1. An Honest Introduction

David Adamson
About this episode

My name is David Adamson and I am a porn addict. 

In this episode, I introduce myself and share my story of how I got to become a pornography/lust addict and the first steps that I took towards recovery. I’m not a professional therapist, just a “pro” at being an addict. After starting my addiction when I was 11, it took me over a decade of painful attempts and effort to finally figure out what I was doing wrong in recovery. The first step? Being brutally honest with myself and giving up what I thought was the right way to recover.
