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 just wanted to share that porn fueled the sexual abuse and assault I experienced as a teen. Thanks to resources like yours, I’ve been able to find healing, peace, and a life after trauma. I just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Someday, no one will suffer like I did and that gives me so much joy.
I used to struggle a lot with my addiction to pornography. I started exercising after doing a little research on what porn does to your brain. It was devastating. I still fell almost every month, but I want to be completely free, so watching this helps 110%. Thank you so much for making this documentary! You wonderful humans are saving so many lives! Please let me know if I can help or join the cause in any way!
As a teen, I watched porn all the way until I became pregnant with my first kid. My mother raised us to be aware of addiction and how it sneaks up on you and takes over your life. I knew there was something wrong with the fact that I always resorted back to watching porn. The fact that I couldn’t stop permanently wasn’t “normal,” so I went searching for research on the subject. That’s when I stumbled upon this huge movement called Fight the New Drug.
Once I read the stats on how people are sex trafficked for porn, and how porn is impacting our culture and love, I was devastated that I had been supporting. It pushed me to learn more, and that’s when I learned how porn affects our brains and pulls us into the addiction. I made it my mission to never let my porn addiction affect me again and to reach out to as many people as possible to educate and help others with their addiction to porn. I can PROUDLY say I have not watched porn in two years!! I am proud to be porn-free!
This is such an important topic. People are either ignorant of the problems or it’s the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. But once we release the shame and start conversations, then we can win this war. Porn has already destroyed so many relationships, including two of my marriages. Since I’ve been listening to these podcasts and supporting Fight the New Drug, I have the confidence to speak out. Young men have confessed to me that they have issues with real women after growing up on internet porn. People don’t realize what they can be doing to themselves and others. It’s time we speak up like we do with other drugs. Thank you Fight the New Drug for all of this great information and your platform.
