No one can escape it. Unless you live on a deserted island somewhere in the middle of the South Pacific, you experience stress on a daily basis. It's impossible to avoid. Hours in stop and go traffic; poor working conditions; family issues; bad nutritional choices; and money problems are just a few of the negative factors that face us on a daily basis. Many people who find it difficult coping with these issues turn to medication for a solution. Unfortunately, medication can become a double edged sword. While it may provide a temporary "fix" it generally doesn't last. In fact, medication could ultimately impact the overall picture by adding addiction to the list of stress factors. So what's a person to do? That's the question that Mary Havelock answers in "Meditation, Motivation and More".

Grit, dirt and sweat. We often forget that we exist in a world of filth. We abstract away our dilemmas and consider ourselves creatures of serendipity and fortune. Filth to Faith examines the real world of grime. Filth to Faith looks at pornography, its outcomes and its endeavors. John Boychuk takes us on a journey into the pornography industry as it affects us personally. But there is hope. On the other side of pornography addiction is true hope. This book examines what it means to break free from extreme pornography addiction. Right next to a very real picture of pornography and its effects on us, John illustrates the very real "exit" from this compulsion and world of dirt and grime. Nothing short of a "how to" guide on breaking pornography addiction, Filth to Faith looks at Surgeon General reports, popular statistics, personal accounts, research material and more to create a very real picture of pornography...

From the age of seven to the age of approximately thirty-seven, I was addicted to pornography. By the age of thirty-seven, I was experiencing such emotional, psychological, and spiritual pain as a result of the addiction that I frequently wanted to kill myself. Through a series of events, I began seeking help in getting free from that addiction. It has not been an easy journey, but I can say that now, at the age of forty-seven, I have been walking in freedom from the addiction for years – freedom that I once thought was impossible. You, too, can experience this same freedom if you want it – of that I am convinced. In this book I share the story of my personal journey into pornography addiction and my subsequent journey to freedom from the same.
