In today's episode of the Porn to Purpose podcast, I sat down with Coach Yeadon to talk about ambush zones—those predictable traps where porn temptation strikes hardest. Whether it's late-night screen time, a lonely hotel room, or the stress after a fight at home, these moments can derail recovery if you're not prepared. We share raw stories from our own lives, unpack why willpower almost never works, and show you how awareness, safeguards, and accountability can turn these hidden dangers into preventable victories.

Top 10 Show Highlights:

[00:28] Matt introduces the theme of "Exposing Your Ambush Zones" and why it's essential for lasting freedom.

[02:00] A story of a recovering alcoholic who avoided bars—and how the same principle applies to porn addiction recovery.

[03:15] Matt describes how he feels strong in daylight, around people, but vulnerable late at night alone with a computer.

[05:00] The difference between obvious traps (like strip clubs) and hidden ones (like stress, conflict, or downtime).

[06:40] Yeadon shares a "slippery spot" story—slipping in the mud during a race—as a metaphor for falling when you least expect it.

[08:25] The danger of drifting through your day without awareness—why complacency is the enemy of recovery.

[10:15] Common ambush zones: business trips, late-night screen time, weekends alone, conflict with loved ones, and boredom.

[12:45] Yeadon's raw example: feeling the pull during his father's surgery week, exhausted and alone in his office.

[14:20] The power of "telling on yourself"—getting visible with brothers instead of hiding in silence.

[16:45] The three-part strategy: (1) have a strategy in place, (2) create an action plan, (3) build accountability through community.
