Excellent

This book is excellent. He shares his own struggles but offers hope and a solid way to recover. I will recommend this book to my own clients who struggle with their own open addiction.

I love this book. Because the author is both a recovering addict and a therapist who specializes in sex and porn addiction recovery, the book contains personal insight as well as knowledge gained from years of study and working with numerous others in various stages of recovery. I can relate to the personal stories, and trust the guidance and direction given. As a female in recovery, I appreciate the thought the author put into making the language and the content applicable to anyone who reads this book. The chapters are short and easy to read. This makes it a great resource for those days I'm struggling and need some inspiration to bolster my commitment. Of all the recovery resources I've used, Life After Lust is the one I keep close by and refer to most often.
