How To Break a Pornography Addiction

How To Break a Pornography Addiction

What are the common struggles and victories in addiction recovery? This conversation between Coach Blu Robinson and guest Drew Boa takes on one that often hides in the shadows: pornography addiction. You’ll hear Drew share how his own struggle began as a lonely teenager glued to Myspace and video games, and how it grew into a compulsive relationship with porn and masturbation.

He talks openly about the terrifying moment he realised he couldn’t just “pray it away”, and how joining groups, leading others, and eventually writing his book, *Redeemed Sexuality*, helped him step into long‑term change. The episode breaks down why porn is so hard to quit today: it’s “affordable, free… accessible on any digital device… and anonymous”, as Drew explains.

They talk about the real cost of “free” porn – from erectile dysfunction and wrecked marriages to human trafficking and increasing violence on screen – and why calling it a victimless habit is a dangerous myth. This one’s especially useful if you’re juggling both substance use and porn, or you’re a partner trying to make sense of betrayal.

Drew explains the difference between guilt and self‑hatred, how religious shame can make things worse, and why many couples actually face three recoveries: the addict, the betrayed partner, and the relationship itself. You’ll also get practical tips with a down‑to‑earth twist, like giving your phone a “bedtime”, choosing when, where and why you use it, and using tech as part of the solution rather than trying to outsmart filters.

Throughout, Drew keeps coming back to one core message: “you are God’s beloved son”, whether your last slip was years ago or an hour ago. If porn feels like the one addiction you’ve never dared to talk about, could this be the nudge to bring it into the light?
