After the Glow offers a clear, compassionate path out of compulsive pornography use in a culture that monetizes attention and rewards constant stimulation. Blending clinical insight with a calm, humane voice, this book maps the mechanics of habit and explains how cue-routine-reward loops take root in stressed, lonely, or overextended lives. It uncovers the science behind dopamine, why novelty escalates, and how secrecy erodes relationships. Instead of panic, it offers a practical, sustainable method that fits into ordinary days.
Across thoughtful chapters, you will learn to:
– Read your personal “weather” and measure patterns honestly
– Surf urges and delay impulses until the wave breaks
– Redesign your environment, rooms, routines, and devices, so the preferred choice becomes the easy one
– Repair trust with candor and kindness, not performances
– Choose between abstinence and tightly structured control, with clear decision rules
– Address anxiety, depression, attention issues, and trauma that keep the loop alive
– Protect adolescents with real digital literacy, without scare tactics
– Prevent relapse through small, repeatable repairs and the return of meaning
Respectful of both science and conscience, After the Glow speaks to individuals, partners, parents, and helpers. It keeps the prose non-explicit and the focus on reclaiming sleep, presence, and intimacy. The result isn’t just fewer bad nights; it’s a life organized by steady contours rather than spikes.
