Home Is Hell

Some prisons have no bars. Some hells are quiet. For Davis Shyaka, the perfect home was the perfect trap.

To the outside world, he was the pride of his family-a diligent, responsible student destined for greatness. His teachers adored him, his friends admired him, and his parents saw their sacrifices paying off in the disciplined young man they had raised.

But behind his closed bedroom door, a different story unfolded every night. Fueled by unfettered internet access and the isolation of a private room, a secret addiction to pornography took root, hijacking his brain and systematically dismantling his will to live. This was the work of the "destiny destroyer"-a force that drained his motivation, stole his joy, and pushed him to the edge of the abyss. The more he was praised in public, the deeper he sank in private, crushed by the weight of a double life.

When a global pandemic forces the world into lockdown, what seems like a final prison sentence becomes an unexpected battleground. Faced with a choice between complete surrender and a last, desperate fight, Davis discovers that the only way to escape his prison is to change what's happening inside the cage.

Home is Hell is more than a memoir. It is a raw, unflinching confession, a cautionary tale for the digital age, and a powerful blueprint for taking back control. For the millions of young people fighting this silent war, and for the parents who see the smoke but can't find the fire, this book is a beacon of hope. It is a story of how one young man went from being a ghost in his own home to the guardian of his own future.
