When you are quitting porn, triggers are your friend not the enemy.

When you’re quitting porn, triggers are your friend. They’re not your enemy.

You don’t need to protect yourself from them.
You don’t need to run from them or hide from them.
You are okay.

You know how to get through triggers without watching porn.
That’s the thing.

You think you can’t, based on your past experience.
But none of that is true.

You have a lot of success getting through triggers and not watching porn.
So we want to grow on that success.
We want to focus on that success.
We want to grow stronger so that you can get through triggers.

Getting through triggers isn’t about resisting or fighting.
It’s about relaxing yourself, relaxing your body, regulating your body.
Calming your nervous system so that you can make a better decision about porn.

Triggers make you stronger.
They make you more powerful.
You don’t need to be afraid of them.
It doesn’t mean you’re going to watch porn.
We blow up any idea that you think that is true.

My name’s Matt. I’m a coach. I help guys get free of porn.

I have a webinar today at 4 PM Eastern Time on Zoom.
If you want to come join me, I’ll talk about triggers and how to get through them without watching porn.

Is foraging stealing?

My neighbor has been stealing plants off my other neighbors property and calling it foraging.

He sells these at the farmers market.

To me it’s straight up stealing especially since the land owner sold his sap rights to a local producer. he definitely wants to capitalize on his land so I don’t think he’d see this as foraging.

I’m not from Vt so don’t know the customs

More context

- he was showing me how to tap trees for syrup and he tapped the trees on my neighbors property saying “it’s ok because it’s touching the stone wall

- he then tapped a tree that was clearly not touching th e wall

- he’s a business owner

- he gets grants from the govt and openly admits he not following the rules or requirements of the grants

- I think he’s part of the shaker cult because he gave this big long ass speech about how the shakers are “the right religion “ and all others are wrong

- he gave me this big ass speech about good vs evil in the world (while stealing the plants)

- I didn’t realize it but I think that was him trying to recruit me into his cult

I’m abit weirded out by this guy now.

Down in Plymouth there was this bakery that made great baked goods but they were a cult that tried to recruit you.

Im getting that vibe from them.

I just wanted to let you know that you are doing amazing

You’re on the right track you’re getting there.

You’re not making any mistakes you’re making all the right moves.

You may argue and say no, I am not. But I know whatever you did that you were calling a mistake…

You are more aware of it now than you were before so it’s only a matter of time before you make a different decision than you did before.

I try not to make decisions right or wrong. I try to just look at it as I made a decision and I have a result. And if I don’t want that result in the future, then I need to make a different decision I need to think differently.

I try to never make myself wrong. I try to never beat myself up. I never fault myself. I try as hard as I can to never look at anything I do or anything I think or say or feel as wrong.

Why would I wanna beat myself and make myself wrong in anyway if I had the choice?

Anyway, you’re on this path you are definitely going to get there everybody does eventually.

You are an amazing human being now and your amazingness will only grow as you go further on this journey.

All the doubts in the fears that you feel now are uncomfortable, but they’re OK. They’re part of the growing. They’re growing pains.

They may feel intolerable but I promise you they are not.

You may feel your life is in shambles, but I promise you it is not. You may be going through massive changes in your life and all your relationships. You are changing as a person.

But it will all be OK.

You will get to your destination you can’t stop it.

Think of you never watching porn as just inevitable.

Like it’s gonna happen, it’s happening right now.

Right now, reading this you’re not watching porn. So right here right now you’ve quit you’re done you don’t need it.

Because you’re an amazing human being, don’t ever forget that.

This is why you’re failing at semen retention

Trying to retain your semen is the same as trying to quit pouring. You’re trying to move away from lust.

For whatever reason.

But the reason you fail at both is because the emotions of less than desire are stronger than your ability to think.

In other words, you’re trying to outthink an emotion and that never works.

You have to let the emotion be there. You have to feel the emotion you have to do everything you cannot to fight it resistant or even ignore it.

Your skill to grow is actually feeling the emotions instead of fighting them.

If you could learn how to feel lust and desire, you wouldn’t need porn.

The number one question I get as a coach who helps guys quit porn is ....

The #1 question I get as a coach who helps men stop watching porn is....

How do I stop watching porn.

The #1 answer I have is, come to my webinar.

Come to Never Watch Porn Again, my webinar and signature program to help guys stop watching porn and never watch it again.

Interested? Go to NeverWatchPornAgain.com to sign up.

The #2 question I get is..... why the blue nails?

That's my favorite question because so often it's framed as.... I'm not judging you, I'm just curious, why the blue nails.

I love that question because it makes me curious as to why you're asking that question.

what is it about my blue nails that triggered you enough to ask? Curiousity is one top layer but there's always something deeper.

When you take a deeper look at yourself, you'll see things you're afraid of because they're different than you, they don't match your blue print of what the world "should be" .

Digging deeper often leads to letting go of porn. letting go of the need for it and the desire for it.

This is what I help guys do, I help them love themselves enough they stop watching porn.

You can’t hate yourself enough to stop watching porn

I hope you never developed the habit of watching porn but if you do, it’s perfectly understandable.

Perfectly understandable and I don’t think anything has gone wrong.

But I can tell you from my experience that hating yourself and discipline yourself is not the answer.

I spent my life hating myself for things that I did and I wasn’t trying to do that. I just hated myself.

