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’ve been donating to this cause for a year and a half now. My boyfriend of only a month opened up to me and told me that he used to have a pornography addiction but has been clean for over a year. This cause means even more to me now, knowing that someone I love has been affected by it and has been overcoming it. Thank you for all that you do!
I really appreciate these resources, help, and encouragement. It really does mean a lot. And thank you all so much for always being open and honest. These types of honest conversations are really needed in the world today. So thank you all. I know that it’s a process to rewire the brain, but I know that I can do this. You all are so valued and I can’t say thank you enough.
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!
As a teen, I watched porn all the way until I became pregnant with my first kid. My mother raised us to be aware of addiction and how it sneaks up on you and takes over your life. I knew there was something wrong with the fact that I always resorted back to watching porn. The fact that I couldn’t stop permanently wasn’t “normal,” so I went searching for research on the subject. That’s when I stumbled upon this huge movement called Fight the New Drug.
Once I read the stats on how people are sex trafficked for porn, and how porn is impacting our culture and love, I was devastated that I had been supporting. It pushed me to learn more, and that’s when I learned how porn affects our brains and pulls us into the addiction. I made it my mission to never let my porn addiction affect me again and to reach out to as many people as possible to educate and help others with their addiction to porn. I can PROUDLY say I have not watched porn in two years!! I am proud to be porn-free!
I have an odd sort of message to send y’all, but I think it’s cool and you may like it. I bought one of your shirts when they were on sale, and it was oversized so I used it for a nightshirt. I used it all throughout my third pregnancy, and happened to be wearing it the morning I went into labor. I ended up actually giving birth in the shirt that says “Love is Focus.” And to be honest? I can’t imagine a more appropriate shirt to have given birth in. Love is focus and brings forth new life. Love is real. Love is loud. And thank you for creating great content and merch for real people to oppose porn.
I want to thank you for giving me the resources and courage to speak to my two sons (aged 13 and 15) about the harmful effects of pornography and exploitation. We had a great conversation that went way beyond my wildest expectations. Thank you again for the amazing work you do to highlight and support parents.
This morning, about 30 minutes ago, I called one of my community leaders and confessed to him my porn struggle, which helped me. I’ve never thought before about how watching porn does not make me a bad person. That really helped me to think about it, and it’s thanks to you guys. I’ve always thought that if I watch it, I am a bad person, but I realize that I am a good person but I’ve got a nagging, annoying struggle that’s always with me. There’s a difference.
Thank you so much for what you do. You guys really are pros. I wish I had known that before all of this, but thank you so much.
FTND has opened our eyes to a problem that is only getting worse! Pornography is no laughing matter. It is breaking up families, shaming men and women across the board. FTND has opened a topic that NEEDS to be discussed with the youth of today. We have been able to have open, healthy talks with our own kids about pornography. Thanks to FTND we can talk to our daughters, their husbands, and our son openly about how destructive pornography is. Thanks, FTND! You have opened our eyes, and strengthened our relationship with our kids!
