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’m a school counselor and think this is the best presentation I have seen for teens.
Super thankful to find you guys during recovery. 15 days so far and I feel like I have an entirely new mindset. I’m more calm, focused, clear, and confident than even before. It’s the wildest thing: I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I even got 15 days porn-free in over 13 years. This time it’s for good and I’m not looking back. I have new habits in place and am running straight through this thing!
Great documentary, guys. I’ve been struggling with the problem for years now and it really helped me. I’m gonna try to never let it trick me into watching it again. What really got me was the third episode of the documentary and how disgusted I felt that I ever contributed to such filth.
Your hard work is paying off. I love you and thank you. People are waking up to the harmful effects of this industry!
I’ve been porn-free for 24 months! 2 years! After being a porn addict for 33 years. I thank you guys!!
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 came across one of your articles shortly after watching pornography 16 days ago. Since reading how porn is fake and ignores consent, and isn’t a real representation of what sex should be between two consenting adults, I realised the porn I was watching was creating a negative impact on my life. Not only that, I was using it to fulfill my emotional needs instead of seeking a real relationship. Since quitting porn after seeing your article, I changed the way I will go about having sex in the future. I’ll always be respectful and comfortably open to communicate with my romantic partner about sex. I’ll focus on what she prefers and is comfortable with doing rather than ignoring that and using her for sex. Since finding your site, I am very appreciative and I have made some amazing changes in my life for good.
Keep posting. Keep the podcast. Keep reminding me of what I need to avoid. The more I see you in my feed, the better. I'm so grateful for the work you and others do to save.
Porn really messed me up. I used to be focused on my goals as a student, and I connected well with my peers, but all of that went wrong after viewing porn and getting hooked. I've lost my self-esteem, I don't socialize, and I am always so lonely. Every time I go without porn for some time, I regain energy, but I've lost count of how many times I've relapsed. I’m not giving up though, I'll keep up the fight.
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!
I was impacted by this. I have been struggling with porn for almost 15 years. Watching this really gave me hope that I can and I will recover, so that I can live my life to fullest without negative feelings dragging me down.
Hi, just wanted to let you know that at midnight, I’ll be seven days porn-free. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone a week without porn, and I’ve had zero urges to do it after doing research on the porn industry and using the resources you suggested. I’m not saying I’m completely in the clear, of course, since it’s been a week, but after only a week of no porn and no shame, I’ve been able to think clearly for the first time, I can feel good emotions again, and every day feels beautiful. If that’s just after a week, I can’t wait to see what’s to come. Thank you.
You are a lifeline. Wearing your tee shirts gives me a sense of empowerment to continue being victorious over the addiction to porn. I kind of feel like an ambassador. Cannot accurately express the gratitude that fills my heart for you. Thank you! #StopTheDemand
I’m a month clean from porn today! I wanted to celebrate that, so I’m letting you know!
I left porn in 2020 and I’m using this year to focus on fighting this addiction. Thank you for spreading the knowledge of the effect porn has on us! I share the mission and information from FTND with a lot of people. Thank you for making me, a woman who struggles with porn, feel normal and not judged. Women struggle, too! That needs to be a continual message out there.
Hello, I really love both your page and YouTube videos. Your factual information has motivated me to shake off my porn and sex addiction. I haven’t watched Pornhub or paid OnlyFans subscriptions for a month now.
