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!
Thank you so much! I knew I was not alone. From now on, I choose to stop. I’ll make it. I will be a person full of life again.
My boyfriend’s porn addiction came to light a week ago and I’ve been looking to inform myself as much as possible. We just watched part one of the documentary, “The Brain,” together. He’s has seen aspects of the documentary already in his life, but hearing the personal accounts was really valuable for both of us. I asked him if it made him feel less alone. He had replied that the individuals in the video were all around his age and that really comforted him. Thank you for all that you’re doing—it’s changing lives.
Recently, I came across FTND via Pinterest. Within the past few months, I experienced some gut-wrenching changes in my life that were due to my significant other's porn addiction. I went from thinking porn is OK in small amounts and moderation to thinking it's toxic and needs to be expelled from one’s life as soon as possible. I want to thank the brave people behind FTND. Thank you for being a loud voice for all those that believe porn is not ok at it TRULY does disrupt and destroy love–I am living proof of that.
I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for sharing supportive resources. When my boyfriend (now husband) first shared with me about his struggles & setbacks, I felt completely alone. I found ZERO articles or resources for people who felt hurt or betrayed. That search was actually how I discovered your organization. I felt validated in my opposition to porn in a culture that is immersed in it. My husband has not had a setback in 2 years! Thank you so much for providing great resources for not only those who struggle but also for those of us who want to learn to be supportive partners but need time to heal.
As a nurse, I really appreciate the scientific education from experts on the very real damage that porn does to the brain, as well as the hope for healing!
Thank you for what you’re doing in the world!
Hey, I watched your recent three-part documentary series on porn’s impacts. I wanted to say thanks for putting that together, and thanks for allowing us to access it for free!
I love what you stand for. My boyfriend and I are currently fighting his porn addiction together and I'm so excited for our shirts to come. This has been an overwhelming, anxiety-filled time for me, and being able to use your website and information has been so helpful.
Let me first say thank you for what you're doing! Education is so important. You are helping so many people. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you. When my son was in eighth grade, I used your Brain, Heart, World videos to teach him about porn; it opened the door to so many really important conversations we probably wouldn't have had otherwise.
Your cause is working! I’ve been following FTND since 2018 when my then-boyfriend, now husband, broke my heart for the second time with his addiction. I didn’t know until the second time that it was an addiction, and I encouraged him to get therapy. But I was just scrolling today and I saw this one post, and I read some comments, and people are actually aware of porn’s harms! I’m just so happy that awareness is spreading.
I’m a couple of weeks clean from porn, and I do think my mindset is significantly more clear. No plans on returning. I’m too happy.
I loved it! The whole segment was done with excellence in a way that keeps the viewer’s’ attention. I will definitely be encouraging my friends and family to watch this, whether they themselves are struggling with pornography consumption or not.
I really appreciate the work you guys are doing! I have learned so much from your page and it started some really important conversations with my colleagues at work. I would love to support your team in more ways moving forward.
I don't know if you guys read this but my sexual assault story is exactly like a story you shared. I wanted to say thank you for sharing this because not only does it help to raise awareness but it also helps to make people who have been assaulted feel less alone, and know other people have felt exactly how they have.
Thank you so much for the resources you've sent me–it means more than you know. Thank you.
