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 know you guys probably get hundreds of DMs, but I just wanted to thank the people who run this account. I have struggled with porn since I accidentally came across it on Pinterest (of all the places) when I was 10 years old. My entire childhood/young adulthood has been plagued by the horrible cycle of guilt, shame, resistance, redemption, and inevitable pain again that comes from a life of porn addiction. And it hurts so badly to know that my feelings are nothing compared to those of the people I helped exploit. It’s haunting. On nights that I’m struggling, getting on Instagram and reading your stories gives me the strength to say no. Thank you for helping me in the fight for real love. I fight for the dignity of every person.
First, whoever you are, let me express my appreciation for this organization coming into existence. A science-based, non-religious movement is the approach called for. It never occurred to me that I was addicted to porn until I came across FTND videos on YouTube. It prompted me to say out loud to myself and later to a friend that I am a recovering porn addict, and let me tell you, it was a relief! I've been "on the wagon" for three months, and I want to stay on it for the rest of my life.
Every young person and parent of young people should see this documentary. What a valuable tool and resource it is.
Thanks for your work, guys. The beginning of the pandemic was rough for me—I really struggled with pornography. I was doing research about it and came to your Instagram page, which led me to the podcast. I listened to like two episodes and, no word of a lie, I haven’t watched porn in at least eight months now. I can’t do it on my own, so finding your podcast was amazing. Thanks, guys.
Hey, I really don’t know if you’ll ever see my message, but I wanted to say thank you! I am so happy that I found your account because in the past I thought that I was alone with my opinion about porn. I think that your content is really important for many people.
As someone who has battled porn addiction myself, I’m so appreciative of the amazing work you’re doing.
Hey guys, I had a small setback today with watching pornography, but one of your videos encouraged me to get back on track. Thank you for creating awareness on this subject.
I just wanted to tell you that your posts are so motivating. I can't thank you enough–you people are doing a tremendous job. I think the most dangerous thing about porn is that it is accessible. Please continue the work that you're doing and keep helping millions of people from all over the world get rid of this drug. Thank you once again. Peace!
This documentary needs to be shown in ALL schools! Very educational!
You have truly opened my eyes to the harm pornography does not only to people like me but to everyone around me. The story from the victims really affected me.
As a former porn addict, I am very grateful that this kind of information is getting out there. It helps strengthen my resolve not to regress back into those old habits. This addiction can feed human trafficking along with perpetuating the objectification of my own gender. Can’t thank you enough for your work on this front. Only wish you’d have been around when I was a teen.
Just gotta say I really appreciate this page. Y'all helping so many people with this silent epidemic.
This podcast gave me such a wonderful perspective and changed my views on porn! Thanks for starting the conversation! I will be sharing this.
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.
Thank you so much for the Brain,Heart,World videos. It broke it down very well and in a way that got through to my husband, I think. Keep up the great work!
