“I can’t tell you all how much happier I am since I’ve stopped watching porn…I was so unhappy with my life. It’s a drug, no doubt about it. “

Like most people, I was exposed to porn at an early age. My family was verbally and emotionally abusive…porn became my substitute, and my coping mechanism.

Women can be addicted to porn too. It’s not just a “male problem.” I was married and had children before I confided in my husband.

Why aren’t we talking more about this? People need to come out of hiding and get help. So what did I do? I bought a bold, red, “Porn Kills Love” tee shirt.

“I thought I was strong enough to fight through what was occurring but instead it was eating away at me. Porn has warped that man’s mind and hurt his abilities to have a fulfilling relationship.”

“That feeling of being alone changed my junior year in college when a counseling group was started for women struggling with pornography. I walked into that room and it hit me that I wasn’t alone.”

What started a decade ago as a group of college friends who shared a passion for positively impacting the world has grown into a worldwide movement of millions. These are some milestones we’ve enjoyed along the way.

“Hey, did you see that new video?” or, “I found a new porn website.” I didn’t really understand what they meant at the time.

“I spent the last 6 years hating myself, considering myself a monster, a disgrace to society and a poor excuse for a human being.”

Since then, our relationship as father and son has blossomed into something more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined.

He makes zero attempts to initiate sex and even calls it a “chore,” saying that he gets to “enjoy himself instead of having to focus on satisfying someone else” because it “gets old.”
