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 just wanted to let you know that this page has helped me so much to fight my pornography addiction. I have been seriously addicted to porn since I was around 12, and this year I am 17. So I have been addicted to porn for 5 years, but I have been making vast improvements since following your Facebook page. I used to watch pornography daily, but I no longer do. I recently had a 1-week streak of no porn and am now wanting to achieve 3 weeks. Knowing this page exists and is behind to support me in ridding my addiction is a true blessing. Thank you so much.
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!
Thank YOU so much! It’s amazing what you do, and you provide excellent and helpful materials and resources as well. For me, as a high school teacher in Switzerland, you’re a helping hand for supporting students who deal with questions and problems around these topics. All across the pond! So thanks again—I’m really proud to be a Fighter!
I just want to say thank you to the people at FTND. I started watching porn at a young age and even got caught multiple times, but couldn’t stop watching it. I realized I was addicted when I was 14, but was never motivated enough to do something about it. Watching your videos on IGTV really helped me find motivation to give up porn. From sex trafficking to how it affects relationships, I realized how much damage I was doing to myself. But after knowing that, I just started feeling bad about myself. That’s when your Brain, Heart, World series came in handy. I was able to see all the people who had struggled with porn and could relate to their stories. I didn’t feel alone anymore. I’m truly inspired by FTND. Thank you so much for taking a stand on this platform. Groups like this are going to change the world.
This made me cry. My daughter became secretly addicted to porn when she was a young teenager. We ‘lost’ her for 3 years. She was no longer the easy-going, fun, hardworking young lady, but was a slave to an addiction, a shell of who she used to be. With a tremendous amount of hard work and 60 days without access to the internet, she came back. We can trust her again and she is a vibrant family member and happy citizen with positive goals.
I came across one of your articles shortly after watching pornography 16 days ago. Since reading how porn is fake and ignores consent, and isn’t a real representation of what sex should be between two consenting adults, I realised the porn I was watching was creating a negative impact on my life. Not only that, I was using it to fulfill my emotional needs instead of seeking a real relationship. Since quitting porn after seeing your article, I changed the way I will go about having sex in the future. I’ll always be respectful and comfortably open to communicate with my romantic partner about sex. I’ll focus on what she prefers and is comfortable with doing rather than ignoring that and using her for sex. Since finding your site, I am very appreciative and I have made some amazing changes in my life for good.
