Porn Addiction Newsletter: Three Places to Start

A recovery email can be useful. It can also become one more thing you read instead of asking for help.

If you want a porn addiction newsletter, choose it for a reason: personal stories, practical recovery tools or education about pornography.

Those are different jobs. Here are three places to start, with official links so you can check the source before sharing your email.

Which porn addiction newsletter fits?

The Outer Circle, from Sex Addicts Anonymous, is the closest fit if you want stories from people working on compulsive sexual behavior.

Published every two months, it includes members' articles, poetry and fellowship news. Current and past issues are free to download, so you can read before subscribing.

Its scope is broader than porn, and it reflects a 12-step fellowship. These are personal experiences, not proof that one approach works for everyone.

SMART Takes is SMART Recovery's monthly newsletter. It covers recovery research, podcasts, blog posts and announcements across addictive behaviors, rather than pornography alone.

Look for “Sign up to receive SMART Takes” on the official SMART Recovery site. This is an option if you want broader, skills-focused reading.

Fight the New Drug offers email updates about pornography, including stories, research-related content and ways to get involved.

Its focus is education and advocacy. Do not mistake joining that mailing list for receiving individualized recovery care.

Check what will arrive, and where

Start with one publication. Read a sample or its public articles first. Notice whether it gives you something useful without graphic details or guaranteed outcomes.

Before subscribing, check the privacy policy, requested information and any marketing consent. Do not assume a recovery mailing list has clinical confidentiality.

Think about lock-screen previews, shared inboxes and work email. You can also read a public archive without subscribing; the website and your browser may still record activity.

Skip messages that shame you, diagnose you from a headline or promise a cure if you buy immediately. Unsubscribe if the content makes things harder.

Give the next email one small job

After reading, choose one action for that day. Write down a trigger, move the phone out of the bedroom or contact a support group.

A newsletter cannot notice that you are struggling or assess what care you need. If daily life is suffering, look for affordable professional help too.

You do not need a bigger reading pile. Keep the publication that helps you do something useful after you close it.
