Hi Im not sure if I should post it here. Im definitely keen on getting the book, but the problem is I dont have a credit card. Do you guys have any idea how else I could get the book? I normally use internet banking for most transactions, but that would be able to done only in NZ not overseas. Any Suggestions?

Hi...

I'm not quite certain if there is an option to use PayPal or SolidTrustPay on the No Porn com. website. It's been 6 months or so that I went to that registration page. Send Administration an e-mail with your enquiry. I'm sure that they can help. Hope you find the solution to your quip. Best of luck and have a great day.

JC, I'm happy to send you a free copy if you can't process the payment. We have a number of donors here who have helped provide copies for others who can't afford it or who may not have a credit card. Please send your email request to tenkeys@no-porn.com.

My best to you.

Hey...

I haven't had any demons around for over a week and a half, now. I got my computer serviced last week and had a brand new Hard-Drive installed before I leave South Korea and go back to Canada next month. The tech-guy delivered my computer this Monday and it's running in tip-top condition. So I'll be damned if I'm going to mess things up and download any of that crap onto my computer ANYMORE. It's finally over. I'm going back to Canada and I'm getting out of this place(South Korea). This is a brand new beginning. I am so "keyed-in" right now.

I just bought the book Ten Keys to Breaking Pornography Addiction. I didn't have time to read it at home but I emailed it to my office and read it some during work yesterday. I confess I read over 30 pages in a matter of 15 to 20 minutes and that includes re-reading several pages. I am currently on chapter 3 and for the first time I believe I will be able to get the help I need along with a support group that will over time help me control my addiction. Thank you thank you thank you 3,000 times thank you for the book you have written.

I just finished reading this last night. Man, I could have written this book (not that it would have had the same stories) because so many times it sounded like what I have done. Thank you so much, for both the book and these forums. If even for these 7 days, my life feels healed of some of the BS I have been carrying for far too long. I'm sure this is a book I will read again and again.

This was the first book that I have read on P addiction...because of course I didn't think they I needed something like this. I could always stop if I wanted to. No more believing the lie from the beast inside of me. It is time for victory over this addiction and this book gave me the convidence for the first time in my life that this can be conquered.

Well worth the cost and the time.

Wes;
I just finished reading this, and wanted to thank you for writing this book. As I was reading, I saw myself reflected in so many ways throughout the pages.

The description of your daydream about the female co-worker really struck a raw nerve with me.
I have had the similar fantasy, and felt(feel) sick and corrupted by it. It is (reassuring?) to know that no matter how confused, odd, or depraved we may feel, there is probably someone out there that also feels the same way, and that there is hope of digging out.

This book is written in simple language, and is a quick read - and I feel it, along with the support forum, is a resource that I will turn to over and over again, when I need more support.

I also appreciated the symbolism of the 'beast' living inside the midbrain, acting as a ventriloquist. I find simple metaphors like this useful in understanding deeper pschological concepts that, as a layman, can easily get lost in professional language.

I am highly appreciative of the secular tone of the text, as well. On my previous attempt to address my problem, I found only religious resources online, and they didn't quite resonate with me. I liked that you acknowledged your faith, and the role it plays in recovery, without beating the reader over the head with it.

For those of you wondering if you have come to the right place and found a good starting place - The answer is Yes.

I just wanted to drop a note to say thank you. I found this site and your book on Monday. I have been battling this addiction for 23 years. I didn't realize I was battling it until a few years ago. I got serious about it a little over 2 years ago and started getting help. I had come a long way, but couldn't seem to get over that last hump. I feel like I have finally found the tools I need to be completely successful in staying sober. Reading your book made me feel like it was written for me. You expressed things clearly that I had always struggled to explain to my wife. I read her many excerpts last night and it really helped her to understand 1) that what I had been telling her was true, and 2) that I had found something that was really going to help me. So thank you so much for having the courage to share your experience and give so many of us an outlet and a community to rely on to help us all stay sober.

Thank you!

The most significant thing I took from this book was reading about the voice of the addiction, the beast. This has been the single most powerful revelation to me in my recovery to date. I am not the voice. The beast is not me.

To stand outside the voice and watch its sneaky snaky attempts is to know that it's not really me who wants to live lustfully. I am not the voice. And I have discovered deep anger at the voice since learning this. It has taken nothing less than my life from me and no matter how many times I said I would not listen to it, I have been seduced over and over by it. I'm like a bashed wife returning again and again to a violent husband who tells me what it knows I want to hear, and who knows that I will return and continue to be a weak victim. Even now that I have learnt about it and am inspired anew to conquer this voice, it speaks to me coolly and with such confidence that I will return eventually and be seduced, no matter what I am saying right now.

So this revelation is both inspiring (I am not the voice), and grounding (the voice has seduced me many times and is confident it can do it again).

Much of what you read about porn addiction is useful, but it's like milk when you need meat. Apologies to vegetarians, but this is meaty stuff. Thank you Wes for this profound revelation.
