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!
What you’re doing is so essential to help people engage in healthy, lasting relationships. My marriage was deeply affected by porn. Everything you say is true, I witnessed it firsthand. Once the ‘secret’ was out we were finally able to address all the problems porn caused and it has been a years-long process. As a wife, it’s utterly gut-wrenching to find out your partner was betraying your trust and destroying intimacy in your marriage by using porn. My husband became withdrawn, uninterested in me, irritable, and his behavior completely changed. He was doing a multitude of other things that were destructive to himself and our relationship. Deception became normal, and more extreme behaviors became OK. Our marriage was robbed of true love and intimacy by porn. My husband has so much more awareness now. He’s at a local Fight the New Drug presentation with our sons right now! Thanks for everything you’re doing!
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’m grateful to just now be finding out about your movement and I fully support it. I have always felt this way about pornography and it’s actually a very lonely feeling to have this mindset when everyone else is so desensitized to it. At least I know there are others out there that see how harmful it really is.
Fighter Club has given me hope. I am always needing a reminder that healing is possible and that people can change. No one is stuck watching porn forever. My boyfriend and I have grown so much stronger because of our teamwork, and he is so much healthier and happier now than ever. If it weren’t for FTND, we wouldn’t have gotten the resources that we needed to fight. It has been amazing being on the receiving end of hope, but it is even more fulfilling to be on the giving end.
