Episode Details

This is episode 100 of Temple Bound, and it kicks off the show's three-part series for Recovery Awareness Month. Natalie and Cory Wadsworth sit down with Will to talk about what came after that night: years of counseling, weekly drives to the temple, and how a marriage on the brink of divorce became, in their words, the best of friends.

What you'll learn:

• Why pornography addiction is rarely about sex, and what it's actually a coping mechanism for
• Why the addiction gets worse over time if it isn't addressed, and why willpower alone doesn't fix it
• Why isolation is what lets an addiction grow, and why recovery can't happen alone
• What a wife needs to hear in the moment she finds out (and why "it's not about you" changed everything for Natalie)
• Why their bishop told them to keep attending the temple and taking the sacrament during recovery, not step back from it
• Why relapse is part of the process, not proof that recovery failed
• How they rebuilt trust after years of hiding, and what their marriage looks like now, eight years later

This conversation is honest about how hard this road is. It's also honest about what's possible on the other side of it.
