We’ve all heard the arguments. Porn is bad in heavy doses but it can be helpful in small doses when couple use it “responsibly.” Even Dr. Drew has maintained this type of stance at times. Of course not everyone shares this opinion, so then we get into questions and debates that go something like this:… Read more »

Hey, it’s Craig again. The question that I’m going to try to answer this week is this: “I tend to look at porn after I visit my parents’ house. Is that a trigger?” The answer to the question is… yes. If you identify something that triggers this response, then yes, it’s a trigger. And I… Read more »

Hey, it’s Craig again. Today, we’re talking about looking at porn because you’re bored. So… is the problem that you’re bored? Or is the problem porn? We talk about triggers quite a bit, which is certainly valid, but at the end of the day, there’s nothing making you look at porn. Each new realization about our… Read more »

Hey, it’s Craig again. The question we’re asking this week is, “How can I manage my addiction to porn?” You know, I don’t write these questions, and I’d definitely want to reword this one.

Hey, it’s Craig here. The question this week, “Will marriage solve my porn problem?” Nope. I’ve been doing this a long time, and that’s one thing I know for sure.
