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’M A FIGHTER!
I recently joined the Fighter Club, the exclusive insiders club for monthly supporters of the organization Fight the New Drug. They sent me this membership coin, some stickers, and an “Impact” book.
This organization means a lot to me and my own personal story with addiction and recovery. I love their mission, their content, and their merch. I love that they are research-based and education-focused.
My husband has been on the road to recovery for 5 years. Watching him grow into the man he is without porn has been a beautiful transformation–not easy, but SO worth it. His addiction started when he was 5. With a rough childhood, porn made him feel safe and loved when he felt anxious or upset. Those were false perceptions, which he learned as he grew and saw porn’s damage.
He told me about his addiction in 2017. At first, I didn’t know how to support him and had to work through my own emotions. But the past year has been the best year of our relationship. Even though he is still recovering, I’m so proud of how far he’s come and his choice to be on this journey. No one truly understands the depths of the addiction and how it can ruin every aspect of your life. My husband has always been an amazing man. I am overjoyed to watch him live in freedom and confidence. He is an amazing husband, father, and friend.
I just wanted to share that porn fueled the sexual abuse and assault I experienced as a teen. Thanks to resources like yours, I’ve been able to find healing, peace, and a life after trauma. I just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Someday, no one will suffer like I did and that gives me so much joy.
It feels great to contribute to something that’s helped me so much. When I discovered this amazing organization, I was really addicted to porn but wanted to quit. I ruined my relationship with my girlfriend at the time and pushed a lot of people away. Through FTND, I was able to conquer my addiction. I happened to stumble upon this website from a Google search. I’ll freely admit that when I first realized/discovered your site’s purpose, I immediately thought to myself, ‘It’s another one of those self-righteous “porn is bad” groups trying to tell people how to live.’ But once I read through your mission page, it became obvious that I was wrong. I’m actually very impressed by your goals that are the literal opposite of every other anti-porn group I’ve come across. Your stance of helping those who ask for it and respecting the freedoms of those who choose not to is extremely refreshing to see. I wish you luck!
