“Willpower’s Not Enough” is the first book I read in recovery and completely changed my view on my addiction and myself. As the title says, willpower is not enough to recover from an addiction like pornography, but as addicts we keep trying to “white knuckle” our way to sobriety. “Willpower’s Not Enough” provides a wide variety of personal stories to show us that our addiction is just a symptom of deeper problems in our life. The three sections tackle the questions “What is addiction?”, “What personal/familial/societal forces led me to addiction?” and “How do I get rid of an addiction?".
If you are just starting recovery or if you support someone in their recovery, get this book to understand what addiction is (and isn’t).
