36 - Live interview with “Dovid”

Dovid grew up in Southern California as the middle child in a family of eleven. His mother died when he was only seven. He was sexually abused at a young age which led to struggles with unwanted same sex attraction since he was about twelve. He's done a significant amount of healing and recovery work, including participation in Jewish programs as well as Programs within Brothers Road along with counseling with Guard Your Eyes, a Jewish organization that helps people who struggle with porn addiction. Dovid is also finishing up his Masters of social work 



You can contact Dovid via Guard Your Eyes at dovidgreen41@gmail.com
