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!
“The Brain” was amazing! The studies made so much sense and I can really understand the negative effects of porn and how it changes the brain. This was very informative.
Every word spoken on the podcast has made me a better person for having listened to it. I've consumed pornography since I was a kid, and I've been disgusted with it for a very long time but still relapse. Jane Doe’s testimony is maybe the single most motivating thing I've encountered in overcoming my “need” for porn.
I have been giving a monthly donation to an anti-trafficking organization for many years. This past month, I have felt so strongly that one of the more profound ways I can help stop human trafficking is by fighting the porn industry. Thank you for making it so easy for me to do, just by donating to your organization. I first agreed to donate $50/month, but after I got to the payment page, I knew I had to go back and pledge $100/month. Don’t give up the fight!
Hello, Fight the New Drug team. I cried when I saw your Facebook page because it's been a long journey of trying to give up pornography and I was losing hope in myself. I'm starting to doubt if I can make it, if I can really quit porn. But your page is like a ray of light passing through my heart. It gives me hope. I just want you to know how you are a gift to me and all others who are going through pornography addiction like me right now.
This time, I really wanted to make things right. And I hope I can find my journey to healing with you because this fight is not a single fight, but a continual battle. Thank you.
I’ve followed you guys for a long time and it has made me more comfortable speaking out against something I never agreed with but was scared to speak on. So thank you for your account and the hard work you do!
Thank you for bringing awareness to what has become a massive issue in our community and relationships! Keep up the good fight!
Hey! Literally no one knows but me, and now you, that it was ever an issue, but today is my first anniversary of being clean from porn and I really wanted to tell someone! This is the longest I’ve gone in 20 years! And also, I wanted to thank you. It has been really helpful to see y’alls posts daily and be reminded that I don’t actually want it. It’s 3:40 am as I’m writing this and I’m just so happy because I never thought I’d make it this long. THANK YOU!
I love how simply the psychologists and neuroscientists explained the effects that porn has on the brain, it made it so easy to understand. I loved how the three people the first episode focused on were so blunt and open–that can be challenging to do sometimes.
As a young boy, I did not get any education on sex or have anywhere to turn to get my questions answered. The circles I was in presented sex as something that was gross, dirty, and wrong to want until marriage. Essentially, I feel like a lot of circles try to scare sexual desire out of people at a young age because, in their minds, it protects them. But when I got older and inevitably had these thoughts, questions, and desires, I felt like I had no person to go to in order to get answers and so because of my curiosity I stumbled upon porn but had nobody I could go to. My hope is to help change the stigma and the conversation around pornography and to help kids make an educated decision on it.
Wow, thanks for helping me out. I am not going to watch porn anymore. This will definitely be in my mind the next time I feel tempted. Please grow and help other people.
I knew that pornography has a lasting negative effect on people’s lives but to hear it from the words of people it affected impacted me more profoundly. Great documentary!
Thank you so very much for your podcast and the way you and your guests talk so frankly about their journeys with pornography. My husband has been living porn-free for the past year but struggled to get free for eight months before that. I spoke about our journey at a community event recently and used much of the information that I learned from FTND and from listening to your podcast. I know that pornography is hurting so many families. I really appreciate what you all are doing to help people know the truth. It is helping me to heal from the betrayal trauma. I know it is helping many who have been hurt in a variety of ways.
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!
As someone who is trying to fight his own porn addiction and is familiar with how porn destroys feelings in relationships, this documentary is inspiring to watch!
Tonight a spam porn account added me on Snapchat. I deleted the request but just having the brief glimpse of the profile pic was beginning to trigger me. I was scrolling through Instagram with it rolling around the back of my mind until I saw one of your posts. It reminded me of everything I know and kept me from relapse. Thank you for all you do!
