Breaking free from any addiction can be challenging. However, the fact that you’ve tried multiple times to end that addiction doesn’t mean you are weak. You need more than just willpower to break free from addiction. You need the correct information, resources, and support to break the addiction. 

It’s also essential to remember that you didn’t become addicted in one day, so you shouldn’t put too much pressure on yourself to make it go away in a day. The journey to recovering from an addiction, including pornography addiction, isn’t easy. However, it becomes easier and more realistic when you have someone holding your hands through it—especially when someone who’s overcome the same addictive behavior.

If you’ve been struggling with pornography addiction, then there’s so much to learn from the story of Frank Rich. He struggled with pornography addiction for almost 20 years. He overcame this addiction and is now on a mission to help other men with similar addictions overcome it and take control of their lives. Frank Rich is a former bodybuilder, entrepreneur, men’s health coach, and host of the Super Human Life Podcast. He is the founder of Rebuilt Recovery, a company based on a growth-centric holistic approach to addiction recovery.

It All Began with Vulnerability

Frank Rich hasn’t always been open about his anxiety, depression, and addiction struggles. It began to affect him because he began to feel he was living a fake life. Leading a successful life in his career and as an entrepreneur, he constantly thought he was living a double life because he had that secret addiction that no one knew about.

However, that changed in 2018 after he heard a podcast with Michael John Cusick. He experienced grown men in a vulnerable state on that podcast as they openly discussed their pornography struggles. That encounter changed him because the vulnerability of others motivated him to take the actions he needed to begin to live a life that aligned with his core beliefs. Giving his life to Christ that same year further took him several steps closer to living a life of alignment in every aspect. 

Being Free and Helping Others Find Freedom

Being free from pornography addiction wasn’t easy for Frank Rich. He went on a rebooting exercise to break free from this addiction, but he still somehow found himself falling back into the addiction. With the education and exposure he had, he wasn’t able to easily overcome this addiction. That made him reflect deeply on how difficult it would be for other men who didn’t have as much exposure to information or education as he did to break free from this addiction. 

To stand in the gap and help these men, he decided to freely share all he knew about breaking free from pornography addiction, which led him to launch the Super Human Life podcast in July 2019. Because of the importance of the message, the podcast quickly gained traction, and it got recognized by Apple as New & Noteworthy. The Super Human Life podcast helps men level up in 5 critical areas of their life—Faith, Fitness, Finance, Family, and Freedom. Frank Rich remains transparent, shares his struggles, and has raw and honest conversations with men who are currently battling addiction. By doing this, he empowers them to take control and change things by having their own Super Human Life.

The conversations on the podcast were so helpful, and several men in a similar situation soon began to reach out to Frank Rich for help. That further motivated him to build a structured platform in January 2020, the Rebuilt Recovery. 

Rebuilt Recovery for Men

Frank Rich’s Rebuilt Recovery is a holistic platform that helps men with their physiques and provides personalized coaching for men whose goal is to break free from porn addiction. According to him, “the mission with Rebuilt Recovery is to help men become better men by quitting porn and rebuilding their lives.” Thus, Rebuilt Recovery has free resources, courses, programs, and both 1-1 and group coaching to help men achieve freedom. 

Frank Rich believes “a world free of pornography addiction would be a much more loving world to live in. We would have stronger, more masculine men of honor, respect, and integrity, and this would produce better families, communities, and society at large.”

Steps to Overcoming Pornography Addiction

The internet has several blessings, but one of its significant downsides is how it’s made pornography easily accessible, which poses a challenge for many men. From a very young age, several boys become exposed to pornography content. It’s worse that there’s been an increased acceptance of pornography with no regard for the numerous disadvantages. It is a significant problem, and Frank Rich is an advocate for addressing it holistically. He believes the first step in addressing this would be helping those men who are already caught up in it to find freedom. Another step is making resources and proper education available to men. That underscores what his team now does with the Super Human Life Podcast, which addresses it from every angle. Breaking this addiction highlights his “7 Step Guide To Living Life Without Porn.”

Integrity and Alignment

Frank Rich has always been a person of integrity, and it was why he felt he was living a fake life living with his pornography addiction for several years even though he was successful on other fronts. To him, “it isn’t about what you say you’re going to do; what matters most is what you actually do.” To lead a life of integrity and be successful at it, Frank Rich believes it is important to live in alignment with your values, principles and set standards. “Living in alignment means knowing what you want in life, which you need to become to achieve it, and walking that out daily in an intentional and aggressive approach of becoming that man.”
