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 recovering porn addict myself, this podcast has helped me further understand myself and it always helps when you can relate to someone who has had the struggle themselves.
Porn has been a lifelong struggle and I’m a big supporter of your organization. My fiancé introduced me to you. He loves you guys!
I finally told my parents about my porn addiction last night. It had made me depressed and antisocial because I felt like nobody could love me. I thought my parents were going to be disappointed or angry with me, but they were actually really proud of me for coming to them. They didn’t make me feel bad about myself, and were completely loving and understanding. Now we do a weekly phone audit, so they look through my phone and I look through their phones with complete trust. I’m so happy now that I’ve told someone. It was completely consuming me, but it was like a virus that wouldn’t stop. In the end, I couldn’t forgive myself until I told someone and accepted that I had a problem. Thank you for being a source that people like me can come to and feel loved.
I’ve struggled with porn addiction since age 12. I’m finally choosing to let my shame go. Porn is very prevalent in Icelandic society, but its negative effects are rarely, if ever, discussed. People view it as perfectly normal. Therapists never mention it as an issue, and I’ve never heard an Icelandic person admit they have a problem with porn, so I felt like I was the only one. Hearing personal accounts from FTND and studying the research has been so refreshing, knowing that I am not alone.
In high school, I gave a speech explaining porn stats I got from your website. The teacher told me afterwards she’d learned a lot and wished everyone in school could hear that message. I think people here would agree, but they just don’t know. So I wanted to thank you, especially for your podcast which has been a way for me to be surrounded by light and strength. You reach far outside the US, and have at least one supporter in Iceland. Much love.
I have been struggling with porn addiction for 13 years. I have kinda given up lately, but it was good to hear that my brain really can be normal again.
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.
Thank you so much for continuing to fight the good fight! I look forward to seeing all your creative projects to get the message out!
Such an amazing group of people that put these podcasts together to fight against something worth fighting against! Happy to be a part of the movement!
Fighter Club has given me hope. I am always needing a reminder that healing is possible and that people can change. No one is stuck watching porn forever. My boyfriend and I have grown so much stronger because of our teamwork, and he is so much healthier and happier now than ever. If it weren’t for FTND, we wouldn’t have gotten the resources that we needed to fight. It has been amazing being on the receiving end of hope, but it is even more fulfilling to be on the giving end.
Sex is such a beautiful thing, and to just see it commodified and turned into something that can be bought and sold just breaks my heart. I’m glad to be free from that addiction. #PornKillsLove
I love everything you do!! You are all amazing!
Hello! I am a big supporter of FTND and just wanted to let you know that I have recovered from a porn addiction that lasted about 8 years. If you ever need someone to share their story, I would love to help. Your organization helped educate me and pushed me to find help and quit porn. Thank you!!
Love y'all! I know that things are tough economically right now and your work is vital, so I wanted to give a little more in addition to my monthly donation. Keep fighting!
Hello! Thank you for creating this Instagram and helping so many people; you are very necessary.
I'm so incredibly grateful for your organization; you've helped me get on the path of healing and hope. Porn nearly destroyed my life, now I've been clean for almost two years! I bought a shirt just recently and can't wait to rep FTND as much as I can! I don't think I'll ever be able to pay you back fully, but I intend to try! Thank you x1000000!
