The Hero's Journey

In the epic story of the Odyssey, Ulysses instructs his men to tie him to his ship's mast to prevent him from answering the seductive call of the Sirens. He knows if he's left to his own impulses, he will dive into the ocean and drown, drawn by an irresistible promise of eternal bliss.
 
Anyone struggling with an addiction to pornography knows this call.
 
Even if we’ve never used the term “addiction” to describe our use of pornography, we are diverted from life by the Sirens' call – the alluring yet false call to feel at peace.
 
Like the call of the Sirens in the Odyssey, the allure of porn is both seductive and strong. It plays on biology, shame, and fear to trick us. In the short term, it works.
 
We repeatedly answer the Sirens' call even if it:
 
  • Keeps us stuck in isolation
  • Costs us a job
  • Leads to legal issues
  • Ends a marriage
  • Causes impotence
  • Wastes time
  • Diverts us from life
  • Creates unrealistic expectations of women and sex
  • Creates shame and feelings worthlessness
It’s been said about all addictions: they aren’t a stopping problem, they’re a starting problem.
 
Every man hooked on porn has quit many times – thrown out his stash, erased his disks and hard drives, deleted his browser cache and history – yet found them self right back where they started.
 
Within each addict is the voice of a man who knows something is very wrong and needs help. He may not know how to ask, who to ask, or what to ask for, but at some point he is willing to try anything. You may be at that point now.

The Power Of The Crew

There's help out there – help that can restore you to your true self. The irony is that getting in touch with your true self asks you to see beyond your addictive self. For that, you need the assistance of others.
 
If you could do it alone, you already would have.
 
A connection to community can wake you up from the trance-like bubble porn creates. Getting in touch with the real world is the key to recovery.
 
To avoid losing himself in the Sirens' trance and become distracted from his true calling – his authentic self – Ulysses put faith in his crew when he knew he couldn’t trust himself.
 
More Than Words: Surrender and Accountability
 
In Sons of Ulysses you must give up the illusion of self-control and the notion that you can “go it alone.”
 
Sons of Ulysses is a program that equips you with a trusted crew of coaches and like-minded men to help stop the addictive cycle of porn addiction.
 
A community multiplies your awareness and accountability far beyond what you could do by yourself. When you willingly open your life to others, the addiction can’t hide in the shadows. You are seen and heard, and the illusion is exposed.
 
Ulysses was clever, yet without his crew he would have failed. The challenges he faced and how he overcame them inspired us to use his story. Sons of Ulysses is a relevant story for anyone who wants a life that has meaning and clarity of purpose.
 
Sons of Ulysses offers a chance at such a life by providing you with:
 
  • A daily structure that supports emotional awareness and self-care
  • Accountability for “bottom line” behaviors
  • Awareness of triggers that put your sobriety at risk
  • A clear understanding of the costs of continued use
  • A relapse program to support your progress
  • A crew of men offering mutual support after completion of the program
  • An opportunity to give back by serving as a mentor to future Sons
Sons of Ulysses transforms every program participant into a crew of committed men who fiercely support each other. Professional coaches who are personally active in their own recovery support every crew. Through the strength of the group and the guidance of a coach you will be empowered to come to your own aid.
Program Basics

Sons of Ulysses recovery program includes:
 
  • An eight-week online program
  • Weekly lessons with information and inspiration
  • Weekly live groups facilitated by your coach
  • One on one sessions with your coach
  • Online discussion forums

  • The Ulysses Contract: empowering others to enforce your limits

The common thread connecting this process is the knowledge that you are not alone. Every step of the way, someone has your back and you have someone else’s.

A Commitment to Recovery

Sons of Ulysses is a unique online program. You won’t find anything like it anywhere else. “Sons” works because it is based on time-tested principles and tools of recovery.
 
Beyond anything else, Sons of Ulysses works because of the commitment demanded from each participant. Before any man can be invited to join the crew and begin the journey of recovery from porn addiction, he must be all in.
 
Sons of Ulysses isn’t just a passing, “Okay, I’ll try this” self-help trick. "Sons" is limited to men who are serious, ready and willing to rid their life of porn. We don’t require perfection, but we do require commitment.
 
If you are you ready to live a life characterized by:
 
  • Integrity
  • Transparency
  • Passion
  • Intimacy
  • True sexual pleasure
  • Community
  • Connection
  • Adventure
  • Personal growth
  • Genuine happiness
Sons of Ulysses will show you the way.
