96. Will Your Sex Addiction Recovery Plan Actually Prevent Relapse?
Tue Feb 03 2026
There’s a difference between sobriety and recovery when it comes to sex addiction. A big difference.
You’ve probably seen the stats that relapse is common. My belief is that this is because most men are in good sobriety… not recovery.
Sobriety is about stopping the behaviors from happening. Recovery is about preventing them from happening in the future.
In this episode, I outline the difference between a sobriety plan and a recovery plan. I provide details and examples that will help you create your own recovery plan.
Sobriety is important. But, recovery is what you need if your hope is to prevent relapse and further damage to your marriage.
High-performing men typically have a very different sex addiction when compared to the general population. For this reason, their recovery plan will also look quite different.
If you’re a business professional, executive, owner, investor, or entrepreneur, you may find my book helpful. “The High Achiever's Guide to Sex Addiction Recovery: A Proven Blueprint for Successful Professionals to Overcome Sex and Porn Addiction”
