You! This Article is All About You!

This article is all about you! Enjoy.


When was the last time you read an article that was all about you?


When was the last time that someone sat down and said, “I want to hear all about your greatness!“?


When was the last time that you actually took the time to write about the amazing things you’ve gone through in life? Maybe the people you’ve met, the places you’ve seen, the challenges you’ve overcome?


So I wanted to write an article all about you!


Why? Because we don’t spend enough time looking within, and seeing how special we really are.


Now if you look at the questions below and answer them honestly, and you cannot find anything great about yourself, that means probably that the “victim mindset“ has taken over the subconscious mind, and you have created an internal program that does not allow you to feel gratitude for who you are.


And how do we overcome this?


This might surprise you by answering the questions below honestly!


Everyone has overcome some type of challenge in life, dig deep, and think about what you’ve overcome.


Maybe it’s becoming a solid mature adult when you didn’t have a solid upbringing in your home.


Maybe you’ve overcome a long-standing addiction.


Maybe you’ve actually volunteered time with the homeless, or the blind, or seniors, or some other group that needed your love.

Anyway, let’s get to this exercise because it’s all about you!


Answer the questions below in writing on a piece of paper. Let’s get to it:


Number One. What challenges, or what major challenge have you overcome in life?


As I stated above, we’ve all overcome challenges, write down each one that you’ve overcome. Maybe it’s being raised in a single-parent household that was a challenge at the time.


Maybe you left a career that was really unhealthy, not knowing what you’re going to do next, yet it turned out to be a good move for you.

Maybe you were in a relationship and decided you would never do counseling, and you went into counseling and you actually saw your role in the dysfunction and started to heal yourself!


You might have 20 great things you’ve overcome, or just one, don’t match and compare yourself with others just be grateful for what you’ve overcome.


Number Two. Who have you helped in life when they really needed you?


A friend? A child? A parent? A partner? A next-door neighbor? A homeless person?


Go deep, you may have helped 1000 people in your life but never thought of it until now.


Number Three. Who was your greatest teacher? Your greatest mentor? Have you reached out to them recently and let them know, even if it’s an elementary school teacher, how much they meant to you?


I was watching an NFL football game the other day, and one of the players was talking about two teachers from elementary school that radically changed his life and he’ll never forget them!


And on national TV they both were honored in his name!


Now we probably won’t have the chance to bring these people on TV, but we do have the opportunity right now with gratitude, to write down those people who have touched us deeply.


Number Four. What gift do you have with you today that was given to you at birth?


Are you a very patient person? Very driven for success? Are you very compassionate? Are you very athletic? Are you very intellectual? Are you very creative?


A lot of times we don’t look at the gifts that we were given at birth because they’ve been with us our whole lives and they don’t seem very special.

But they are special! It’s what makes you, you! It’s why I want to celebrate you today! It’s why I want you to reflect back on how beautiful you are as a human being!


Thank God, my world for the past 42 years has been all about helping people.


And I feel so blessed, I have so much gratitude every day that I can do this work that is my passion.


I have now taken this work outside of the normal population I’ve worked with for 42 years, and we’ve created two new programs I’d love for you to take a look at, and please help promote these programs to people you might know:

Helping Americans Heal and Help Veterans Heal!


Focus is mental health, physical health, emotional health, relationship health, and career health.


Again if you know anyone that could benefit from support, both of these programs are incredibly inexpensive, please feel free to share these sites.


And finally, think about how wonderful you are. What you’ve overcome. Who you’ve met. Who has helped you. Who you have helped.

The more we look at how incredible we are individually, the more we can come together as a nation and as a world.


Self-confidence means everything in regards to healing this planet.


I love you.

Even though I’ve been in this industry counseling people on sex, addiction, and porn addiction for 45 years, we have never seen the increase of these two addictions, and they can be quite different, that we’ve seen over the past five years. Porn addiction hijacks the brain, and it makes it very difficult to stay in any type of a committed relationship, because individuals become so used to the constant variety and changing of the different fetishes as well as body types and experiences that the Internet offers up even for free! SEX Addiction, when we’re talking about an individual that must have multiple partners, or someone that even forces their partner to have sex more than maybe the partner wants, it can be a completely different ball game in regard to treatment and recovery. And that’s because of the emotional involvement that many people get into when they have a sex addiction with real people, where that doesn’t happen as frequently if someone is addicted to porn, they may like certain porn actors or actresses, but they don’t create an emotional bond. But as I mentioned above, porn, addiction is nothing to take simple or easy, I have multiple clients right now in their late 20s that started their porn addiction at the age of 10 and even though they have wonderful partners they can’t have sex on a regular basis because they cannot keep an erection due to their craving for variety versus just being with one person. Every Addiction, we treat in a very similar way which might sound surprising, even our new book on permanent alcohol and life recovery, we use most of that information in that book with people who are addicted to sex or porn or food or social media or video games… I think you get the idea so many addictions when we get into treatment are treated in a very similar fashion. First we find the origin of the addiction, which means when did it start, why did it start, how did it start, and how long has it been going on? And we treat the whole person not just the Addiction part of it, because we want the whole person to gain that self-confidence back and self-love, which we lose when we’re involved with any addiction whatsoever. If you’re struggling with porn or sex addiction, go ahead and look at our permanent addiction, recovery page, study deeply study this page and that should give you some good ideas and how we approach all addictions. In 2024, the top addictions that we are working with of course are sex and porn, food, alcohol, pot and social media addiction. The addictions continue to rise in this country and until we get to the origin, which we do our practice, and then add solution steps, so people will not cross addict, or relapse, we have answers for everything. Here is a quote from a woman that I worked with several years ago who never thought she’d be able to break her sex and porn addiction as she was struggling with both. "David shared with me information that was so deep, I had no idea the difference between the porn addiction I had or the addiction I had with phone sex, or with men in general. It was a way for me to escape reality, my work demands a lot of hours, and I was using my sex and porn addiction as a way to give myself a break, sort of like a reward for all the hours I worked. However, it almost cost me my job as I started showing up late on a regular basis because I wanted to get one more orgasm at home before I left for work .” She is now free of both addictions and has been for over 15 years after going through our program. I know you’ll find the same success regardless of what type of sex or porn addiction you’re struggling with right now. Never give up! I will be by your side showing you the way, to complete freedom.
