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!
Fighter Club has given me hope. I am always needing a reminder that healing is possible and that people can change. No one is stuck watching porn forever. My boyfriend and I have grown so much stronger because of our teamwork, and he is so much healthier and happier now than ever. If it weren’t for FTND, we wouldn’t have gotten the resources that we needed to fight. It has been amazing being on the receiving end of hope, but it is even more fulfilling to be on the giving end.
Thank you for all that you do. FTND never ceases to amaze me with the bold people who share their stories, informative fact-based articles, and forward movement toward a very important cause. Your article about Hollywood celebrities created a few heroes of mine. For big-name icons to be speaking out about this is bigger than just about anything I’ve ever seen. I genuinely appreciate all that FTND does.
Thank you! At the beginning of this year, I caught my husband looking at porn. He was exposed to it at a young age and addicted the majority of his life. It was probably one of the most painful experiences I’ve gone through. Now he’s been openly sharing with others his story, has been free of porn, has an accountability group, and he is just is able to enjoy a life without porn’s hold on him. It’s been so difficult to go through this, but we’re fighting! Thank you for your encouragement in a world that normalizes porn.
I just wanted to thank you guys for all you do! Both my husband and I grew up in very religious families, and talking about porn was always a taboo conversation filled with a lot of shame. My husband has struggled with porn since junior high, and since we’ve been married, I’ve never known how to talk to him about it and see how he’s doing. But because of your page and all the amazing work you do, it’s slowly given me the courage to have an open dialogue with my husband about it. It’s made our relationship so much better because we can actually communicate! He feels safe being able to come to me when he feels those urges, and I am so much more understanding of the struggle that he’s constantly facing. So thank you, thank you, thank you! The awareness that you are sharing is invaluable.
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!
My husband told me he was an addict, and I became aware of the harms of porn from that. When I found your site, it helped me understand more and more about these harms and it motivated me to become a Fighter myself. I always wanted to be a teacher, but I now know that I want to be a health teacher to help inform young students and their parents about the harms of pornography.
