Regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, political persuasions,

or any other diversifying factor, porn can impact anyone. If you've recognized the harmful effects of pornography in your life

or recognize the harms pornography can cause in society, we welcome you to become a fighter

and take the fighter pledge. As fighters, we strive to be bold, understanding, open-minded,

and accepting. If you're ready to become an official fighter, we invite you to read the full

fighter pledge and sign it at FtnD.org forward slash fighter pledge. That's Ftndndt.org

forward slash fighter pledge. My name is Garrett Johnson, and you're listening to Consider

Before Consuming, a podcast by Fight the New Drug.

And in case you're new here, Fight the New Drug is a non-religious and non-legislative organization that exists to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography,

by raising awareness on its harmful effects using only science facts

and personal accounts. We want these conversations to be educational, uplifting, and hopeful.

As we sit down with experts, influencers, activists, and people with personal accounts,

we cover a wide variety of topics that may be triggering to some. You can refer to the episode notes for a specific trigger warning.

Listener discretion is advised.

Today's conversation is with Eddie Caparucci.

He's from Georgia.

He's a licensed therapist and is certified to help people who struggle with compulsive sexual behavior.

With that being said, let's jump into the conversation.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Consider Before Consuming.

We want to welcome to the podcast, Eddie.
