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 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!

Wow, thanks for helping me out. I am not going to watch porn anymore. This will definitely be in my mind the next time I feel tempted. Please grow and help other people.

I think it’s amazing what you do and it does have an effect and an influence on people, especially when you make your statements so fashionable. It’s so important to speak out against these issues that are so normalized in this society and I’m glad that there are organizations like yours.

I have now been porn-free for over a year and a half and I feel I have a genuine freedom from this addiction. I no longer feel like I'm a victim of a porn addiction and your program and being accountable to some other guys in my community were exactly what I needed to fight and overcome porn addiction.

I wish we had this knowledge 30 years ago. My instincts were spot on but I had no evidence to back me up. The evolution of global connectivity turned this industry into a virus. This three-part series is so well done. Kudos! It’s modern, relevant, vulnerable, silly, and lighthearted where appropriate. The last part made me cry. Your research and approach have made it non-threatening to all. I know the hard work put into this on the cinematography and filming alone. I am unraveling my world and healing as we speak. Your website is very profound. Thank you.

Thanks for showing me the light out of my depression!

Thank you for speaking out on the facts around this. Most people still don’t understand how porn impacts partners because it’s still so acceptable in our society.

I've been addicted to porn for years now. Always wanted to find a reason to quit but could never find one until now. I regret not having been exposed to these kinds of stories from the Consider Before Consuming podcast sooner. I hope you continue to heal, Jane Doe, and thank you for ruining porn for me.

I think the world needs more podcasts like this. Talking about REAL issues that everyone struggles with. I can only count on one hand how many podcasts I’ve listened to that really go deep into the real issues of porn and the mental, physical, and spiritual impact porn has on men AND women.

Hey y'all. I can't believe it's been three years since I found y'all. Not gonna lie, I had a pretty heavy relapse with my porn addiction these past few months. But as of Tuesday of this week, I am determined to start over and take active change. And once again, I couldn't have done it without y'all.

Hi, Thank you for all that y’all do and the education you bring to the table.

I’m thankful for organizations like FTND! Because of you talking about the harmful effects of porn, I’m now attending college in the fall and getting a degree in psychology to help trafficked women recover. I never knew that trafficking and porn went hand-in-hand. Thank you for showing that to me and thank you for repping a good cause!

Thanks for doing such great work, I've been in recovery for a few years now and reading your articles and listening to your podcasts fills me with hope for a better future.

Hi, I’ve been struggling with a porn addiction for at least 4 years now. I just wanted to let y’all know that looking through your different content really helped me to finally tell my girlfriend about my addiction. I’m almost a month clean now. Keep fighting the good fight.

Being a wife and choosing to fight alongside my husband, who’s celebrating 895 days in recovery, has been the hardest and most rewarding experience of our lives! Through this journey, we’ve celebrated and fought together as accountability partners, best friends, lovers, husband and wife, and now future parents! We’ve learned so much. First, love can’t be clicked! It’s about real people, real love, and life! It’s about the journey and that we’re stronger fighting together! Also, it’s never going to be easy every day, it might not always be a victory–we are not perfect, and life isn’t perfect. It’s messy but it’s beautiful and it’s so worth it to fight! Consistency, accountability, and knowledge are some huge factors that helped his success along the way. Honestly, we wouldn’t be celebrating here today if it wasn’t for Fight the New Drug. Thank you, thank you, thank you for existing!
