Show Notes:

Thank you so much for tuning in this week. This is going to be in a very adult conversation, with adult themes and adult verbiage. I do not recommend that you have children in the room or if you are uncomfortable and not mature enough, perhaps this is not the episode for you.

I will be diving in too the subject of pornography.

Links and stats are posted here.

This show is quite personal for me and you will find that out in this episode. I will also have the link to my full testimony here as well.

This is not a point of you do not like me so therefore you won't share, that is a very selfish way to be.

This episode is vitally important to let people know that there are others out there who struggle with pornography. I ask despite how you may or may not feel about me or this podcast, that you would please share this episode.
