Stories provides a space for you to record your experiences keeping yourself and your loved ones safe from pornography and other online filth. You'll be able to share your story, and learn from others stories. We invite parents looking to protect their children, adults who are currently struggling with detrimental online behaviors, and accountability partners, to share your story.
Stories offers two core features: entries (as in, entries to a recovery journal) and setbacks.
Entries
You can post an entry to your story, which makes it publicly available for all users to read. Users can upvote and offer advice and support by commenting. The popular page acts as the home page of the site, showing the most popular (as in, highest upvoted) entries from the past while. The new page shows the latest entries in chronological order.
Our goal with entries is to create a repository of lessons learned and trials faced. Far too often, when dealing with pornography we're left to learn the hard way--by personal experience. By sharing your story, you'll invite others to offer guidance and support specific to you. You'll also create a valuable record of what you've been through--valuable both for you and for other users who read your story.
Setbacks
You can record each time you or your loved one has a setback (aka relapse). Your profile page (accessible by clicking on your username or the button in the top right corner) will then show graphs offering key insights into your setback trends. Recording your setbacks helps you understand when you're most susceptible to temptation. It'll also help you recognize the progress you're making--even if you've recently relapsed. The charts on the profile page are updated daily and can be shared online with other communities to showcase the progress you've made.
We encourage you to start by posting your first entry to your own story, as well as recording as many setbacks as you can recall. Click the Plus icon in the top right corner to get started.