I didn’t know it, but my family taught me that. My family taught me to bully myself and other , My family taught me to watch porn, to steal, to rob people, to hurt other people in every way imaginable.

So when it came to stopping porn, it just was natural for me to hate myself because of it.

And I can tell you after 55 years that unequivocally that will not work.

And why would you want it to? If you could choose a happy path or an angry path or a hate hateful path why would you choose the hateful path?

But understandable.

20 years ago someone told me that in order to quit drinking. I needed to love myself.

That means sense, but I didn’t know how to love myself. I didn’t know what that meant. I didn’t know how to do it and it took me 30 years to figure it out.

But today I love myself more than anything, and I treat myself like a king. I forgive myself for anything that I might do and everything I have ever done in my life.

I own it 100% but I love myself no matter what.

I don’t care if you’re quitting porn or just running a marathon, loving yourself is to answer to everything.

And learning that skill, which believe you me is a skill will change everything for you.

You start becoming the man that you want me to start living the life that you want. And you’ll see that discipline only stopped. You only hold you back. It does not help you.

Have a beautiful day!

When it comes to quick porn, most guys are focused on the wrong things

When it comes to quitting porn, most guys are focused on the wrong things. They are focused on blockers when they should be focused on why they’re using porn.

Most guys are focused on fighting, resisting or ignoring urges when you should be learning how to feel them.

When you focus on why you’re using it and solve that problem, you don’t need blockers anymore.

When you focus on learning the skill of feeling, you’ll not run away from your feelings, you’ll face them and feel them and then you’ll know how to do that.

And then you stop watching porn.

TikTok lives are fun

I get penis emojis, I get people telling me how much they love porn, I get people asking me why I have blue nails, I get people asking me telling me that I just need Jesus, and then there’s genuinely a lot of people who actually wanna know how to stop watching porn.

God, I love my job. Thank you for this life. I went through a shit ton of pain but now I get to help others feel better and get free porn.

Your brain just wants to be happy and feel good but it doesn’t know that porn is not the answer

Your brain will work against you when you try to quit porn.
See that and recognize that….
don’t make it a problem.

You work with your brain, not against it.

Your brain just wants to be happy and feel good just like you, but it doesn’t know that porn is not the answer so that is what you have to teach it.

When you’re quitting porn, mindset is everything

When you are quitting porn, mindset is everything.

No matter how you quit your mindset changes.

And your mindset is basically everything you think about you watching porn and not being able to stop.

And you can change your mindset through action by trying to prove it to yourself. Or what is easier is changing your mindset and then letting your actions prove it.

Mine is basically removing the block that is stopping you from succeeding.

Sometimes I don't get these 12 step minded guys then I remember its a cult

So I get it, you believe in somethihg so strongly that it's part of your personality now.

Any other idea is taken as a "threat" because it's not your way. The "right way" according to you.

Because if I do something differently, it threatens your methodologhy. And you nor anyone else wants to be wrong.

If I'm right then you're wrong and you can't risk that. Not after all that you've invested and believed.

Not after all those meetings and all that time spent preaching how right you think you are.

Wrong or right is a man made concept.

Addiction is a man made concept.

It's all frameworks and beliefs created to make you feel safe.

And you need them to survive.

So all I'm saying is turn that belief into believing in you.

Believing that porn is just a thing you turn to when you feel stressed or bored.

You don't want to feel stressed or bored so you turn to the thing that guarantees instant pleasure.

It's not more complicated than that. But if you want to believe it is and make it... how does my nurse friend say it, pathologize! If you want to pathologize this and make it bigger than you then by all means.

Put yourself in the box and call it sobriety.

I'd rather live my life and be FREE Than to mentally castrate myself so that I don't have to feel a negative emotion.

“I’m addicted” is a mindset that keeps you trapped watching porn

“I’m addicted” is a mindset that keeps you trapped watching porn.

Why are you “addicted”?

Because you can’t stop?
Because someone told you you were?

Because you checked off all their check boxes which a bunch of old men decided was “the list” , the master list by which we can safely categorize and put everyone into a box?

Do you want to stop watching porn or do you want to be addicted?

Because they are 2 different things. The former creates a new you, the latter keeps you as you are, now and forever.

You can stop or you can talk about why you can’t stop.

The process is simple.

Learn to think and learn to feel.

I used to say simple but not easy. The easy part is up to you, you can make it hard or you can make it easy.

The pain is emotional so you have a lot more control, a lot me leverage, a lot more ability to just feel and experience the emotions without needing porn.

And that is the fundamental issue, not whether you’re addicted and what that means to you.

Come join me Tuesday @ 12pm ET where I’m talking about how to never watch porn again.

I used to think I was wrong for “getting triggered “

I just saw this hot body and my brain was like wooo that’s something.. and I could have clicked into it and chased that for the rest of the day.

But I was like, naaaa I don’t feel like it.
I felt it in my groin too which to me was like maybe I’ll masturbate later, who knows. Nbd.

Now I know that seeing a hot body is just a reaction my brain and my body have sometimes. I can choose what to do with it but it’s not wrong.

It’s like sneezing and that’s only annoying but not a problem.

This is so different than about 11,000 Saturdays and Sundays where I was inside watching porn all day and night.

I’m here when you’re ready.
