Useful tips, but taking the entirely wrong attitude towards recovery by M. Faruqi (Syracuse, NY)  3 Stars
November 04, 2009
From someone who has recently stopped smoking through Allen Carr's Easy way to quit smoking, I have an idea of what helped me along that process (or the addiction process in general) and an understanding of things that may not have. I turned to this book because it was specific to quitting pornography.
To start with, Dr. Skinner does a great job of illuminating the "reaction sequence." This little illustration in his book, along with a description of what you feel when facing an addiction, is phenomenal and does help with self awareness. Therefore the first half of the book is down to earth, encouraging and great. And then comes the second half..
He spends most of the second half saying.. You'll fail.. You'll fail and should continue therapy.. It's dam tough, and yeah you'll fail so keep someone close. Absolutely no positivity, I was almost considering resuming my addiction because he made it seem so hopeless [in stark contrast to Allen Carr's optimism which I found inspiring]. In addition, way too much of a moral overtone and help seeking from "God." This is an addiction, I think we have all tried whining to a higher power and it hasn't gotten us far. Jokes aside if you want to have faith great, but he certainly didn't do a good job incorporating that aspect in.
In conclusion, good read, but pick it up if you want to learn more about your addiction, not if you want some inspiration to start or continue your journey.

great for therapy by Smith Addiction Services (Greenville SC)  5 Stars
August 13, 2009
This book has basic condensed skills that is helpful for treating porn addiction. I like the exercises and the graphs that the client can complete and learn from. It is also a faster way for the theraputic process than the usual psychotherapy.

Very Helpful by Anonymous 5 Stars
February 16, 2009
I have been in a 12 step program for sexual recovery for years and this
book put things in a new way that was very helpful. Rather than just
depending on a vague higher power there are very concrete tools and processes to use in this book. The author certainly understands pornography addiction thoroughly (unlike most therapists) and talks about it in a way that any pornography addict can relate to. A definite addition to a toolkit to deal with this horrible addiction

Excellent starting place by Dr. John Laughlin (Glenn Dale, MD) 5 Stars
December 04, 2008
This is one of the best books on the subject and what criticism there is of it is the reuslt of viewing one book as all conclusive. This gets right to the heart of the problem in clearly written prose. It is practical, which many others filled with theory and history of the problem are not.
The exercises will help your understand the problem from your own life experience and can give you the self understanding to know how you got addicted and what you need to do to get past the fastest growing addiciton in this country, if not the world.
At the end the author shares his favorite books on the subject, a joy for bibliophiles.

Treating P. Addiction by Gary R. Breig (Jacksonville, AR) 5 Stars
August 14, 2008
This booklet is helping some folks to recover from rather difficult addiction. It is precise in talking about the challenges and has a good set of CDs that accompany the program. I would only hope there would be DVD support in future.

Some people use sex to medicate their feelings and/or cope with stress much in the same way as others would use alcohol or drugs. Lack of sexual self-control can manfest in the form of excessive use of porn sites, phone sex, and strip bars; it can lead to multiple infidelities, risky sexual behavior, bankruptcy, or the loss of a job due to their out of control behaviors. Rooted in shame and low self-esteem, there is little satisfaction gained from the sexual activites and rarely an interest in...
