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!
Last week, someone on Fight the New Drug's Facebook page encouraged me to tell my girlfriend about my addiction to porn. I've been scared to tell her, but after reading about Lamar Odom's story, I've decided I'm going to tell her.
Hey! Thanks for this page; it really is helping make a difference in my life. I’ve pretty much struggled with porn most of my life and I never loved it but also never hated it so I just kind of let it go, but after my friend suggested this page to me, I started to see how much porn actually affects my own life and relationships with people. I’ve now developed hate for what porn does and for what it is! So, thank you!
I wanted to reach out to y’all and let you know how grateful I am for your cause. I can’t thank you enough for introducing me to Fortify, responding to my message, and for all the help you give to others. I’ve been porn free since I first messaged you, and making this fight a part of my life, and my relationships with my family, my friends, and myself have done nothing but improve and give me overwhelming happiness! Thank you so much!
I’m fairly choosy with my time, and there are countless podcasts out there. I’ve been following FTND for a while now, first on Instagram and then through the website. When I found out you had a podcast, I had to check it out. If you’re looking for information, it’s here. If you want powerful true stories, they’re here. If you just need a little bit of encouragement to get through the day, it’s here. ‘Consider before Consuming’ is a podcast true to its vision—to fight for love and equip others with the tools they need to do just that. Don’t put this off. Give it a listen right now.
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.
Thank you so much for the Brain,Heart,World videos. It broke it down very well and in a way that got through to my husband, I think. Keep up the great work!
This was amazing. It definitely helps show that anyone struggling is not alone. I think it’s cool that it focused on real people’s stories, and it’s awesome that people are trying to spread the word that porn is a problem. It has been in my life, and I’m grateful for everyone who has helped me on the journey of stopping. Thank you for the great docuseries.
I have almost made it 2 weeks since the last time I watched porn. Sometimes it’s challenging to keep myself away from thoughts and memories, but I want to live the life that many people have been experiencing. I was exposed to porn when I was 6 until now at 22, but I want to be totally free. I want to see people, not to see bodies and shapes. I want to thank every single experience people share with you guys, and thank you for doing this for people. Many thanks for inspiring people around the world.
This account has helped me so much. I just want to say thank you for sharing the harmful effects of porn and that you aren’t a worthless person by watching, that anyone can make progress despite the setbacks. Porn kills love. Please continue the fight! Much love.
We loved Brain, Heart, World! It was funny as well as extremely informative. So glad I could show that to my kids. Thanks!
It was informative, relatable, engaging, funny, and just very real. It wasn't sugar-coated but it was explained with lots of examples, personal stories, and heart. I work at a drop-in center for youth and this is something that I think would be totally appropriate, fun, and helpful to watch with them.
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.
Thank you. You've spoken the words I've longed to hear. "Healing is possible" is the permission I was needing to move on.
Thank you for all that you do. I am truly and deeply appreciative.
I love that Brain, Heart, World wasn’t shaming. It was an informative video and was entertaining for our teenager, too.
I want to thank you for all the work you have been doing. At the beginning of last year, I got conscious about the real problem of pornography, and since then, I have been on a continuous fight. With wins and fails on quitting porn forever, I'm still on a long journey, but am much closer to the final objective. Soon I will finally be free, achieve the best version of myself, and discover true love.
