I know, because I am a porn addict myself.
Hi, I'm Mark, and I know what it's like to be a slave to porn and sex addiction.
Twenty five years ago pornography addiction took almost everything away from me. I lost my career, friends, family, money and opportunity. I was so deep in my addiction I didn't care about anything, or anybody.
I didn't like who I was.
Chances are, you're walking a path not unlike my own. Maybe your struggle has come to light among family members, casting shadows on relationships. Or, you might notice additional signs of sexual addiction in your actions.

This foundational knowledge is crucial for developing an effective recovery plan tailored to your unique needs.
In this module, we delve into the science and psychology behind porn addiction. You will learn about the effects of addiction on the brain and how it impacts your daily life. By understanding these mechanisms, you can better grasp why addiction occurs and feel more empowered to address it.
Developing a rich emotional vocabulary is key to expressing and understanding your feelings. In this module, you'll learn to identify and name your emotions, which is essential for effective communication and emotional health. This newfound awareness helps you navigate your emotions in healthier ways, reducing the reliance on addictive behaviors.
Recognizing the triggers and patterns that lead to addictive behavior is a crucial step in recovery. This module helps you identify common triggers such as stress, boredom, and loneliness, and understand the cycles of addiction. With this insight, you can develop strategies to manage and mitigate these triggers, reducing the likelihood of relapse.
Learning to cope with stress and emotions in healthy ways is a cornerstone of recovery. In this module, we explore various stress management techniques and emotional regulation strategies. By replacing addictive behaviors with positive alternatives, you can improve your overall well-being and resilience.
Having the right tools and resources can greatly enhance your recovery efforts.

These resources provide additional support and can be tailored to fit your specific needs and lifestyle.
A strong support system is essential for sustained recovery. This module focuses on helping you establish and strengthen your support network, including family, friends, and accountability partners. Having a reliable support system provides emotional encouragement and practical advice, making the journey to recovery less daunting.
Addiction can strain or damage relationships with loved ones. In this module, we work on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and setting healthy boundaries. Repairing and enhancing your relationships not only supports your recovery but also enriches your personal life.
Understanding and addressing codependent behaviors can significantly impact your recovery journey. This module teaches you to recognize codependence and build assertiveness. Developing these skills helps you maintain healthier relationships and supports long-term recovery.
Rebuilding your self-esteem and self-worth is an important aspect of recovery. This module provides techniques for positive self-talk and affirmations, helping you develop a stronger sense of self. Increased self-esteem can boost your confidence and motivation, making it easier to stay committed to recovery.
Addictions often coexist with other issues, which can complicate recovery. This module helps you evaluate any co-occurring addictions, whether sexual or non-sexual, and other related issues. Understanding these interconnections is vital for creating a comprehensive and effective recovery plan.
Long-term recovery requires ongoing effort and commitment. This final module focuses on strategies for maintaining your progress and preventing relapse. Continuous self-improvement, staying motivated, and accessing ongoing support resources are key to sustaining your recovery journey and leading a fulfilling life.
Hey there! I know you must be curious about me. You'll get to hear my full addiction and recovery journey during the program. Right now, I wear many hats - from being a business owner to a friend, a family member, and yes, an addict. Through more than two decades of recovery, I've discovered my capabilities and the tools to live my best life.
My fundamental belief, as a person, an addict, and a coach, is that connection is key. You'll often find me on the phone, enjoying a cup of coffee at a local shop, or participating in events with fellow addicts, friends, and family.
I proudly identify as gay and share my home with my cat, Gertie, outside of New York City.
I'm looking forward to meeting you!
No. I am a fellow addict, acting as a coach to help you recover from porn addiction. Internet pornography became my life and I was able to crawl out of it and become a successful family member, business owner, and friend. I want the same for you.
We're not doing therapy when we meet. We're working through a structured program of recovery. Often meeting with a psychotherapist is recommended as addicts often have issues that require psychotherapy to resolve.
The program is designed to be completed in 12 weeks, with each module focusing on a different aspect of recovery. However, the pace can be adjusted based on your individual needs and progress, ensuring you fully benefit from each module.
You will receive comprehensive support through individual coaching meetings, group coaching sessions, daily check-ins, and an accountability setup. This multi-faceted approach ensures you have the guidance and encouragement needed every step of the way.
Daily check-ins are brief, regular touchpoints with your coach or accountability partner. They help you stay focused, track your progress, and address any immediate concerns or challenges. These check-ins can be done via phone, text, or a designated app.
Relapses are a common part of the recovery process. Our program includes strategies for managing relapses and setbacks, helping you understand why they happen and how to recover from them. Your coach and support network will be there to guide you through these moments.
Absolutely. We take your privacy very seriously. All interactions, including coaching sessions and group meetings, are conducted with the utmost confidentiality to ensure your comfort and trust.
Confidential Participation: From the moment you join the program, your identity and involvement are protected. We take great care to ensure that your participation is kept private, allowing you to engage fully without fear of exposure.
Confidential Progress: Your progress and all discussions in individual coaching sessions, group meetings, and daily check-ins are treated with the highest level of confidentiality. This ensures that you can speak openly and honestly about your experiences and challenges.
The only circumstance under which your confidentiality might be broken is if we receive a court order requiring us to disclose information. In such rare cases, we will comply with the law while making every effort to protect your privacy to the fullest extent possible.
Yes, the program is flexible and can be tailored to address your unique challenges and goals. During individual coaching sessions, you and your coach will work together to customize your recovery plan.
o support your recovery, we may suggest physical changes to your home layout to reduce temptations and create a more conducive environment for sobriety. This can include rearranging spaces, removing triggers, and setting up areas for healthy activities.
Group coaching meetings are led by a coach and involve sharing experiences, discussing challenges, and offering mutual support. These sessions help build a sense of community and provide valuable insights from peers who are also on the recovery journey
12-step programs, such as Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) or Porn Addicts Anonymous (PAA), can be an essential part of your long-term recovery strategy. I attend my local SAA group, myself and find it invaluable.
These programs provide a structured and supportive community where you can share experiences and receive encouragement from others who understand your struggles.
The 12 steps guide you through a process of self-examination, accountability, and personal growth, which are instrumental in overcoming porn addiction and maintaining long-term abstinence.
While my coaching program is comprehensive, I often recommend incorporating a 12-step program as an ongoing support mechanism.
The combination of our structured coaching and the mutual support from a 12-step group can significantly enhance your recovery efforts. If local meetings are not available, many 12-step programs offer online meetings and resources.
No, this is not a religious-based program. While spirituality will be discussed, it will be in a non-religious context. The focus will be on personal growth, mindfulness, and finding inner strength, which are universal concepts that can benefit everyone regardless of their religious beliefs. Our goal is to provide support and guidance that aligns with your individual values and beliefs, helping you on your path to recovery in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful to you.
Your geographical location plays a pivotal role here.
For the sake of convenience, we primarily conduct our group meetings via online platforms. On the other hand, individual coaching sessions offer the flexibility of being either virtual or face-to-face, depending on your proximity.
I strongly advise opting for several in-person sessions whenever possible, as they tend to be significantly more impactful.
