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.

Amazing first episode. It sparked a lot of thoughts and emotions in my brain. It made me feel refreshed, and that I can eventually overcome my addiction to porn.

I’ve been following you guys for more than a year. A week ago, I confessed to someone that I struggle with porn. Once those words left my mouth, I felt this huge relief off my chest. I’ve been struggling with porn since I was 10 years old and now I am 24 years old. I hid my addiction in the dark, but now it’s in the light. I just want to thank you guys for this page. It’s been so helpful, and now I can walk on this path to freedom! My chains have been broken!

I just wanted to tell you thanks! You guys were my inspiration for a speech I had to give in my public speaking class! I was super passionate about the harmful effects of porn, and it was cool to see the faces change from when I first introduced my topic to my very last sentence. Keep doing great work!

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!

Man, I absolutely love what Fight the New Drug is doing. I was held captive to a porn addiction for 10 years, and I’ve been free for 5 months. Fight the New Drug was a key component to my freedom.

I’m so happy there are people out there fighting against this awful plague that has devastated so many people, including my own family. I’m grateful for the help and resources that are out there!

Since I started informing myself through your documentary and publications, I'm finally changing myself and I'm starting to get rid of this horrible habit that I had since I was 12.

Fight the New Drug, I want to thank you for absolutely everything. You guys have helped me understand pornography in a new way that I have never seen before. I thought your information was so important that I did a presentation on it and showed my school how detrimental porn actually is to your brain and heart. The project went extremely well, and I was able to show the kids how harmful porn is and how it affects others around you.

Info from Brain, Heart, World was important in shaping how I viewed pornography. It hurts every person who encounters it, no matter the setting, age, gender, or worldview. Thank you FTND for your work.

One of the biggest reasons I support Fight the New Drug is because of your basis in science. Having a strong psychological and physiological foundation provides you with credibility. It also makes your message more accessible, no matter the worldview or background. I also appreciate your understanding and support of people suffering from an addiction to pornography. Shaming those struggling isn't going to help them in their fight to do and be better. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!

I LOVE the Consider Before Consuming podcasts. I used to struggle with pornography, and it ruined my relationships and my life. Fight the New Drug and this podcast are awesome because they don’t shame BUT they’re informative about the harms of pornography and what it can do to you.
