If you've tried to quit porn over and over again but keep finding yourself back where you started, the problem may not be that you need more willpower.

In this episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich explains why relying on willpower alone is one of the biggest mistakes men make when trying to overcome pornography addiction—and what you need to build instead.

Drawing from the dopamine concepts explored in The Molecule of More and the famous "Radishes and Cookies" experiment on self-control, Frank breaks down why constantly exposing yourself to triggers and expecting yourself to simply "be stronger" creates a fragile recovery strategy.

Because if your plan is:

Feel the urge → resist the urge → repeat forever…

you're building your freedom around having to win the same battle again and again.

Frank explains why the better approach is to reduce unnecessary battles altogether by changing your environment, identifying predictable triggers, pre-deciding your response to temptation, building healthier replacement behaviors, bringing your struggle out of secrecy, and ultimately rebuilding your identity.
