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!
Now at 23, I am thankful to say I have quit porn and have been clean for over 4 months. I have no desire to go back to where to the way I was, and I now have a radically different view of sex—a much more holistic and positive view of sex. FTND played a crucial role in getting to where I am today, and for that, I wanted to say thank you.
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!
Oh my goodness, thank you! I’m a recovering victim of sexual abuse by my ex-step father and by reading your posts, I finally realized why he used porn to groom me and how horrible porn is.
Incredible articles! I’ve been following your organization for a little while and I feel so humbled to be educated on the harms of this “drug.” As someone with impressionable siblings, I want to keep them safe from harmful content online, and you’re broadening my perspective on this matter. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I think I literally just beat pornography. I opened up a porn website and actually stopped. I considered before consuming. I thought about what this would do to me, my future spouse, my future kids, and my life. I thought about all the people I heard about on your podcasts and how pornography affected them. None of it was worth the 10 minutes of “satisfaction” I would get. Thank you for all of what you do and for helping many like me overcome this drug.
Dear FTND, today is my two year “soberversary”. Two years ago, I almost destroyed my marriage, my life was turned upside down, and my deepest shame and secrets came to light. Two years ago, I broke my wife’s heart, and began to face the things inside of me. Two years later, we are still rebuilding, still trying to mend the tears. But we are still here. Thank you FTND for promoting love, and connection over objectification and consumption.
