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!
This resource is really awesome! The slide about kids seeing porn at home hits home and made me realize that I need to bite the bullet by having that important, albeit awkward, conversation with my teen. This blueprint makes it that much easier. Thank you!
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!
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!
The other day, I brought up porn at my work with several coworkers who I'm pretty close to. I was nervous that they’d fight with me about it or I’d get very negative responses for saying how much I hated porn and everything it does/stands for/etc., but to my surprise and delight (and relief), every single one of my co-workers agreed with me and we were all able to have a great conversation about the dangers and harmfulness of porn. I'm so encouraged to see other people my age who are aware of how toxic it is and willing to fight against it. I'm so thankful for this page and all you guys do, and especially all the information you provided. Thank you so much!
I have been addicted to pornography for years now, and relating to these people's experiences in this documentary makes me feel less lonely. Thank you for everything you're doing. You make this world a better place.
Porn is something that I believed was normal for the majority of my life. Over the past couple of months, I have started to realize how it was affecting me, and then I discovered this page. Hesitant at first to learn and dive into all the knowledge you guys have to offer, today I sat down and finished the three-part video series Brain, Heart, World. LIFE CHANGING! It was fun, truthful, interesting, scary, and most importantly, it brought up so many good points on how this “normalized” drug is affecting not only myself but our society as a whole. Porn KILLS LOVE! I am starting my fight today!
I just wanted to show my gratitude for this page. I have struggled for many years. I am on my first week of no porn for the first time in 7-8 years. I am in awe of the difference it is making in my life. The heaviness and shame are gone and I am so much happier. Keep exposing the fallacies that are surrounded by porn and do not quit telling the truth!
You guys are the best! I put my Fighter Club stickers on all of my electronics and I’m entering my longest porn-free period in 9 years! The podcast and social media posts help me stay motivated and my monthly donation reminds me that I’m literally invested in winning!
Thank you for the valuable information and the amazing work that you guys are doing. I hope to contribute more in the future.
I can honestly say that discovering FTND was a massive breath of fresh air! My relationship got off to a rocky start due to discovering that my boyfriend watched porn. It made me feel extremely negative in so many ways, and yet I was made to feel that it was my issue because, “Porn is not a big deal! It’s not cheating!” Thankfully, four years on, we are more on the same page with the subject of porn. I fully support FTND and will be spreading the word!
Thank you for your work!! It means so much to me. I have vast personal experience to validate the scientific research you publish.
Amazing! Your messaging, cause, and merch are so great!
Super thankful to find you guys during recovery. 15 days so far and I feel like I have an entirely new mindset. I’m more calm, focused, clear, and confident than even before. It’s the wildest thing: I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I even got 15 days porn-free in over 13 years. This time it’s for good and I’m not looking back. I have new habits in place and am running straight through this thing!
Being a wife and choosing to fight alongside my husband, who’s celebrating 895 days in recovery, has been the hardest and most rewarding experience of our lives! Through this journey, we’ve celebrated and fought together as accountability partners, best friends, lovers, husband and wife, and now future parents!
We’ve learned so much. First, love can’t be clicked! It’s about real people, real love, and life! It’s about the journey and that we’re stronger fighting together! Also, it’s never going to be easy every day, it might not always be a victory–we are not perfect, and life isn’t perfect. It’s messy but it’s beautiful and it’s so worth it to fight! Consistency, accountability, and knowledge are some huge factors that helped his success along the way. Honestly, we wouldn’t be celebrating here today if it wasn’t for Fight the New Drug. Thank you, thank you, thank you for existing!
When the podcast came out, I rushed to subscribe. It’s so informative, and interesting, and equips me with lots of information and stories, and is very, very good!
