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 wanted to reach out to y’all and let you know how grateful I am for your cause. I can’t thank you enough for introducing me to Fortify, responding to my message, and for all the help you give to others. I’ve been porn free since I first messaged you, and making this fight a part of my life, and my relationships with my family, my friends, and myself have done nothing but improve and give me overwhelming happiness! Thank you so much!
Hello, I am grateful for the day I found your page. I have been addicted to pornography for years, and it’s been a struggle. Most times, I felt helpless. I came across your page and everything was useful and informative, but I kept on indulging in my old habit. It was really a struggle but I didn’t give up! For the first time in more than 10 years, I have gone three months without porn. I’m approaching my fourth month. It might be such a short time but I never believed I could not watch for this long. I have found myself. I do not intend to go back there again. The thought of porn is not even appealing to me right now. Thank you so much for all you do.
* The teenagers laughed and learned a lot at the same time while watching the docuseries. What a great resource to have educational videos. It’s well done and honest. There is plenty we don’t know, but there is plenty of research to back up the anecdotal evidence too. Great nonprofit, Fight the New Drug, so thanks for producing Brain Heart World!
My boyfriend eventually broke up with me because after a year of me trying to fight with him, he “just didn’t see my problem with him watching porn.” I’d like to thank your organization, not only for making these articles and trying to educate people on porn’s harms, but also for responding to my personal story when I needed it the most. I’ll keep fighting for love—thank you.
I used to struggle a lot with my addiction to pornography. I started exercising after doing a little research on what porn does to your brain. It was devastating. I still fell almost every month, but I want to be completely free, so watching this helps 110%. Thank you so much for making this documentary! You wonderful humans are saving so many lives! Please let me know if I can help or join the cause in any way!
My husband and I just wanted to contribute to your mission because we feel really strongly about educating people about the harmful effects of pornography. When we began dating, I had no idea that my then-boyfriend was struggling with a porn addiction that began in his early teens. A few months in, he was honest with me about it, and we began a journey of healing. I am happy to say that because of your resources, we were able to learn so much. It was a big push in the right direction for us to completely cut porn consumption out of our lives. Although it is a struggle some days, we are dedicated to REAL LOVE, and our marriage is better off for it. It has been nearly a year since my husband watched porn, which is the longest stretch so far, and I am so proud. Thank you for all you do.
I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to send me a personal message with so much guidance and encouragement. I feel better about moving forward knowing I’m not alone and I have these resources. I’m glad you mention shame so many times. Even when you love someone, it’s honestly really hard to accidentally bring shame into the conversation because you feel so hurt. Thank you for reminding me it’s not personal because it truly feels like you’ve been cheated on and it’s really tough to separate yourself from the situation. I’m going to look into these resources and try to make progress. You are making a big difference in our world, thank you.
FTND was a huge help as I was healing from a breakup with a self-professed porn addict. Your resources helped me to understand what porn was doing to him and to our relationship. My self-esteem suffered greatly while I was with him and after we broke up. But it has since recovered leaps and bounds thanks in large part to FTND. Thanks for doing what you’re doing.
Hi, I’m here to tell you—whoever you are behind this profile—that your work is absolutely impeccable. Please stay THIS active. Don’t ever feel down, even if the majority of people will be against you. Just show the reality because the world needs it and you’re doing it perfectly well. Thank you. Really, thank you.
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!
