The thing about any addiction is that it will never say no to you. Even when it hurts you, your addiction never calls you or forces you. You summon it. You actually hold power over it, but that power controls you for one reason or another.

The most silent and least talked about addiction of all is pornography. The true crux of pornography is the fantasy of an intimate connection that leaves you more isolated than when you started. Worse yet, stigmas and shame have made it difficult for those suffering from this addiction to seek help.

Joshua Shea breaks down the silent epidemic and the road to recovery to discuss this topic. He, himself, is a recovering pornography addict who can discuss what goes on inside the mind of a porn addict. Joshua’s 20-year addiction came to a head when he pulled himself off his bipolar medication and engaged an underage girl in an online chat room. Now sober, Joshua is here to help with an intimate look at his own story and the motivating factors behind what drove his addiction and what might be driving yours.

Join us as we dissect how this isn't just about fun videos—it's about the global struggle for control over digital realms and the powerful forces shaping our online experiences. From legislative maneuvers in Washington to the potential global tech upheavals, this episode sheds light on the complex and often hidden battles being fought over the digital landscapes that define our modern era.
