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!
As a teen, I watched porn all the way until I became pregnant with my first kid. My mother raised us to be aware of addiction and how it sneaks up on you and takes over your life. I knew there was something wrong with the fact that I always resorted back to watching porn. The fact that I couldn’t stop permanently wasn’t “normal,” so I went searching for research on the subject. That’s when I stumbled upon this huge movement called Fight the New Drug.
Once I read the stats on how people are sex trafficked for porn, and how porn is impacting our culture and love, I was devastated that I had been supporting. It pushed me to learn more, and that’s when I learned how porn affects our brains and pulls us into the addiction. I made it my mission to never let my porn addiction affect me again and to reach out to as many people as possible to educate and help others with their addiction to porn. I can PROUDLY say I have not watched porn in two years!! I am proud to be porn-free!
This donation amount is what I would withdraw each time to fuel my addiction. As part of my recovery, this is an important symbolic gesture to fight for love.
Dear FTND, I decided to quit watching porn a long time ago because of my personal mental health and to stop contributing to the demand for sex trafficking. It’s been months since I watched it. I’m free, and I know in my heart that it will stay that way. I can’t thank you enough for your content and information–it was all very helpful in the healing process. Also, you’re doing great work and saving so many lives. Forever grateful.
I really enjoyed not feeling like I’m the only one who has this problem and I’m willing to make big changes to stop my addiction. Thank you so much for making this!
I just want to say thank you for making this! This is a growing fight for many youth that I have come in contact with! And these videos are a great resource! So, thank you!
I am currently battling this addiction and I struggle to find the words to express my gratitude to everyone who made this documentary, and to everyone who made it available.
Thank you for making this documentary series. It's echoed thoughts I've been having recently about how things have been developing in the world though I couldn't entirely put it into words. I am grateful to learn more about the brain and how we are the results of the choices we make.
33 years of porn addiction; 34 months now of freedom! You guys are one tool I use in the battle. Thanks!
Thank you so much for the work you do! You were the first secular resource I found and you have helped me tremendously to understand the psychological aspect behind my husbands addiction. Disclosure was about 4 months ago, and I have him listening to your podcast now which is helping him better understand himself and where I'm at. Seriously, I'm so appreciative for the resources you provide.
I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to send me a personal message with so much guidance and encouragement. I feel better about moving forward knowing I’m not alone and I have these resources. I’m glad you mention shame so many times. Even when you love someone, it’s honestly really hard to accidentally bring shame into the conversation because you feel so hurt. Thank you for reminding me it’s not personal because it truly feels like you’ve been cheated on and it’s really tough to separate yourself from the situation. I’m going to look into these resources and try to make progress. You are making a big difference in our world, thank you.
I think you are doing an invaluable job in educating people across all walks of life about the real harm and destruction internet porn wreaks in people’s lives. Thank you for such informative, creative, and heart-wrenching content! Please continue with your noble efforts!
We’re usually not ones to spend big amounts of money on clothes, but since my husband is an ex-porn addict, and we are incredibly passionate about this topic we had to make room in our small budget to take this opportunity. We will wear these shirts as often as we can to spark conversation. 100% worth it.
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.
Thank you for your efforts to fight this increasingly addictive content, for getting the word out, and for helping guys like me to see the devastation caused by what I once considered an innocent act, a harmless pastime.
This coming March 3rd will be 3 years since I found freedom from a 20 plus year porn addiction. Thank you for speaking truth and healing on this hush hush topic.
