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!
It is a breath of fresh air to be able to listen and learn about the harmful, toxic effects of pornography from a research and facts-based organization. We need more great people in this world like the folks at FTND. While porn does not always show physical damage on the outside, it produces emotional rifts on the inside.
Today marks 6 months of freedom from an addiction I had for about 9 years . . . 6 whole months. I didn’t think that would be possible! But I chose to fight, to keep fighting, and still choose to fight (even though it’s tough), and I’ve almost felt the rewiring in my brain!
This freedom has allowed me to love my friends so much more than I ever could before because my heart hasn’t been split between a screen and my friends. I think I’m happier, more content, and better at loving than I was in my early 20’s! Happy happy days.
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!
“Fight for love.” You have no idea how this phrase is motivating me today. I’ve been struggling for more than 10 years with this addiction and it has been hard, falling again and again and again. But this movement came in a moment of darkness in my life when I thought there was no way out. My relationships were broken: girlfriend, family, and friends—all of them getting away because of my dark secret, and I couldn’t understand exactly why until I found FTND. Then it all made sense and put in me hope. I’m still struggling, but the frequency is less than the past years. I have some dark days, but phrases like “fight for love” give me a goal and remind me how important and special I am. Thanks, FTND!
I was exposed to pornography at age 13 and am 18 now. It’s been an on-and-off battle. When the chemicals are flowing, it’s easy to just give in to the momentary desires. A couple weeks ago, I had the urge to watch porn after resisting for a couple weeks. I struck a deal with myself: visit fightthenewdrug.org first and then see how I feel. I did so and ended up spending about 2 hours on your website. IT IS AMAZING. Since then, I‘ve felt stronger and better than ever. Now I have the brain, heart, and societal reasons to fight back. This movement is such a blessing. I love how it is not religiously rooted; it’s for everyone. It’s a message that I hope continues to spread. You guys are amazing and have made me a better person. Thank you so much! You have helped me to remember to consider before consuming!
I’m a month clean from porn today! I wanted to celebrate that, so I’m letting you know!
I left porn in 2020 and I’m using this year to focus on fighting this addiction. Thank you for spreading the knowledge of the effect porn has on us! I share the mission and information from FTND with a lot of people. Thank you for making me, a woman who struggles with porn, feel normal and not judged. Women struggle, too! That needs to be a continual message out there.
Hello! Thank you for creating this Instagram and helping so many people; you are very necessary.
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.
