312 – PFR Classic: Automatic Thoughts

In recovery we focus a lot on triggers. Avoiding them. Reducing them. Anticipating them.

Matt has often said that lying was the “second addiction” he had to recover from. The habits around lying, hiding, keeping secrets, omission, and minimizing were just as strong as the porn was.

Our long-term recovery depends on us building the skills of honesty.
