What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction? In this captivating episode of Soberful, Veronica Valli welcomes Jeremy Lipkowitz, a former Buddhist monk and now a coach for men grappling with porn addiction. Jeremy shares his compelling journey from a young boy's innocent curiosity to a life dominated by the all-consuming nature of porn addiction.
His story is one of isolation, depression, and the eventual realisation that true happiness comes not from fleeting desires but from meaningful connections and self-awareness.

This epiphany led him to embrace Buddhist meditation and mindfulness, transforming his life and guiding him towards helping others.

Jeremy emphasises the importance of open, non-shaming discussions about sexuality, especially for parents guiding their children through this complex landscape. Jeremy's mission is to create safe spaces for men to confront their struggles and find community support.
His work aims to foster accountability and self-compassion, offering a beacon of hope in what can often feel like a dark topic. As Jeremy and Veronica explore these themes, they provide listeners with invaluable insights into the challenges and triumphs of recovery.
