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’M A FIGHTER!
I recently joined the Fighter Club, the exclusive insiders club for monthly supporters of the organization Fight the New Drug. They sent me this membership coin, some stickers, and an “Impact” book.
This organization means a lot to me and my own personal story with addiction and recovery. I love their mission, their content, and their merch. I love that they are research-based and education-focused.
I thought you might like to know: I got home today after work, and temptation struck. Interestingly, because I had these videos in my Facebook feed, they were fresh in my mind as I wrestled with the temptation.
And they helped me say no . I thought that might encourage you with your work ❤️
I’ve been following FTND for many years now, and I agree that just the posts alone don’t stop the addiction in addicts. But they can help be the beginning for change for an addict, and they especially can potentially prevent someone from becoming an addict in the first place. As someone (female) who was unknowingly addicted to it at age 11, I didnt learn until I was 27 that I was addicted. That’s when I stumbled upon FTND and was educated on my physical and mental symptoms and that porn is linked to human trafficking . I’ve been clean ever since, almost 12 years later. And some symptoms still linger, but I know they will fade with time. And I do my part by sharing information like this to others, to bring awareness and compassion, and educate my own children in age appropriate ways to protect their minds, hearts, and those of others by avoiding such images and videos.
Finally (actually) dedicating myself to stop this vicious and all-consuming cycle of porn use. I deserve better and so do the women I have watched countless times over the past 18 years of my life. Happy to be a part of Fighter Club to help spread awareness and save other men and women trapped in the toxicity of porn use. Stay strong.
