Joshua Shea on Porn Addiction: Breaking the Silence

We need to recognize that, not be embarrassed by that, and then recognize that, with the explosion of the internet over The Last Years, that it's a different world than the one that you know the three of us grew up in and that we need to address the next generations differently. That's where we need to get with pornography, and I'm sure we'll see some of the statistics fall, much like we've seen the smoking statistics fall over The Last Years.
What happens when a seemingly successful life hides a dark secret? In this eye-opening episode of 'Beat Your Addictions', John Giordano sits down with Joshua Shea, a former magazine publisher and city councilor, who opens up about his battle with porn addiction. Joshua’s story is a powerful reminder that addiction can lurk behind even the most polished facades. He shares how his hidden struggles led to a six-month jail sentence and the eventual unraveling of his public persona.
But this episode isn't just about his downfall; it's about his journey to recovery and his mission to educate others on this often-taboo subject. Joshua discusses the impact of porn addiction on his relationships and mental health, and stresses the importance of addressing these issues early, especially in younger generations. He also talks about the societal stigma that makes it hard for many to seek help.
Through candid conversation, Joshua and John shed light on strategies to overcome porn addiction, offering hope and practical advice for those grappling with similar challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting to understand more about the complexities of addiction and the paths to recovery.
