Today, we're tackling something that trips up a lot of people: the feeling of deprivation. But don’t worry, this isn’t going to be some heavy lecture. We're keeping it light, relatable, and maybe even a little fun.

Let me ask you: have you ever tried quitting something and felt like you were missing out? Like, you’ve let go of something toxic, but there’s that nagging voice saying, "What if I need it? What if life isn’t as good without it?" That’s deprivation—and it’s one of the trickiest things when quitting porn. It makes you think you’re losing something valuable, but here’s the twist: you’re really not.

Deprivation is all in your head. It’s the result of years of being sold the idea that porn is harmless or even beneficial. But let’s be real—does it actually bring you pleasure? No. What you’re really feeling is the temporary relief from the addiction itself. Once you understand that, everything changes. You’re not giving up something good; you’re freeing yourself from a cycle of false satisfaction.

Here’s the key: shift your mindset. Instead of seeing quitting as a sacrifice, see it as gaining so much more—freedom, mental clarity, better relationships, more time, and energy. Focus on what you’re gaining, and suddenly, deprivation doesn’t feel so real.

You’ve got this. Share this episode with someone who might need it, and let’s keep breaking free from addiction together!
