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!
Hello, Fight the New Drug team. I cried when I saw your Facebook page because it’s been a long journey of trying to give up pornography and I was losing hope in myself. I’m starting to doubt if I can make it, if I can really quit porn. But your page is like a ray of light passing through my heart. It gives me hope. I just want you to know how you are a gift to me and all others who are going through pornography addiction like me right now.
This time, I really wanted to make things right. And I hope I can find my journey to healing with you because this fight is not a single fight, but a continual battle. Thank you.
Long story short, when my best friend told me that he’s been struggling to stay away from watching porn, I sent him the FTND documentary, Brain, Heart, World. Because he is a political adviser, educator, and lawyer, he felt disgusted and devastated to learn that porn fuels the demand for human sex trafficking. This was one big reason that made him stop watching porn.
Hearing how it’s an everyday battle when you’re on the road to recovery and freedom from porn is scary, but knowing that you’re not in this alone is helpful. And really just the dreams and aspirations mentioned in the documentary put it all into perspective, that you don’t want this addiction to flood into those areas in your life. Let the battle begin.
Before I found this account, I had been struggling with porn addiction to a point that it was all I could think about. I knew it was bad for me, but I did it anyways, which hurt way more, by the way. Then I found FTND in the fall of 2019, and ever since then, my fight has been so much better and less one-sided. Yes, I have had bumps in the road during my fight, but it has not discouraged me. Instead, it motivated me to do even better and to not make those mistakes again. Thank you so much for helping me with something I have been struggling with for the past 6 years of my life. You’re keeping me strong and motivated every day.
I have an odd sort of message to send y’all, but I think it’s cool and you may like it. I bought one of your shirts when they were on sale, and it was oversized so I used it for a nightshirt. I used it all throughout my third pregnancy, and happened to be wearing it the morning I went into labor. I ended up actually giving birth in the shirt that says “Love is Focus.” And to be honest? I can’t imagine a more appropriate shirt to have given birth in. Love is focus and brings forth new life. Love is real. Love is loud. And thank you for creating great content and merch for real people to oppose porn.
