Fight the new drug


Hey, just read about this campaign, "Fight the New Drug," which will specialize in the facts about pornography addiction.  Check out this article in Deseret News.  And here is their website.

This is an exerpt from the website:

"We may not be able to control the spread or availability of pornography, and based on its prevalence, no matter how much we try to avoid it, we will eventually be exposed. But we can vaccinate ourselves now with education. We can learn of its addictive potential and the dangers that accompany it. We can educate those around us and educate everyone within our influence. The pandemic has spread too far and become too common for us to brush the responsibility off of our own shoulders. If we don't educate then who will? If we don't fight the epidemic then who will? For over 20 years we have known about the potential negative effects of pornography and we have largely ignored the evidence making assumptions that we wouldn't be infected, that we were born with some sort of genetic immunity against its addictive potential. Considering the growth of the pornography industry, the prevalence of it in our society is indisputable, and no one is immune to its influence."

Awesome, thank you. I'll add your link to my Protecting Innocence Project I'm working on... (hopefully will be up and running this Spring.)
