for some men and what they will need to do instead. I dive much deeper into this concept in my book, “The High Achiever's Guide to Sex Addiction Recovery: A Proven Blueprint for Successful Professionals to Overcome Sex and Porn Addiction.” For those of you wanting to dive further into the specifics of your own process addiction, visit my website and fill out an application.

    96. Will Your Sex Addiction Recovery Plan Actually Prevent Relapse?
    Feb 3 2026
    There’s a difference between sobriety and recovery when it comes to sex addiction. A big difference. You’ve probably seen the stats that relapse is common. My belief is that this is because most men are in good sobriety… not recovery. Sobriety is about stopping the behaviors from happening. Recovery is about preventing them from happening in the future. In this episode, I outline the difference between a sobriety plan and a recovery plan. I provide details and examples that will help you create your own recovery plan. Sobriety is important. But, recovery is what you need if your hope is to prevent relapse and further damage to your marriage. High-performing men typically have a very different sex addiction when compared to the general population. For this reason, their recovery plan will also look quite different. If you’re a business professional, executive, owner, investor, or entrepreneur, you may find my book helpful. “The High Achiever's Guide to Sex Addiction Recovery: A Proven Blueprint for Successful Professionals to Overcome Sex and Porn Addiction” You can find the book here on Amazon: https://a.co/d/4jE4JnX

    94. The Men Who Are in Great Recovery Have This
    Jan 20 2026
    It’s unfortunate… But your wife, family, and faith alone are not enough to stop your sex addiction. If they were, you wouldn't be listening to this podcast. The men in my groups who are the fastest to recover have tapped into something more. Something that energizes them and keeps them leaning into recovery. Recovering from sex addiction is not a short road. You need to make sure that your recovery plan can go the distance. It’s easy for men to lean in for the first year. But many guys eventually get burned out. You need to prevent this! Burnout will certainly put you at risk of relapse and will not make your wife feel safe in the relationship. In this episode, I talk about how men have tapped into something that keeps them excited about their recovery. If you have not yet read/listened to my book, I talk about this concept in great detail. You can find my book here on Amazon: https://a.co/d/dzD9LKt The book is titled: “The High Achiever's Guide to Sex Addiction Recovery: A Proven Blueprint for Successful Professionals to Overcome Sex and Porn Addiction.”

    We all know that connection and peer-support are the most critical elements in recovery from sex addiction.

In this episode, I discuss how to get the most out of your support groups so that you can achieve long-term sobriety and prevent relapse.
