In this episode, Stephen Cervantes and I roll up our sleeves to explore the journey of recovery from unwanted sexual behaviors. We discuss the deeper transformation needed beyond just sobriety, sharing over a dozen practical maxims and spiritual insights that will help you aim for life beyond recovery.

We reflect on aging, grief, and the challenges of change, emphasizing honesty, community, and trusting God. Through personal stories and recovery wisdom, we encourage listeners to take small, consistent steps, embrace vulnerability, and remember that lasting change is a process—one day, and one choice, at a time.
