Gary

I am so grateful for your scientific work. We have exchanged a few emails about publishing "Your brain on porn" in polish.

I've put this project on the shelf for a little while. Today, when I wanted to write to you again, I've realized you're not with us anymore.

This is a hige loss, for the whole scientific community.

Thank you again for all your work and condolences to your family and friends.

Hi gary,

Sorry for the late...

I recently now about your death... So sad to know that.

You where a great person and your TED talks about the impact of pornography bring to light a lot of interrogation on my behavior and make me aware about the danger of pornography.

I didn't succes for stopping porn for now but I'll try my best and I will put more effort.

Thanks for everything,

Rest in peace

Garys book YBOP has been very important for me. It made me realize just how out of control my porn use was and more importantly that I could improve my situation by cutting it out. I was suffering from a whole host of physical health problems, which I thought was simply something I had to live with. I had never thought it could be related to porn. At 31 years having been addicted for probably 13 years I thought my life was over, I had nothing to look forward to: a shitty job i hated, no dating, very few friends, alone most of the times, feeling like an utter failure with most likely undiagnosed depression and anxiety.

I have started my journey of recovery. It has been hard with a lot of setbacks but overall I am confident that I am moving forward. I have started the education I always wanted to do, I have more close friends than I have ever had, I do all sorts of great activities. I still struggle with dating, but I believe it is something that will get better with time and practice. Also most of my physical health problems are completely gone.

So yeah, just a greeting from another soul that Garys work touched.

May his soul rest in peace.

His book "your brain on porn" was a shocking, yet helpful experience that enhanced my way to recovery from porn addiction.

You touched my life Gary and you'll never be forgotten. Thank you!

I owe this man a big deal. He helped me get my life back

Anyone that ever had the privilege to witness Gary Wilson teach something was a lucky person. I don't know that I've ever met anyone that was so knowledgeable, and so eager to spread that knowledge. Gary had a vast comprehension of anatomy, kinesiology, and massage. He would teach that comprehension with a very blunt delivery style, that was intensely practical. Over his career as a teacher, massage therapist, and author, I can't imagine the amount of people he helped. He left an inedible mark on me and the way I work, and I know of many who feel the same way. His candor, wit, and wry sense of humor will be sorely missed. I don't usually cry when people die, but I cried when Gary died.

Condolences for the family and friends.

I have much respect for Dr. Gary, he changed the life of many people around the world. And his legacy will keeps strong and will help much more.

So,thank you for your lessons Dr. Gary, rest in peace.

Respect from Brazil.

I just read about Gary's passing and felt compelled to express my gratitude to him. Finding his book on pornography addiction really helped me understand what was going on. I've tried for a few years to completely curb this behaviour and it was always Gary's words that motivated me to do continue. He really did an excellent job breaking down a complicated subject into easy-to-read articles that gave me insight. His dedication was noble and he appeared to be someone who got great pleasure out of helping people. Reading the public comments I can see that there are millions of others just like me. Gary helped me in my darkest points in life and I will always be grateful.

Gary, you have done a really remarkable job in helping the people struggling with PMO.
I read your book and now and I am feeling really good now fighting against this shitty addiction. This (PMO) caused my confidence to fall down and not being able to focus and concentrate on the studies as well as worsened the memory power!

Thanks for sharing the ways ijn your book to get into NoFap and completely eradicate this addiction.

I am healing now, just day 2 (I failed multiple times) but now I am supremely confident to leave all this stuff and never ever fail again, and that's why I am writing this comment publicly.

I hope that you went to heaven and are near the God now.

Warm Regards

He saved my life and made me a better person. Rest in peace my friend.

Thank you for your gift to beable see through this life's challenges and point at the disinformation that is thrown at us. You and us benefited from you desire and willingness to seek for answers.
Your family has the order correct: Husband, Father, Teacher . . .
I'm a 1956 also, to young to see you go.

Gary Wilson RIP you are my life saver and hero I wouldn't be the man I'm without you putting this information out there. I'm 32 I gained knowledge on this around 24 I slip up from time to time but I get up and move forward. Thankfully my symptoms weren't as bad as some of these people but I really see benefits in many aspects of life not just sexual this is the real deal!

I try to tell other man this and they all look at me like i got 10 heads and I'm crazy. They all think something wrong with me. They believe porn is normal if u don't watch it you are less of a man ! Let them think that one day I'll teach my son this stuff for sure and he better listen.

I'm so grateful that i stumbled upon this back when I was 24 I know this man influenced millions by putting the information out there . Words just cant describe ...

What an incredible message!
Gary, thank you for everything you did. You helped me understand what I was doing to myself and that there was a way out.

Rest in Peace. Your legacy and work will live on forever. Thank you to you and all your friends and family who helped publish your work and website. You're a hero.

He really helped me to quit pornography as I was diagnosed with severe porn addiction. His legacy will always be remembered and His legacy will help many people to come as porn becoming the new internet addiction. RIP hero

I was lost, a disaster of a life, I found Garys book through one of his friends Gabe Deems videos.
Without Gary I don't know where I would be now.
I'm now 7 years porn free, and in a fantastic long term relationship.
Even to this day I bring up Garys work to discuss what porn is doing to so many men in a far reaching negative way.

Thank you man, My happiness is due to your work.

Thank you Gary for your work all these years helping many people to see the truth and overcome their fears by understanding and knowledge; thank you because of your intelligence and the manner to approach to the people, helping many of us to achieve our goals and to be better human beings. God bless you forever MASTER!

لقد كان لك تأثير كبير علي شخصيتي و علي تفكيري و بدوري انا لقد اكملت مسيرتك في توعية الناس علي ترك و البعد عن هذا السم القاتل
لترقد في سلام .

I had the hope that I would meet you one day...
Thank you for your contribution for humanity, thank you!!!!

While watching a documentary about pornography use and it's harmful effects, I came across the news that Dr. Gary Wilson had died. I was distraught, it was so unexpected. Interestingly, I was watching this documentary exactly one year after his passing.

I recall watching his Ted talk, around 2016, and how it kickstarted my journey to quit porn for good. At the time I would go on to read his website extensively and read snippets of his book.

Though I've had my ups and downs in this journey of addiction, I can say that Dr. Wilson had an extremely positive impact in my life, and hearing of the news was heartbreaking.

It's probably impossible to put into words how big of a positive influence Gary had in millions of people's lives, particularly young men. He was certainly fighting the noble battle. Rest in Piece Gary Wilson, I wish I could've thanked you in person.

With much admiration,
An internet stranger
