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 really enjoyed not feeling like I’m the only one who has this problem and I’m willing to make big changes to stop my addiction. Thank you so much for making this!
33 years of porn addiction; 34 months now of freedom! You guys are one tool I use in the battle. Thanks!
As someone who’s struggled with porn addiction and found myself looking for more and more intense porn over time, this is a great reminder of its harmful effects. There is a lot to learn here, and it can be hard to listen to sometimes, but it’s important to get some of the heartbreaking perspective. Thank you for doing this podcast.
I'm a senior in high school and I wrote about the harmful effects of pornography on women, and I just wanted to let you know that your TikTok account gave me the inspiration to do so. I had the clip of your interview with Dr. John Foubert in my favorites since 2021, and it always stayed in the back of my mind. So when I was assigned a research essay on a topic of my choosing, I thought of you guys. Thank you for fighting the good fight, and thank you for motivating me to write about it!
I remember crying and trying to find a way to tell my parents. I was so worried about how they would react. After five minutes of sobbing in front of them, I said the words out loud that I vowed I would never say: “Mom, Dad, I’m addicted to pornography and I need your help.” The first thing my mother said was, “I am so proud of you.” The first thing my dad said was, “I have 35 years of experience with this, and I am ready to help. We can do this together. I love you.” There is nothing I believe in more than cultivating trusting relationships so that you have people to fall back on who love you perfectly and will help you always.
Tonight a spam porn account added me on Snapchat. I deleted the request but just having the brief glimpse of the profile pic was beginning to trigger me. I was scrolling through Instagram with it rolling around the back of my mind until I saw one of your posts. It reminded me of everything I know and kept me from relapse. Thank you for all you do!
Your page has helped me be able to start conversations and encourage my husband so much! It means a lot that you all work so hard to fight this with science and facts!
Thank you for what you’re doing in the world!
Very attention-grabbing and informative messages that help bring to light all of the darkness that is in the porn industry. Grateful for a podcast that speaks out against injustices and for love.
I've been happier and more joyful consistently than I have been in quite a long time. One of the reasons is that I've been off porn for a month. Fight the New Drug, thank you guys for your help! You have encouraged me a lot even if you don't know it.
Thanks for everything you guys do. Honestly, the fight is real and sometimes shame eats at me but thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for what you do! I often feel so overwhelmed by the problem of pornography and how it feeds the sex trafficking industry and destroys relationships. People have written off my claims that pornography is harmful because they assume it’s a moral stance, when really, I’m just trying to help people understand how horrible porn is. It’s so helpful that you guys have timely research and articles that I can share with people and the fact that you are not religiously affiliated helps me to make my case. Thank you!
Thank you for being such a force for good in the world!
I've been fighting and losing on my own for so long. Last night I had the courage to write a letter and tell my mom about my struggle. Porn has ruined so much of me and I just wanted to say thanks because your guide on how to talk to a loved one helped me finally make that push and she reacted better than I expected and I think it'll really help me turn things around
Hello, I am grateful for the day I found your page. I have been addicted to pornography for years, and it's been a struggle. Most times, I felt helpless. I came across your page and everything was useful and informative, but I kept on indulging in my old habit. It was really a struggle but I didn't give up! For the first time in more than 10 years, I have gone three months without porn. I'm approaching my fourth month. It might be such a short time but I never believed I could not watch for this long. I have found myself. I do not intend to go back there again. The thought of porn is not even appealing to me right now. Thank you so much for all you do.
