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!
Thank you! At the beginning of this year, I caught my husband looking at porn. He was exposed to it at a young age and addicted the majority of his life. It was probably one of the most painful experiences I’ve gone through. Now he’s been openly sharing with others his story, has been free of porn, has an accountability group, and he is just is able to enjoy a life without porn’s hold on him. It’s been so difficult to go through this, but we’re fighting! Thank you for your encouragement in a world that normalizes porn.
I love your work. Your resources are absolutely amazing. Keep raising awareness to make the harms of porn known!
Thank you! My boyfriend was able to find all the resources and help he needed to effectively combat his addiction through FTND, so we’re very grateful for the work you do!
Absolutely blown away by Brain, Heart, World! I have been struggling with porn since I was 12, and in the past year, I have been fighting it. This docuseries gave me hope and some ideas of what to do next. I can’t wait to share this with my friends who also struggle! Thank you!
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.
I used to make adult content on Tumblr. I believed it was a good way to make money and grow an audience. When I realized that I would be contributing to the downfall of others, I immediately stopped. I then saw how engrossed Tumblr was in porn, even after their iconic porn ban. This organization gives me hope for a better society.
Thank you for opening my eyes to this world and providing tools and resources to get educated and change my life.
Thank you for bringing awareness to what has become a massive issue in our community and relationships! Keep up the good fight!
I've already shared it with a bunch of people. It was really informative. It had a good combination of facts, personal stories, and science. And it was told in a way that all this information in the end gave hope and an idea of how to get out of porn.
We just watched Brain, Heart, World this week with our 18-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son. Excellent! We had a good discussion and will continue the dialogue. I’ve already recommended it to others. Thank you so much for this Fighter resource!!
Really great for young audiences, but really there is so much here for adults, too. I learned a lot about addiction in general. I wish my family could have seen this when my child was 10, before he became addicted.
I am a happy young man now. Since taking the #NoPornovember challenge last year, I have been able to stay two months without a click on pornography. The start wasn't easy but I am a better person now. Without porn, I have become more confident than I used to be. I don't have a love life, but I am now a free person. It was always stressful to be a prisoner of pornography but Fight the New Drug has been very helpful. I am not ashamed anymore to talk about porn addiction and its effects and emptiness.
I seriously thought I was alone in this journey until I found y’all. I love this community. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. I’m literally just a couple of days into being porn-free but feel so much better having found your community and resources.
I have been working toward letting go of porn this year, and the last few days have been rough. Today I was on the verge of buying porn and instead, I donated to y’all’s “Give for Love” fundraiser on Facebook! This is a huge step in the right direction, and I know I won’t regret donating that money later!
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.
