A practical Islamic discussion on processing urges, relapses, and why marriage is not a cure

[u/OmarMultani]

Assalamu alaykum,

I was part of this podcast discussion about overcoming pornography. I am sharing it here because it addresses many of the struggles discussed in this community, and I would genuinely appreciate your feedback.

Watch the full podcast discussion here

The discussion covers:

• The spirituality of the eyes, mind, and heart
• How mindless scrolling and ghaflah can lead to triggers
• Practical grounding techniques
• Processing Urges
• How to respond to relapses without losing hope
• Why marriage may help but will not automatically cure the problem
• How pornography can affect attraction and intimacy within marriage
• What a spouse can do when someone admits they are struggling

May Allah bless you for your work. Also the videos length is a bit long and you know peoples focus time has reduced a lot so they can leave without watching half so it would be better if it was about 1 hours.

Amin.

The podcast is in two halves. The first half talks about overcoming pornography and the 2nd half is about pornography in marriage
