Since 2009, we've given visibility to research and personal accounts demonstrating how pornography can negatively impact individuals, relationships, and society. Through this grassroots movement, millions of people have found hope and freedom. We couldn't do this without Fighters like you!
I really and truly respect and admire your organization and it makes me so happy that there are people out there fighting and spreading awareness on such a global epidemic that has been so normalized over the years. I have always felt so strongly about being against porn and the negative effects it has on relationships, society, and even the viewers themselves. But I have always felt like an alien seeing it that way instead of being comfortable with it, like many other people out there. I was so thrilled to stumble upon your page.
What a fantastic docuseries. Brain, Heart, World brought a smile to my face when I reached the end. I’m glad I stuck around to watch it from beginning to end. All of what was stated, I went through personally, and it began to put a strong halt in my life. This stuff creates a lot of problems in my life, just like other addictions would. I’m so glad I’m taking steps to take it out and rewire my brain for the better.
I’ve been addicted to porn for years now. Always wanted to find a reason to quit but could never find one until now. I regret not having been exposed to these kinds of stories from the Consider Before Consuming podcast sooner. I hope you continue to heal, Jane Doe, and thank you for ruining porn for me.
Recently, I was walking down the street in my city, and I heard this couple read my FTND shirt out loud as I walked by. So I turned around and smiled at them and struck up a conversation. They were a married couple, probably in their thirties, and they were just genuinely curious about what an 18-year-old was doing with a shirt like mine on. So I happily shared my whole story about how I was addicted to porn from 5th grade until sophomore year of high school, and how I’ve been walking in freedom since then. I shared about its connection to trafficking and the dangers of shame. It really just ended up being a really cool conversation for all of us!
I wrote you in February in the thick of my hurt after my husband came clean about a porn addiction he’s had for seven of the ten years we’ve been together. I was completely shattered and devastated to my core. I’m writing to you today to say how much our lives have changed in the last couple of months. I completely gave up my role of trying to fix him, and I just loved him through it. I saw him for him and not for the porn problem, and now things couldn’t be better between us. He’s sought out accountability weekly, and he’s excited about the future. I don’t feel like I could know my husband better than I do right now. Our communication is raw and honest, but packed with love and fight. I’m falling for him all over again. So thank you for what you do. Thank you for loving us all through this–you are making a difference.
