Inner Game Vs. Outer Game

The Porn To Purpose Podcast

In this episode of the ‘‘Porn to Purpose’’ podcast, Yeadon and I break down the inner and outer game in recovery from porn addiction. We discuss how technology, accountability, and emotional resilience work together to build a strong recovery framework. While limiting access to triggers is key (outer game), it's just as important to tackle the emotional and psychological reasons driving the behavior (inner game).

We also share personal stories and strategies that have helped us, like using tools such as Covenant Eyes, building accountability systems, and focusing on emotional intelligence to address deeper issues.
