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 was in a sexually abusive relationship for a year and a half and I know a lot of my ex’s sexually violent tendencies had to do with his porn habit. This page gives me hope and makes me feel like I’m not crazy for feeling like porn is a problem. Thank you for providing a safe space for everyone!
Ever since I saw Brain, Heart, World 100 days ago, I haven’t watched porn since. For my 100th day without porn celebration, I decided to share my personal story with porn and objectification on my blog for all of my friends and family to know what is going on with this fight and journey I am on.
It was very difficult to share this, but Fight the New Drug has helped me to see that it is okay to talk about this and that is the only way that this may change. Thank you all!
What you’re doing is so essential to help people engage in healthy, lasting relationships. My marriage was deeply affected by porn. Everything you say is true, I witnessed it firsthand. Once the ‘secret’ was out we were finally able to address all the problems porn caused and it has been a years-long process. As a wife, it’s utterly gut-wrenching to find out your partner was betraying your trust and destroying intimacy in your marriage by using porn. My husband became withdrawn, uninterested in me, irritable, and his behavior completely changed. He was doing a multitude of other things that were destructive to himself and our relationship. Deception became normal, and more extreme behaviors became OK. Our marriage was robbed of true love and intimacy by porn. My husband has so much more awareness now. He’s at a local Fight the New Drug presentation with our sons right now! Thanks for everything you’re doing!
Hello, I have been following your movement for a couple of years now and I just wanted to say thank you for everything you guys do! I have been free from porn for more than 5 years now, but it was still hard for me to stop! It does get easier with time. I have an awesome friend group and mom who I talk to when I am struggling and they help me get through it! It does help to talk about it! I have been so scared to rep the movement because of shame even though I haven’t watched porn for years now. I finally feel that I can rep the movement with pride and I just wanted to say THANK YOU again!
Hey FTND team, thank you for providing so much information and encouraging people to speak up about the harmful effects of pornography no matter who they are. Thanks to you, I gave a speech about just that topic in front of my English class on Tuesday and sparked up a great conversation with a classmate. I also was graded the highest mark we could get. Thank you so much for all the things you do.
I just wanted to say, please keep doing what you are doing. Your organization seems to stand alone in its mission and quality of work, and it is powerful on so many levels. I’m encouraged every time I see one of your posts. Thank you!!! So much.
