Life can throw some pretty tough challenges your way, and sometimes those challenges can push you back into old habits. In this episode of The 12th Step Podcast, Gary, Mike, and Daniel read a heartfelt email from Morris, a listener who has been struggling with pornography addiction for most of his life. Morris shares how significant life events like the loss of his father and his daughter's battle with cancer have triggered relapses in his addiction.
