Impact

I know you guys probably get hundreds of DMs, but I just wanted to thank the people who run this account. I have struggled with porn since I accidentally came across it on Pinterest (of all the places) when I was 10 years old. My entire childhood/young adulthood has been plagued by the horrible cycle of guilt, shame, resistance, redemption, and inevitable pain again that comes from a life of porn addiction. And it hurts so badly to know that my feelings are nothing compared to those of the people I helped exploit. It’s haunting. On nights that I’m struggling, getting on Instagram and reading your stories gives me the strength to say no. Thank you for helping me in the fight for real love. I fight for the dignity of every person.

Hi there! I only recently came across your site and Twitter. I know it sounds incredibly silly, but I didn’t even consider that I may have a porn compulsion because I didn’t watch it every day or week or on a regular basis, but just sometimes when I felt like it. Now that I’ve tried to stop, I seem to be going through a rough patch of really wanting to watch it the past few days, and I keep thinking, “Eh, what’s just a bit of it?” but your tweets keep me going! They remind me it’s possible to stop completely and that it’s important for so many reasons to keep fighting. So, thank you so much. I’m so grateful when I see you on my timeline, not just for myself, but for everyone struggling.
