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!
Thank you for everything you do to raise awareness about this. As a previous porn addict myself, it grieves me to see how much porn is taking over the minds of people in the world today. Even though it’s been a few years since I stopped watching porn, I can still feel the damage from it today. Every day. So, thank you for fighting against the new drug.
Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for all you’re doing to shed light on this awful, addictive drug. Personally, I have suffered with porn addiction since I was 7. I caught my brother watching an inappropriate movie and it sparked my innocent curiosity. It has gotten worse since then, but I’ve had the courage to talk to my husband about it and it feels good to know that he loves me and wants to help me overcome this addiction. It has affected my life for way too many years, and I’m sick of it! I’m taking a stand to stop and get in control of my life. I’ve been trying so hard to resist. The last time I slipped up, it made my anxiety so bad. I’ve noticed when I have watched porn, my anxiety is out of control. And when I don’t watch porn, I start feeling like myself, and my anxiety isn’t nearly as bad or frequent. Thank you again for all you’re doing!
I just want to express how much I appreciate Fight the New Drug. It has been empowering for my family! My husband has been free from porn/sexual addiction for over 2 years now, and I truly believe we could not have embraced it together without your platform. There was a time when I thought ending our marriage was the only option, but then I realized we could overcome it and so much more if we worked together, and now we’re hoping to start a family. I’m so grateful for your organization and everything it has taught us.
Hey, I wore my PKL tee to Huntington Beach. I took photos and when I posted them to Instagram I got messages from people who know me saying what I did was really brave and that they wanted a shirt too! It made me really happy to be able to spread the goal of this movement! I finally felt like a Fighter!
Hi! I came across one of your articles and it has changed my perspective. I want to thank whoever wrote this article I found about how not all men watch porn. I have struggled with my partner watching porn in every relationship I’ve had. Up until recently, I found someone who honors me, and says he will never do that, etc. To be honest, I thought it was impossible, and have been feeling so unsettled because of this ridiculous fear. But finding this website changed my outlook knowing it IS possible. Not ALL men watch it. So, thank you, whoever you are.
Four years ago, I messaged you asking for help with my addiction. I was a high school student, terrified by the horrible addiction that had begun to eat away at my life. I’m 3 months free from porn. It may not seem like much, but I feel like a new person. I’m so grateful to you and I’m so thankful that I’m finally free. Thank you for everything you guys do!
I’m happy to see FTND fighting the shame and stigma that gets in the way of people getting help. The first few years of my addiction counseling with a therapist were focused entirely on dismantling the deep-rooted shame built up by myself and others. Porn addiction is a cycle fueled by shame, and though I know people’s intentions are good, people need to know that when they tell people they are shameful for struggling, they are part of the problem. Thanks, FTND, for publicly stating this.
