What Gary did for me is just beyond. Back when I was stuck in a rut and very little content was available for my addiction, watching Gary Wilson's video over and over again made me feel that what I was feeling was not because of an internal defect but rather what the consumption around me had sunken me into. I know Gary is in a better place because he truly helped humankind and did right by so many including strangers like myself. Rest In Power!

Thank You Gary for helping myself, and countless others, open our eyes to the destructive reality of internet pornography.

Back in 2013 I was a wreck, filled with anxiety and in a very dark place mentally. After seeing your Ted talk and reading through YBOP I realised my "healthy habit" was actually an incredibly damaging addiction. Since then I've rebuilt my confidence, entered into healthy relationships and got to enjoy my 20's as any young man should. It's an ongoing battle but one I can more easily fight with heroes like yourself on my side.

Your work will continue to educate and save generations of young men and women who will no doubt fall victim to this awful drug. So I say again, Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

May you Rest in Peace.

I don't know how I first came across Gary and his work, but all I can say is that I am incredibly indebted to this great man's tireless work to help millions of men who are struggling with the one of the most underreported addictions - porn addiction.

Not only did his book help me a great deal, but his interviews always gave me strength that I could get better, and even though I still haven't fully conquered this addiction, I have had amazing periods of abstinence which made me feel born again and truly happy. So I know that I can conquer this, and it's all because of you Gary.

Thanks for everything you have done, and I'll do my part to spread your work to my friends and family.

Condolences to the family.

Gary was instrumental in helping to change my life, as well as millions of others as well. I am very thankful for having been able to receive his help through his work, which he selflessly carried out to assist those who needed it the most. There is no doubt in my mind that Wilson's contributions towards the greater good will be felt for many generations to come. Gary has planted the seed, and so he leaves it up to us to honor his work by contributing to a future that we could all be proud of. My heartfelt condolences goes out to his family and loved ones.

Gary only recently touched my life, I am so sad to hear of his passing. I hoped to draw on his wisdom for years to come (I still will). My heart goes out to you Marnia especially, my personal relationship with my partner has been so enriched by your approach and techniques, and I can't imagine the gap left from losing Gary. So, small as it may be, I feel the tears rising for you all who are left behind, and may the changes and awareness he has brought about allow some part of him to live on.

Thank you Gary Wilson and family for your work to introduce the issue of porn addiction into the public forum and helping countless young men with an issue many are embarassed to discuss and admit. It's up to us to carry on his spirit and energy with this upcoming young generation that have been raised with phones tablets and computers in their hands that will inevitably affect their brain with this addiction.

He changed my life through his research and book. Maybe without him, I wouldn't be able to live without realizing porn is an addiction.

Gary Wilson, I'm deeply sorry for hearing this...
But the most important thing is that you got the message across.
Your work will live forever as long as the machine(male brain) programed to overconsume this "out of stimulus" called porn will continue to exist.
Your death is affecting me profoundly Gary.
For you reader, if you are still struggling with this ''evolution mistake'' that led to the creation of the thing called porn,
Remember that it's miserable.

Gary Wilson was one of those rare individuals that saw something and tried his best to do something about it. He lived his life with integrity, authenticity, courage and compassion. I personally appreciate all the work he has done to spread the message and share the facts and research on the harms of internet porn use. He has helped so many people and has left this world a slightly better place for it. God bless you Gary, and my condolences to his family and friends. He will be very much missed.

My deepest condolences to Marnia. And my deepest gratitude to Gary for his life-changing work. I cannot be thankful enough for his contribution, and I will always think of him as I spread his word. Thank you, Gary Wilson.

My debt of gratitude is eternal. A life of freedom is what I can feel grateful for.

I've really struggled with Pornography addiction. His research and clear explanations really helped me get through some of my darkest times. I will continue to fight with the knowledge he helped me build.
Soon the world won't even remember the pain caused by death and pornography. We'll see you again one day, Gary. (Revelation 21:4)

Thanks, Mr. Wilson.

Gary was a true blessing to my life and many others his work on exposing the dangers of porn has moved my mind in a way more positive direction. Thank God for this man.

Thank you for sharing a message that has undoubtedly changed many lives. Rest in peace

I re-visited YBOP today after a long leave and was shocked to find that Gary has passed away. I am so sad, a great leader of a great community has left us forever. Thank you so much for revealing to me the negative effects of porn from a scientific point of view. Your work is fantastic and it really helped me. May you rest in peace.

Gary先生，真诚感谢您的付出和努力。

Mr. Wilson touched the lives of countless people around the world. He dedicated himself to a cause, which is more than most of us can say. His legacy will remain for a long time, if not forever.

Gary's inspiring work improved my life and the lives of many is only topped by the time and dedication he spent defending it, and the people who he was helping. Though I never met him in person he was one of the blessings of my life.

For the first time after reading the book i have realized how porn hijacks the mind.

Rest in peace

Gary Wilsons TED-Talk saved my life. It's the most important video I have ever watched in my life.
6 Years ago I was addicted to porn. Today I am six years porn and masturbation free and I love my new self!
I am 41 years old, married and have three children. I am 100% commited to my life as a father and husband again and this new life is a source of constant joy for me. My dopamine system has been rebooted.
Thank you Gary and Marnia for your incredible work and insights around the extremely important topic of porn addiction.
I love you both for the work you have done!
