9th Inning Project is a recovery community designed specifically for men who want to break free from sex and porn addiction, achieve lasting sobriety, and rebuild trust in their relationships.
This program is for men who are tired of fighting alone and want a tribe of like-minded men committed to recovery.
We provide daily accountability check-ins, recovery groups, and one-on-one coaching to help men stay engaged in recovery and continue moving forward.

Is this becoming a problem?
ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS...
Have you tried to stop and can't?
Do you feel the shame after and still go back anyway?
Are you keeping it hidden, working to keep your story straight, and living a double life?
Do you find yourself crossing lines you once said you never would?
Is it starting to impact your finances or your time?
Is it affecting your focus, your career, and your family?
What starts in secrecy rarely stays contained.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and there is a way forward.
Two ways to stop fighting alone
1:1 COACHING
Focused support for men who want a clear plan and someone walking with them through it.
You are not working with someone who only understands this in theory, but someone who has lived it and knows what it takes to change.
Whether you are early in the struggle or dealing with more established patterns, we meet you where you are.
Willpower matters. But if willpower were enough, you would Already be free .
Real recovery begins when you stop trying to manage this alone and start building something different. At 9th Inning Project, we help men put three things in place: a coach, a plan, and a team.
This is where change actually begins.
And it is where your life can start moving in a new direction.
A COACH
Someone who has lived it, not just studied it. Focused, personal support as you confront addiction and rebuild, with a confidential space to talk honestly, develop a clear recovery strategy, and build the habits that support lasting freedom.
A PLAN
The 9th Inning Recovery Pathway helps men understand the nature of addiction, uncover patterns rooted in past wounds, replace destructive beliefs with truth, establish guardrails that protect recovery, and rebuild identity and purpose in Christ.
A TEAM
Men who understand the fight and are committed to walking the road of freedom together. Weekly meetings are built on accountability check-ins, focused teaching, honest discussion, and practical exercises for the week ahead.

Questions You May Be Carrying
You may have questions you are not ready to say out loud yet. That is okay.
Most men who reach out do not have everything figured out. They just know something is not working anymore, and they do not want to keep doing this alone. These answers are here to help you understand what to expect before you take the next step.
Real men. Real stories.
