The Power of Doing Something
Hey Reader,
As I read this article I thought about you and everyone else in the recovery community. I just knew I had to share this so that you could have a chance to read it and get take aways too!
This article is by Jose Briones someone I discovered about 2 years ago now. He has his Youtube Channel where he goes into all the dumbphones on the market.
He also wrote a book recently on Digital Minimalism (amazing, btw!) and I'm subscribed to his newsletter and when I read this one, I just knew I had to share it with the recovery community!
It's so relatable and completely accurate of how recovery goes - you must take action! You must get creative and try new things to get results.
Hope you enjoyed the spontaneous Recovery Opportunity!
Warm regards,
Savvy Esposito
P.S. because technology plays a huge role in porn addiction recovery, the best dumbphones for recovery are The Light Phone II and Sunbeam's F1. Well worth the investment if you're detoxing from porn and social media and want to reclaim your time and life back!
My husband, Jak, owns a Light Phone II and loves it! I like to play with it from time to time and enjoy the e-ink screen.
Personally, I have a TCL Flip 2 (unfortunately it has internet access so not exactly the most recovery friendly for early on - but if you're a betrayed partner and want a phone that helps you detox from tech, it's $20). The new Sunbeam F1 Pro user version is being released this month, so it's worth checking out! I know it's on my Christmas list this year!!
P.P.S. for any parents wanting their kids to have a phone without the porn, social media, bullying online, etc. I highly recommend the Sunbeam F1 for kids.

I 100% believe that recovery is possible for anyone who truly wants to recover. I also know from experience that when someone who wants recovery won't do "the thing" they need to do to recover, recovery halts. "The Thing" can look different depending on your history, addiction trajectory, and current situation. The Most Common Blocks (with Recovery Opportunities because I'm feeling extra generous!) Denial When one or both partners are in denial about something that will block progress....
You've most likely heard the saying, "we all have a choice," before. It's true, every single one of us has a choice. In fact, we make hundreds of choices every single day. From the moment you wake up you make a decision to check your phone or not check your phone as the first thing you do. Small choices each day add up to habits over time. To be successful in recovery means to begin making different choices, consistently, over the long haul. Achieving 7.5 years clean meant Jak had to make...
With over 7 years clean and continuing our Recovery Lifestyle, we're in a very different place then we were back then. In our early 20's you can bet we spent more on Black Friday... and we didn't make the best financial decisions. Fast forward to 2023? I bought a budget book for cash stuffing since Jak let me know he feels he is better with money when it's physical ($8) and Jak bought a shelving unit for the basement to organize his stuff ($66). That was it. We spent a whopping $74 this year...
