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!
Hey y’all! I just wanted to shoot a message to say thank you for everything you do to educate the world about the harmful effects of pornography. I became addicted to pornography when I was 11 and still struggle to this day. I don’t actively consume anymore due to everything I now know, but I still have a hard time with the things I’ve seen. I also appreciate the lack of religious bias when discussing facts with other people. When I start to talk about the harms and lasting effects of porn, people usually just brush what I have to say right off because they assume porn isn’t really harmful, but with the articles you put out, I’m able to provide facts to others. Thank you again for everything this organization does and will continue to do.
FTND, I just wanted to say thank you. I’m 18 now and I was first exposed to hardcore pornography as a 10-year-old. Right now, I’m 3-4 weeks clean. I’ve never abstained from porn for this long since around 2015 or so. I just don’t know how to show my gratitude to everyone who’s helped me get here, especially you guys. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hey FTND team, thank you for providing so much information and encouraging people to speak up about the harmful effects of pornography no matter who they are. Thanks to you, I gave a speech about just that topic in front of my English class on Tuesday and sparked up a great conversation with a classmate. I also was graded the highest mark we could get. Thank you so much for all the things you do.
Today’s Wall Street Journal article about TikTok and kids finally motivated me to donate to you, which I’ve been meaning to for a long time. I also joined the Fighter Club. I am making this donation to help support the movement because no woman should ever face the unimaginable pain and suffering that is caused by pornography. Every woman should be treated with care and respect.
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!
Before I found this account, I had been struggling with porn addiction to a point that it was all I could think about. I knew it was bad for me, but I did it anyways, which hurt way more, by the way. Then I found FTND in the fall of 2019, and ever since then, my fight has been so much better and less one-sided. Yes, I have had bumps in the road during my fight, but it has not discouraged me. Instead, it motivated me to do even better and to not make those mistakes again. Thank you so much for helping me with something I have been struggling with for the past 6 years of my life. You’re keeping me strong and motivated every day.
I work at a huge tech company, and we usually deal with websites that can host pornography. People made jokes about it at first, including my coworkers. I introduced them to FTND and its informational side regarding what porn does to the brain. Anyways, a few days ago, my buddy at work let me know it’s made an impact on him and that he’s going to stop consuming porn. I feel really good about it. It’s hard being a woman in technology (especially because we are outnumbered 4:1) but it’s even harder when objectification of women is something that’s just happening in front of our faces without even knowing the true effects of it on our brain long term. I feel like I bring important things to the table being a lady in tech, and FTND has been a significant thing in my life. I’m spreading it like wildfire. I’m tired of it being the norm.
Ever since I saw Brain, Heart, World 100 days ago, I haven’t watched porn since. For my 100th day without porn celebration, I decided to share my personal story with porn and objectification on my blog for all of my friends and family to know what is going on with this fight and journey I am on.
It was very difficult to share this, but Fight the New Drug has helped me to see that it is okay to talk about this and that is the only way that this may change. Thank you all!
FTND has provided me with lots of information regarding the negative reality of the porn industry and the effects viewing pornography has on the consumer. Your website features really informative articles packed with science and facts on the truth about porn and how it affects things like the brain of the consumer, relationships, intimacy, and even society at large. I will support this cause for as long as I live and breathe on this planet. The fact that you aim to impact the most vulnerable of the population, youth, makes me feel like this work needs to continue so long as pornography remains a public health crisis.
Thank you. Thank you for being a voice for this issue. Thank you for calling it what it is: a real issue. Thank you for not making light of it, like it’s a joke, like they do in the movies or on TV. Thank you for telling the truth, for being vulnerable, and for having the courage to say this is a problem. Just THANK YOU!
Thank you so much for the educational posts and awareness you’re spreading! I listen to all of y’all’s content and it has helped me understand far more than ever! Y’all are doing an amazing thing, and on behalf of me and my husband, thank you for opening our eyes!
