I’ve been following FTND for many years now, and I agree that just the posts alone don’t stop the addiction in addicts. But they can help be the beginning for change for an addict, and they especially can potentially prevent someone from becoming an addict in the first place. As someone (female) who was unknowingly addicted to it at age 11, I didnt learn until I was 27 that I was addicted. That’s when I stumbled upon FTND and was educated on my physical and mental symptoms and that porn is linked to human trafficking . I’ve been clean ever since, almost 12 years later. And some symptoms still linger, but I know they will fade with time. And I do my part by sharing information like this to others, to bring awareness and compassion, and educate my own children in age appropriate ways to protect their minds, hearts, and those of others by avoiding such images and videos.
