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 wanted to take a moment and thank your organization. I’ve been addicted on and off since I was a teenager. I stopped for nearly two years when I first met my wife, and about two years ago, I fell back on it in a big way. I confessed my struggle to my wife, and although she was obviously upset, her support was still there. I’d go a week or two, then give in. Now, I’m on my current longest streak in a couple of years of two months, and it feels amazing. My marriage is stronger and our sex life is great again. It’s organizations like yours that keep love alive and talk about the uncomfortable/unpopular side of the porn industry that need to be discussed! Keep up the good work, and thank you again.
I found Fight the New Drug not long after my relationship ended, and while the path has had some speed bumps, I feel so much more free. I feel so much more clear. I feel more whole as a person. I have obtained a clarity when it comes to proper, healthy goals in seeking a lasting, loving relationship. Whenever I rock a FTND t-shirt, it’s always a conversation starter—and frankly, it’s a conversation that should be happening more often in today’s society, and it’s a conversation I’m proud to launch in my community.
For a year or so, I got sucked into the world of porn. But after I discovered FTND, I learned how much I was hurting myself and how much pain my habit caused the other people involved. I quit cold turkey right then, and as difficult as it was, I was able to move on from it and learn from my mistakes. I’ve now been completely clean for 6 months, and I was able to wholeheartedly experience true love. With what I had discovered, I was able to reach out to my best friend and help them quit their addiction as well. They’ve now been 2 months clean. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything. I will be forever grateful and a proud Fighter.
Not long ago, I broke up with a boy that had been suffering from porn addiction for over 13 years. We broke up because he kept relapsing and the relationship was getting toxic. I’m devastated. I wish porn wasn’t a thing. I wish people would stop supporting this dark business. Your page has brought me hope. Keep up the challenging work. You guys don’t know the impact you have on people.
Being a wife and choosing to fight alongside my husband, who’s celebrating 895 days in recovery, has been the hardest and most rewarding experience of our lives! Through this journey, we’ve celebrated and fought together as accountability partners, best friends, lovers, husband and wife, and now future parents!
We’ve learned so much. First, love can’t be clicked! It’s about real people, real love, and life! It’s about the journey and that we’re stronger fighting together! Also, it’s never going to be easy every day, it might not always be a victory–we are not perfect, and life isn’t perfect. It’s messy but it’s beautiful and it’s so worth it to fight! Consistency, accountability, and knowledge are some huge factors that helped his success along the way. Honestly, we wouldn’t be celebrating here today if it wasn’t for Fight the New Drug. Thank you, thank you, thank you for existing!
FTND was a huge help as I was healing from a breakup with a self-professed porn addict. Your resources helped me to understand what porn was doing to him and to our relationship. My self-esteem suffered greatly while I was with him and after we broke up. But it has since recovered leaps and bounds thanks in large part to FTND. Thanks for doing what you’re doing.
Love your account!!!! My fiancé has a history with porn addiction, but he’s over 2 years clean!! It’s still a fight, but it’s possible!!!!
Hey guys, I’m 80 days porn-free today. I’m feeling proud of myself and hoping to make it to 100 days. Reading FTND tweets every day really is a great help. So, thank you for the inspiration!
