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!
Your cause is working! I’ve been following FTND since 2018 when my then-boyfriend, now husband, broke my heart for the second time with his addiction. I didn’t know until the second time that it was an addiction, and I encouraged him to get therapy. But I was just scrolling today and I saw this one post, and I read some comments, and people are actually aware of porn’s harms! I’m just so happy that awareness is spreading.
I just want to thank you for continuing to educate and bring awareness to the effects of pornography. In a message I sent you several years ago, I thought my husband had been without porn for many years only to find out later that he had not stopped his porn use, just kept it quiet. I feel that I would have left this marriage or be in the process had it not been for the amazing articles you continue to post about how porn affects the mind, etc. Your efforts to fight this drug are paying off and you have saved my marriage and I’m sure many others because of it. My husband may still be in the throes of his addiction but he is fighting. I will be here by his side as he fights, wielding my own sword. True love is worth fighting for. Thanks again.
Recently, I was walking down the street in my city, and I heard this couple read my FTND shirt out loud as I walked by. So I turned around and smiled at them and struck up a conversation. They were a married couple, probably in their thirties, and they were just genuinely curious about what an 18-year-old was doing with a shirt like mine on. So I happily shared my whole story about how I was addicted to porn from 5th grade until sophomore year of high school, and how I’ve been walking in freedom since then. I shared about its connection to trafficking and the dangers of shame. It really just ended up being a really cool conversation for all of us!
