  Post:
This book changed my whole perspective on my use of porn and my sex addiction. While not fully recovered yet, this book has contributed to my longest recovery attempts so far and I look forward to even longer recoveries & full recovery in the near future.

Advice for Significant Others:

My recommendation to spouses is to buy a copy of the book, read it cover to cover to gain an understanding of the forces at play in the pornography addiction and then leave the book lying around where the spouse (who is possibly addicted) might stumble upon it on their own. Whatever you do, do not give it to them nor try to make them read it - that WILL backfire and the book will go unread. I believe that if an addict reads it voluntarily, out of their own curiosity, their use may change dramatically by gaining a greater understanding of their affliction and what they can actually do to help themselves.

" I am currently reading this book as well, and find it very good. It's the best out of three porn recovery books I ordered (though "In the shadow of the net" is also pretty good) The writers know what they are talking about. They include stories from real porn users and their recovery attempts. It speaks true to my own experiences and feelings. They outline solutions not only for couples, but also for individuals. I'm not all the way through, but I am hopeful that it will help me keep the hope alive and not go back to my old habits. The book is comforting , know I am not alone in my addiction. "
