He Couldn't Be With His Wife Without Watching It First
with Justin Franich
About this episode
A man hid his pornography addiction so well that on his wedding night he couldn't be intimate with his wife without watching it first. That's what porn does. Rewires your brain until the real thing doesn't work anymore. We dig into the science of how pornography fries your dopamine receptors and the spiritual damage it causes to marriages. The devil only shows you the front of sin. He doesn't show you the cirrhosis, the broken marriages, the isolation.

About the Podcast
Rebuilding Life After Addiction is a weekly conversation for anyone walking the long road of recovery, and for the families walking it with them.
Hosted by Justin Franich and Robert Grant, two guys with over 40 years of combined recovery between them. Justin is a former meth addict who went through Teen Challenge in 2005, spent nearly two decades in recovery ministry leadership, and now helps families navigate addiction through content, referrals, and real talk. Robert served 18 years in prison before finding freedom through faith-based recovery. Today he leads family support calls at Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and brings a perspective that only comes from living it.
Each episode features honest conversations about faith, identity, and what it actually looks like to stay free. Not surface-level recovery talk. Not religious platitudes. Real stories from real people who've been in the pit and climbed out.
Whether you're rebuilding your own life, loving someone who is, or serving in ministry, this podcast is for you.
