Hello! I just wanted to say how much Fight the New Drug has helped me, I love all of the posts and podcasts. Although I personally don’t consume pornography, my ex partner had a secret porn addiction and I experienced immense pain being the betrayed partner. I learned how damaging porn can be for relationships and love. To try to process everything and try to heal from betrayal trauma initially, one thing that helped me was expressing my pain through art. I made this drawing and wanted to share with Fightthenewdrug to express how porn addiction harms relationships. Thank you so much!
The work you are doing to create awareness and tackle this massive issue is incredible! Thank you to everyone involved for your efforts. Over the years I have felt alone and isolated in my thoughts and feelings on how harmful porn is and it allows me to breathe a sigh of relief to finally live in a time where others are also speaking out about it and changing how it is perceived.
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.
