Impact

I work at a huge tech company, and we usually deal with websites that can host pornography. People made jokes about it at first, including my coworkers. I introduced them to FTND and its informational side regarding what porn does to the brain. Anyways, a few days ago, my buddy at work let me know it’s made an impact on him and that he’s going to stop consuming porn. I feel really good about it. It’s hard being a woman in technology (especially because we are outnumbered 4:1) but it’s even harder when objectification of women is something that’s just happening in front of our faces without even knowing the true effects of it on our brain long term. I feel like I bring important things to the table being a lady in tech, and FTND has been a significant thing in my life. I’m spreading it like wildfire. I’m tired of it being the norm.

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for all you’re doing to shed light on this awful, addictive drug. Personally, I have suffered with porn addiction since I was 7. I caught my brother watching an inappropriate movie and it sparked my innocent curiosity. It has gotten worse since then, but I’ve had the courage to talk to my husband about it and it feels good to know that he loves me and wants to help me overcome this addiction. It has affected my life for way too many years, and I’m sick of it! I’m taking a stand to stop and get in control of my life. I’ve been trying so hard to resist. The last time I slipped up, it made my anxiety so bad. I’ve noticed when I have watched porn, my anxiety is out of control. And when I don’t watch porn, I start feeling like myself, and my anxiety isn’t nearly as bad or frequent. Thank you again for all you’re doing!
