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!
Dear FTND. Today I’ve reached a whole year of freedom from porn, and it is a meaningful day for me since I struggled with impulsive porn consumption for a significant amount of time in my teen years. Throughout this year I’ve experienced an improvement in my well being and in my self esteem and just in my overall life quality. And honestly I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it without your articles and your podcast and your three part series Brain Heart World. Fight the New Drug was like a mentor for me since I came across your webpage at December 2023. So I just want to say a very big thanks to you for doing all the work you do and doing it so good. You are the best.
I recently decided to wear my PKL shirt to O’Hare airport. I immediately noticed lots of staring, which is expected when you’re wearing a shirt that has the word “porn.” A few people stopped me to tell me they loved my shirt, many smiled and pointed. It was refreshing to see people reacting and hopefully having meaningful conversations after seeing it. The best part was while entering the aircraft, a flight attendant greeted us and after reading my shirt, her face lit up! She loved the message and had her coworker come see it as well. During the flight, the flight attendant offered me a complimentary beer “for wearing such an awesome shirt.”
By supporting FTND, you aren’t just giving your money to another nonprofit. You are provided with a tool to spread an empowering, world-changing message. By wearing a shirt with the 3 simple words “Porn Kills Love,” I was able to raise awareness, start conversations for many, and pass the message along.
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!
