A COLLECTION OF GRATITUDE & IMPACT CURATED BY FIGHT THE NEW DRUG

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!

Man, I absolutely love what Fight the New Drug is doing. I was held captive to a porn addiction for 10 years, and I’ve been free for 5 months. Fight the New Drug was a key component to my freedom.

Absolutely amazing documentary series. I’ve been addicted to porn for as long as I can remember, and I’m 24 now—I started viewing when I was eight. This was a huge eye-opener, and it also made me feel not so alone in my fight. Thank you for creating this.

You guys really help. You allow me to quote neatly compiled facts rather than mere subjective preference to show how porn damages love and the consumer. People can choose to ignore the evidence, but they can't pretend it's just opinion. Thank you for what you do.

I have been binging your podcast recently. In fact, I listened to almost all of the episodes just this week, and in one of them, I heard it mentioned that FTND aims to be a global movement. This immediately hit me because I feel like I can be a voice in my community if I speak up.

Wow, this docuseries was truly awakening. I’ve tried and tried many times to quit porn, and after relapsing a couple of days ago, this was the motivation that I needed. I accept that what triggers me won’t go away, things won’t change straight away and there’s still the possibility of relapsing again; I have to be aware of that. But when one sees clearly that things do get better and the clouds do part eventually, it’s very motivating to know that there’s more to life than this. Beyond pornography is a better, more rewarding, and more fulfilling life. Thank you for making this documentary. I will work even harder to kick this out of my life!

For a year or so, I got sucked into the world of porn. But after I discovered FTND, I learned how much I was hurting myself and how much pain my habit caused the other people involved. I quit cold turkey right then, and as difficult as it was, I was able to move on from it and learn from my mistakes. I’ve now been completely clean for 6 months, and I was able to wholeheartedly experience true love. With what I had discovered, I was able to reach out to my best friend and help them quit their addiction as well. They’ve now been 2 months clean. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything. I will be forever grateful and a proud Fighter.

I finally told my parents about my porn addiction last night. It had made me depressed and antisocial because I felt like nobody could love me. I thought my parents were going to be disappointed or angry with me, but they were actually really proud of me for coming to them. They didn’t make me feel bad about myself, and were completely loving and understanding. Now we do a weekly phone audit, so they look through my phone and I look through their phones with complete trust. I’m so happy now that I’ve told someone. It was completely consuming me, but it was like a virus that wouldn’t stop. In the end, I couldn’t forgive myself until I told someone and accepted that I had a problem. Thank you for being a source that people like me can come to and feel loved.

I love what FTND is doing! This podcast is so eye-opening and definitely something I’ll be sharing with friends. This is such an important topic and needs to be talked about more!

Really good documentary. I was struggling with pornography until I broke up with my girlfriend. Now that I have lost someone who was special to me, I understand the consequences of consuming it. It’s sad that my relationship didn’t work out, but this gives me another reason to fight for real love.

I just received my “People ≠ Products” shirt and I’m thrilled with it! Thank you also for sending stickers, I’m going to put them on my laptop and water bottle to further rep the movement! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you do. A lot of people close to me have been affected by porn, so it’s something I’m very passionate about. I appreciate that you’re a non-religious organization so I have a secular, scientific resource to share with people who are skeptical about objecting to porn on moral or religious grounds. I discovered you guys through one of my friends who constantly wears his PKL shirts. He’s had a lot of struggles with porn, but he’s so open about it and has helped so many people! You guys as a community encourage me so much.

Thank you for speaking out on the facts around this. Most people still don’t understand how porn impacts partners because it’s still so acceptable in our society.

Well-done videos that I can watch with my children and open up the conversation.

I watched this with my 13-year-old and it opened a door for some great conversations. He was very thankful that I took the time to help empower him with the truth! Thank you for creating such a fabulous resource!
