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 just want to say thank you to the people at FTND. I started watching porn at a young age and even got caught multiple times, but couldn’t stop watching it. I realized I was addicted when I was 14, but was never motivated enough to do something about it. Watching your videos on IGTV really helped me find motivation to give up porn. From sex trafficking to how it affects relationships, I realized how much damage I was doing to myself. But after knowing that, I just started feeling bad about myself. That’s when your Brain, Heart, World series came in handy. I was able to see all the people who had struggled with porn and could relate to their stories. I didn’t feel alone anymore. I’m truly inspired by FTND. Thank you so much for taking a stand on this platform. Groups like this are going to change the world.
I just wanted to say, please keep doing what you are doing. Your organization seems to stand alone in its mission and quality of work, and it is powerful on so many levels. I’m encouraged every time I see one of your posts. Thank you!!! So much.
I always had the strong feeling that I was alone with this, especially because I’m a woman. But since I started this journey of recovery, I noticed that this is not exclusively a male problem. Girls struggle, too. With a huge amount of courage, I told my best friend about my struggle. She said: “You know what? I don’t care what you’re struggling with. You’re still the same, wonderful person I love so much.” This changed my life. I started to tell more people that I trusted and always got a similar response: we’re in this together.
So to all the Fighters out there, I want to encourage you! Tell someone you trust about your struggle. It will not get better by hiding and shaming yourself. You are powerful and worthy of love! I’m currently still recovering. My journey is not over yet. But I hang in there. I know one day I will be able to say that I beat this. And I can’t wait for this day!
I love that you guys are helping parents with these conversations. I think it’s so important that parents are prepared for this conversation. When parents aren’t prepared they can tend to say something they will regret or shame their child while not meaning to. Thank you for all that you guys continue to do to help people.
I really and truly respect and admire your organization and it makes me so happy that there are people out there fighting and spreading awareness on such a global epidemic that has been so normalized over the years. I have always felt so strongly about being against porn and the negative effects it has on relationships, society, and even the viewers themselves. But I have always felt like an alien seeing it that way instead of being comfortable with it, like many other people out there. I was so thrilled to stumble upon your page.
