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!
I wanted to reach out and let you know that this organization is really an incredible resource, especially for other teenagers like me. I chose to write my most recent research paper on the detriments of pornography. I knew it wasn't a good thing, but I was shocked by the sheer number of ways it can negatively impact a person. This paper quickly became priority number one in school. Fight the New Drug provided a lot of information that really benefited me as both a person and a writer. I check in regularly to see what new information is available and always look forward to reading more. Thank you for providing this information for us.
Thank you for the lifeline of your organization. My family has been affected by this issue, and this is the first time I've felt real hope.
The other day I saw the video with Terry Crews and his “Porn Kills Love” shirt. It has really inspired me. I found you guys and have read your tips on how to keep myself occupied. I’ve had issues with porn since I was 11, and for the past few days, I’ve stayed away from it. And I’ve never felt better in my life. I’ve only been off for 4 days but I’m proud of myself for fighting the urge.
The documentary was captivating. I enjoyed how it not only gave scientific data on the harmful effects of pornography but also ended with hope for those entrenched in this epidemic.
Keep up the good work! I kicked the habit two years ago and haven't looked back. This is a major issue of our time and I'm glad you are speaking out on it.
Hey guys, I really love everything you do, and y’all are partly the reason I’ve quit porn entirely. Thanks, you're doing great work!
I am really happy that there is a podcast available on this topic! I myself am a struggling consumer but also an activist of fighting the new drug, and I’ve seen and felt the negative effects it has had on my life. Every day, it is becoming more normal for young adults, teens, and, in some cases, children to view pornography. Podcasts like this help educate myself and others about this new drug. Very grateful for this, and very excited for the knowledge and wisdom and journey of this podcast!
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.
I saw your “Tips to Quit” article! I told my boyfriend about my struggle and had him put a password in on my phone that only he knows, and then one on my computer. It has, hands down, been the thing that has worked for me. Even if I want access, I can’t have it. The day he did that was the biggest weight off my shoulders. No more worrying about giving in to my addiction. I am very lucky to have a partner who supports me, no questions asked.
Hi. I think this movement is amazing. The amount of work that has been put into it shows— everything from the documentary to the interviews, the website, and the store. I was aware of the issues, like sex trafficking and relationship interference, but this really puts it all together and makes me want to change. Thanks for everything.
I love this podcast! This world is full of opinions, and it’s nice to find a podcast that is fighting for good. This has helped me in my life to find comfort. My husband and I listen to it together and get to feel closer together by doing so.
Hey FTND team, thank you for providing so much information and encouraging people to speak up about the harmful effects of pornography no matter who they are. Thanks to you, I gave a speech about just that topic in front of my English class on Tuesday and sparked up a great conversation with a classmate. I also was graded the highest mark we could get. Thank you so much for all the things you do.
Hello! I am a big supporter of FTND and just wanted to let you know that I have recovered from a porn addiction that lasted about 8 years. If you ever need someone to share their story, I would love to help. Your organization helped educate me and pushed me to find help and quit porn. Thank you!!
I came across one of your articles shortly after watching pornography 16 days ago. Since reading how porn is fake and ignores consent, and isn’t a real representation of what sex should be between two consenting adults, I realised the porn I was watching was creating a negative impact on my life. Not only that, I was using it to fulfill my emotional needs instead of seeking a real relationship. Since quitting porn after seeing your article, I changed the way I will go about having sex in the future. I’ll always be respectful and comfortably open to communicate with my romantic partner about sex. I’ll focus on what she prefers and is comfortable with doing rather than ignoring that and using her for sex. Since finding your site, I am very appreciative and I have made some amazing changes in my life for good.
I love your work. Your resources are absolutely amazing. Keep raising awareness to make the harms of porn known!
