Craig Perra: Solving the Addiction Paradox

Craig Perra: Solving the Addiction Paradox

In this episode of Alignment First, I sit down with Craig Perra, founder of the Mindful Habit System and host of Sex Afflictions and Porn Addictions. A former attorney turned transformational coach, Craig shares how he rebuilt his life from addiction and shame through self-leadership, integrity, and mindful habits that redefine what it means to be a man in alignment.


Key Takeaways

  1. Addiction isn’t the problem—it’s the solution to unhealed pain.

  2. All behavior is need-seeking behavior; awareness is the first step to change.

  3. Shame isn’t an enemy—it’s a protector pointing us toward integrity.

  4. Self-leadership begins when we learn to lead our “parts” with curiosity, not condemnation.

  5. Healing requires action—identity-reinforcing behaviors that align integrity with intention.
