Real Men Stories: Addiction, Adultery, and Restoration



Unmasking the Broken Path: A Journey from Darkness to Redemption

In the raw and unfiltered landscape of male vulnerability, James Dalton's story emerges as a powerful testament to the transformative power of radical honesty and divine grace. From a life fractured by serial infidelity, porn addiction, and alcoholism to a journey of profound spiritual restoration, Dalton's narrative shatters the illusion that a man's past defines his future. Through gut-wrenching transparency and unwavering commitment to recovery, he demonstrates how men can break generational cycles of pain, rebuild shattered relationships, and discover an identity rooted not in shame, but in God's unconditional love and redemptive power.



Real Men Stories: Addiction, Adultery, and Restoration (EP. 951)

Three Key Highlights:

  1. Radical Honesty Heals Relationships - James demonstrated the power of complete disclosure, writing a 17-page document revealing all details of his infidelity to his wife and an age-appropriate version for his children. This transparency, though difficult, rebuilt trust and created the most authentic relationships with his family, proving that hiding secrets only perpetuates damage.

  2. Identity Transformation Through Faith - James transformed from a man living a double life controlled by addiction (porn, sex, alcohol) to someone who understands his true identity in Christ. He moved from self-destruction to purposefully breaking generational cycles of sin, recognizing that his worth comes from God's love, not his past mistakes.

  3. Community and Accountability Are Critical for Recovery - James credits the Real Men Connect ministry as a crucial support system in his healing journey. By connecting with other men, being transparent about his struggles, and maintaining daily accountability, he found the strength to overcome addiction and rebuild his marriage and family relationships.


James Dalton is a 20-year veteran in the high-stakes world of cybersecurity software sales, which means he’s spent two decades outmaneuvering hackers, closing massive deals, and probably explaining to his in-laws (for the hundredth time) what he actually does for a living.


But let me tell you something—James isn’t just a powerhouse in business. More importantly, he’s a devoted husband, a committed father, and one of the most solid brothers in Christ I know. He’s been married to his incredible and beautiful wife, Anna, for 22 years.


Together, they’ve raised three amazing kids—Gianna (20), Maya (18), and Louis (15)—while building a life rooted in their faith, family, and, of course, some legendary backyard barbecue skills.
