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!
First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone involved. I was introduced to porn in 5th grade by a friend. This was the very beginning of a vice that would consume my life. For the next 9 years of my life porn controlled me. It ruined friendships and relationships with family and destroyed friendships and relationships with most of the women in my life. Porn twisted my idea of love, sex, and intimacy as a whole. I ruined a relationship with a wonderful woman who gave me every chance. I love her more than I love life itself but I hurt her in an inconceivable way because of the normalization of porn in my life for so long. Doing it alone was a struggle but I am proud to say that I am over 3 months clean. I have seen the impact in my day to day life and I can feel the emotional impact this change has caused. Porn numbs your mind to real love and true intimacy. I wish I discovered your page sooner but I cannot say thank you enough. Although I couldn’t save my relationship. I was able to save myself and any future partners. Thank you to everyone involved you guys have impacted my life so much I can barely recognize myself.
Dear FTND. Today I’ve reached a whole year of freedom from porn, and it is a meaningful day for me since I struggled with impulsive porn consumption for a significant amount of time in my teen years. Throughout this year I’ve experienced an improvement in my well being and in my self esteem and just in my overall life quality. And honestly I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it without your articles and your podcast and your three part series Brain Heart World. Fight the New Drug was like a mentor for me since I came across your webpage at December 2023. So I just want to say a very big thanks to you for doing all the work you do and doing it so good. You are the best.
Hello, I am from the czech republic and I just wanted to let you know how much your content inspires me. I was always feeling differently about porn, but everyone used to tell me that watching it is ok. I never did but I was always feeling weird when somebody told me that they do. I started to read more about it, educate myself about the harms and other things and your page has helped me a lot with everything. I started to spread awareness too, obviously not as much as you do, but a lot of people have thanked me that me talking about this issue has opened their eyes and they stopped supporting porn industry and so on. So I just wanted to thank you and (you probably already know but it is important to get reminded of that) say that what you do is making a huge difference and I am grateful for all the hard work you put into it. Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing!❤️
I just wanted to say thank you for your page. It’s helped me heal and have compassion for an ex of mine whereas there used to be anger. I now have the balance of knowing I should keep my distance because what he is facing is bigger than I’m capable of helping him fight and it’s not my battle but also have compassion for him and his struggles instead of anger and resentment. It’s also helping me move toward healing and know that things I went through with him because I didn’t know how to handle it and struggled to stick to my boundaries, don’t define me and my worth as a woman. So thank you ❤️
Thank you for the work that you guys do. I am now breaking generational trauma through my experience and as a mother, and I’ve never been more proud of myself. You are truly one of the only movements right now with the same ideals that I’ve been screaming for people to speak about for the last 20 years.
