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 want to say thank you for being the organization I needed while enduring the past two years. I’ve gained a lot of wisdom from you all and thank you for educating people about the harm of porn. I left my partner and can’t really be reminded of anything about him right now, but please continue spreading your message. It is so so important. Porn hurt me. It hurt my wonderful partner. And it hurt our relationship until it couldn’t be fixed. I’m grieving so much but all I can hope is that he tries to do better for himself. Again….thank you for all you do in educating people.
Last week, someone on Fight the New Drug’s Facebook page encouraged me to tell my girlfriend about my addiction to porn. I’ve been scared to tell her, but after reading about Lamar Odom’s story, I’ve decided I’m going to tell her.
I just want to express my gratitude for this account. I am recovering from betrayal trauma in past relationships. My relationship now is anti-porn and we do proactive things about it, e.g. discussing your account. My healing journey has been easier since following you. Thank you for your work.
Wow, it’s like a revelation to me. I kinda binge listened to all of the podcast episodes this week while at work and home, and my mind is blown. Porn is the root of where I lost myself, I didn’t know but now I understand! Porn is the root of so much of what I stand against and things I’ve been subject to and yet I have fed into and engaged in pornography. I knew the grip it had on me but I didn’t connect the dots.
Our son was negatively impacted by violent pornography. He was caught watching it when he was 12 years old, and we didn’t have the right tools to properly talk to him at that time. Two years later, he sexually assaulted a girl. He simply acted out what he had been consuming over all those years. He didn’t stop watching it when we caught him, he just watched it more secretly. Now that we know more about the effects of pornography and what it’s doing to our youth, marriages, and minds, we try to educate as many people as possible.
I’m grateful to just now be finding out about your movement and I fully support it. I have always felt this way about pornography and it’s actually a very lonely feeling to have this mindset when everyone else is so desensitized to it. At least I know there are others out there that see how harmful it really is.
My husband used to have a pretty hefty porn addiction. I’ve been a fan of the FTND movement since high school, so when he told me that was something he used to struggle with, I told him about this page. Since then, he said he will never go back. he loves learning more about the harmful effects of porn and he loves the FTND movement now, too! Thank you guys so much!
I was first introduced to porn at 14. I’m now 19. I’ve been addicted for five years. It’s been an absolute net negative on my life, and I think it’s contributed to some of my anxiety, self-deprecating thoughts, and brash behavior. I’ve wanted to quit for what feels like forever now, but I keep relapsing. It all came to a head today when I couldn’t take it anymore and found your website. I haven’t even finished looking through all the resources yet, but I’m eager to do so, because after watching Jane Doe’s video interview about how she was sex trafficked, I want nothing to do with porn ever again. In fact, I want it as far away from me as possible. I can’t even begin to imagine how awful that poor woman felt. If I had the opportunity to say something to her, I would likely just say how sorry I am. Whoever is reading this, thank you.
