I am not typically a person to listen to podcasts, but this is such an important topic. This is such educational and preventative information to help those who haven’t dealt with this (such as myself) in better helping us to understand the impact that this issue has on our generation. This information also helps those of us who haven’t dealt with these issues to be better equipped to help those who do struggle with pornography, etc. Everyone should listen in and they should educate themselves, or find help!

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.

Fighter Club has given me hope. I am always needing a reminder that healing is possible and that people can change. No one is stuck watching porn forever. My boyfriend and I have grown so much stronger because of our teamwork, and he is so much healthier and happier now than ever. If it weren’t for FTND, we wouldn’t have gotten the resources that we needed to fight. It has been amazing being on the receiving end of hope, but it is even more fulfilling to be on the giving end.

I just wanted to tell you thanks! You guys were my inspiration for a speech I had to give in my public speaking class! I was super passionate about the harmful effects of porn, and it was cool to see the faces change from when I first introduced my topic to my very last sentence. Keep doing great work!

This is information that the world needs to hear! Love how packed yet simple each episode is! They are encouraging me to start conversations and raise awareness. There’s so much great info on FTND’s site, but sometimes it’s nice to listen. Looking forward to learning more and being a part of the movement in creating new social norms around healthy sexuality!

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.

Dear FTND, I have been FREED from an addiction to pornography, and I want to share my story with you. For the past few years, I have been actively sharing my story about my past struggle with porn and my current life of freedom from the awful addiction. FTND has played a huge part in this, and that’s why I want to share my story with others, because I am a woman who has struggled. Thank you!

Thank you so so much for the kind words and resources. I needed them more than you know. This is one of the most difficult times of my life, and it’s refreshing to know that there are people out there fighting against this terrible issue (porn). And although I wouldn’t wish this kind of pain on anyone, it’s nice to know there are other couples going through the same thing. Watching and hearing their stories on your page has given me the hope that I needed to keep trying and working to overcome this. Better days are ahead. Thank you again for everything. I believe that I was led to your page for a reason and that I will find healing through your platform. After literally stalking your page for hours last night, for the first time in months, I feel better and stronger. It’s like a heavy weight was lifted off my shoulders. I’m so grateful!

My boyfriend’s porn addiction came to light a week ago and I’ve been looking to inform myself as much as possible. We just watched part one of the documentary, “The Brain,” together. He’s has seen aspects of the documentary already in his life, but hearing the personal accounts was really valuable for both of us. I asked him if it made him feel less alone. He had replied that the individuals in the video were all around his age and that really comforted him. Thank you for all that you’re doing—it’s changing lives.
