  How Porn Addiction Cost Me...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Porn didn't wreck my life in one night. It took fifteen years, and it took them quietly. 
   
  A few minutes here. A closed laptop there. Nobody notices the house is burning until they're standing outside it, watching the roof cave in. 
   
  I lost the woman I loved. I lost a job I'd built for eight years. I lost trust in my own body, in a moment I never saw coming, all because of something I kept telling myself I could stop anytime I wanted. 
   
  I couldn't. 
   
  This is the true story of how a habit that felt harmless at fourteen years old hijacked my brain, wrecked my marriage, and left me sitting in a parked car outside an office I no longer had any right to walk into, trying to figure out how a few private minutes had somehow turned into everything. 
   
  It's not just a confession. It's a map. 
   
  You'll sit with me at the kitchen table the night my wife finally learned the truth. You'll sit with me in a doctor's office, hearing a diagnosis I'd been too ashamed to say out loud to anyone, including myself, about what years of this had quietly done to my own body. And you'll learn exactly what was happening inside my brain the whole time: the dopamine, the reward pathways, why the same content stopped working and I kept needing more, and what it actually takes to rewire a brain that spent fifteen years training itself toward the wrong thing. 
   
  I got my life back. Not overnight, and not without a relapse that still embarrasses me to talk about. But back, piece by uneven piece, in a basement full of folding chairs and ordinary men, in a therapist's office, in a version of myself I finally learned how to stand being alone with. 
   
  If you're listening to this in secret, phone brightness turned down, telling yourself you'll quit tomorrow, I know that voice. I lived inside it for fifteen years. If someone you love is caught in it, this book will help you understand what's actually happening to them, and why shame alone was never going to be the thing that pulled them out.

  When The Universe Holds Your...

  For years, Katie Baker wore the mask of a woman who had it all together. On the surface, she was a successful professional, a loving mother, and the embodiment of relentless perseverance. But beneath that carefully crafted facade, the cracks were deepening into fractures too wide to ignore. Haunted by a childhood of instability—marked by alcoholic fathers, sexual, physical, and verbal abuse, a lack of protection, and exposure to addiction—she carried her pain like an invisible weight. Pressured by societal expectations to “buck up,” she buried her wounds under achievement and resilience, holding onto pain and shame well into her late 40s. 
  In this raw and unflinching memoir, Katie takes readers on her journey from rock bottom to radical transformation. Guided by courage and therapeutic psychedelics, she confronted the darkness she had spent a lifetime outrunning—unraveling the shame, guilt, and addiction that had stolen so much from her life. Through profound medicine journeys, she unearthed the lost pieces of herself and reclaimed the life she was meant to live. 
  But this is more than a story of healing—it’s a story of rediscovery. With vulnerability, grit, and humor, Katie reflects on the childhood that shaped her, the courage it took to rebuild, and the light that emerges when we finally face our deepest wounds. 
  For anyone who has ever struggled to find their way back to themselves, When The Universe Holds Your Hair Back is a beacon of hope, redemption, and the powerful reminder that healing is not a destination—it’s a journey home.

  A Handful of Raisins is a heart-stirring memoir about survival, strength and courage. For Michèle Misino de Luca, life began as a series of dark, traumatic episodes and continued as deeply challenging events beset her incessantly throughout her youth. Yet somehow, she rises to value life, viewing it as a miracle. She was five years old when she first felt completely on her own, and although food, clothing and a warm bed were provided, it seemed her survival was not ensured. Every night, when she was handed those raisins, there was a moment of intimacy in her soul. She ate those raisins ever so slowly, savoring not just their sweetness, but the sweetness of a few moments when everything was alright. Imagine being a child seemingly dropped into a dark hole. Nothing around you but strangers. Nothing familiar. Throughout this memoir, readers will gain a true understanding of loneliness and despair, while receiving the gratifying reminder that you do not have to succumb and be formed by your painful experiences. You can become who you say you are, and who you say you are can be based on what you value most. Our author declares herself fully alive and becomes so alive with dignity, wonder and joy. In her groundbreaking and raw story, Michèle Misino de Luca had the tenacity not only to survive, but to thrive. Unwilling to surrender to victimhood, she had to change. She had to find joy. It certainly was not easy, but in a world by herself, she created her own silver lining. This is a memoir about celebrating the fullness of life, written by a truly extraordinary person. This is a story about seeking and accepting the handful of raisins in an otherwise empty room.
