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’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.
I am really happy that there is a podcast available on this topic! I myself am a struggling consumer but also an activist of fighting the new drug, and I’ve seen and felt the negative effects it has had on my life. Every day, it is becoming more normal for young adults, teens, and, in some cases, children to view pornography. Podcasts like this help educate myself and others about this new drug. Very grateful for this, and very excited for the knowledge and wisdom and journey of this podcast!
I just wanted to say thank you for all the information that this organization is doing against the fight against pornography. I’ve been a porn addict since the age of 9, and am now truly fighting against my addiction 20 years later, through therapy and coaching. Thank you for bringing the awareness of how harmful pornography can be and the dangers of it all. I wish I had this when I was younger before I got engulfed through my addiction.
Hi there,
A fighter here reaching out to say thank you. I had a lapse over the weekend, and I went on your Twitter page and read the article you posted, “How You Can Confront Setbacks While Quitting Porn” by Jacob Hess and it was a Godsend. Just the message I needed to hear exactly when I needed to hear it.
So much of the article resonated with me and most importantly it gave me strength and hope and reminded me that I can do this. This line in particular really inspired me: “Begin again, for as many times as it takes.” This is not my first lapse as I’ve struggled with porn over so many years. What is different now is that I’m not alone thanks to the great work of Fight the New Drug.
Thanks to you, instead of sulking in shame and berating myself, I’ve dusted myself off and will keep on fighting. Words will never be enough to express my gratitude to you all and as such I’ve made a contribution in addition to my monthly donations because I’m so grateful.
I’m looking forward to your webinar next month. Thank you, thank you, I’m so grateful for Fight The New Drug!
Warmly,
A Fighter Who Will Keep Fighting
