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!
As someone who’s struggled with porn addiction and found myself looking for more and more intense porn over time, this is a great reminder of its harmful effects. There is a lot to learn here, and it can be hard to listen to sometimes, but it’s important to get some of the heartbreaking perspective. Thank you for doing this podcast.
Porn is not a joke. It’s not just something that “everyone does.” This stuff is seriously like a drug and does ruin your life. I’m so happy Fight the New Drug brings attention to the facts of it all, and how many people it has now helped.
I have learned so much while listening to this podcast. My partner is an addict and it has helped me to learn what all goes into pornography, human trafficking, and exploitation. I have found something that I care about and support fully. Raising awareness is super important and Fight the New Drug and Consider Before Consuming are doing an amazing job with that!
So glad I found you a couple of years ago. You have helped me navigate the most challenging times in my life. Thank you for all you do.
Your content is so good–I actually can’t stop reading your articles and sharing them!
I’ve been donating to this cause for a year and a half now. My boyfriend of only a month opened up to me and told me that he used to have a pornography addiction but has been clean for over a year. This cause means even more to me now, knowing that someone I love has been affected by it and has been overcoming it. Thank you for all that you do!
Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for all you’re doing to shed light on this awful, addictive drug. Personally, I have suffered with porn addiction since I was 7. I caught my brother watching an inappropriate movie and it sparked my innocent curiosity. It has gotten worse since then, but I’ve had the courage to talk to my husband about it and it feels good to know that he loves me and wants to help me overcome this addiction. It has affected my life for way too many years, and I’m sick of it! I’m taking a stand to stop and get in control of my life. I’ve been trying so hard to resist. The last time I slipped up, it made my anxiety so bad. I’ve noticed when I have watched porn, my anxiety is out of control. And when I don’t watch porn, I start feeling like myself, and my anxiety isn’t nearly as bad or frequent. Thank you again for all you’re doing!
WOW! This is an incredibly powerful film series. I had a similar experience to one of the guys in the film as a kid and it messed up a lot of my life. It took years of hard work to stop looking at porn and I sometimes still want to. This film series is so motivational to stay free and focus on healthy relationships and experiencing life.
I am a happy young man now. Since taking the #NoPornovember challenge last year, I have been able to stay two months without a click on pornography. The start wasn't easy but I am a better person now. Without porn, I have become more confident than I used to be. I don't have a love life, but I am now a free person. It was always stressful to be a prisoner of pornography but Fight the New Drug has been very helpful. I am not ashamed anymore to talk about porn addiction and its effects and emptiness.
I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for sharing supportive resources. When my boyfriend (now husband) first shared with me about his struggles & setbacks, I felt completely alone. I found ZERO articles or resources for people who felt hurt or betrayed. That search was actually how I discovered your organization. I felt validated in my opposition to porn in a culture that is immersed in it. My husband has not had a setback in 2 years! Thank you so much for providing great resources for not only those who struggle but also for those of us who want to learn to be supportive partners but need time to heal.
Porn really messed me up. I used to be focused on my goals as a student, and I connected well with my peers, but all of that went wrong after viewing porn and getting hooked. I've lost my self-esteem, I don't socialize, and I am always so lonely. Every time I go without porn for some time, I regain energy, but I've lost count of how many times I've relapsed. I’m not giving up though, I'll keep up the fight.
So happy that this podcast is out. Spreading awareness is the key to this incredible movement. Love what you guys are doing—keep up the amazing work.
I think it’s amazing what you do and it does have an effect and an influence on people, especially when you make your statements so fashionable. It’s so important to speak out against these issues that are so normalized in this society and I’m glad that there are organizations like yours.
I'm very happy to find you in this moment! Thank you so much for the attention and caring! This means a lot to me!
You really care about love and this kind of gesture makes me believe that there is hope for the human kind!
I appreciate the work that FTND is doing. I hope that this might enable you to continue helping people who are struggling with this addiction.
