I just want to pass on this book that my husband credits for helping him soooo much, but I never hear anyone else talk about. It's called Willpower is Not Enough by A. Dean Byrd and Mark D. Chamberlain. (Make sure you get the authors right, there is another book with the same title). It was printed in 1995 so it can be hard to find, but there are some on amazon right now and it looks like it is available for kindle.
It's not only specific to porn addiction, but any behavior you want to change. It really helped Mr. Smith understand why he could NOT overcome his addiction on his own, but that there is hope through Christ. It has helped me as well!

I also really liked another book by Mark D. Chamberlain, Love You, Hate the Porn. It really helped me see that I was not wrong for not agreeing with the detachment model that was being heavily pushed 3 years ago, which helps a lot of wives, but I did NOT find helpful at all. I really wanted Mr. Smith and I to be able to turn to each other instead of away from each other, and this was super helpful for me. When you are both ready for recovery, read it together.
