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 knew that pornography has a lasting negative effect on people’s lives but to hear it from the words of people it affected impacted me more profoundly. Great documentary!
Wow, great stuff. I watched it with my 13-year-old son. It's so helpful to have real people tell their stories.
For a year or so, I got sucked into the world of porn. But after I discovered FTND, I learned how much I was hurting myself and how much pain my habit caused the other people involved. I quit cold turkey right then, and as difficult as it was, I was able to move on from it and learn from my mistakes. I’ve now been completely clean for 6 months, and I was able to wholeheartedly experience true love. With what I had discovered, I was able to reach out to my best friend and help them quit their addiction as well. They’ve now been 2 months clean. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything. I will be forever grateful and a proud Fighter.
Thanks for showing me the light out of my depression!
I love everything you do!! You are all amazing!
Thank you. You've spoken the words I've longed to hear. "Healing is possible" is the permission I was needing to move on.
Thank you for all that you do. I am truly and deeply appreciative.
FTND has provided me with lots of information regarding the negative reality of the porn industry and the effects viewing pornography has on the consumer. Your website features really informative articles packed with science and facts on the truth about porn and how it affects things like the brain of the consumer, relationships, intimacy, and even society at large. I will support this cause for as long as I live and breathe on this planet. The fact that you aim to impact the most vulnerable of the population, youth, makes me feel like this work needs to continue so long as pornography remains a public health crisis.
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’ve watched this documentary twice, once on my own and then with my fiancé, as he would always dismiss my views and alienate me for not accepting his use of porn. After he watched the first part, he asked me if there was more to watch, and he watched the rest saying that it was a real eye-opener and that when our children are old enough, we will watch the documentary with them.
Amazing! I can’t wait to sit and watch Brain, Heart, World with my boyfriend. We’ve both been struggling with our own addictions to porn and this was so packed with information that sought only to help, not to judge. Thank you!
It is an honor to help fight with you and your team, even if it’s just a conversation from the t-shirts to start. Truly from the most genuine part of my heart, this organization has changed my life and I cannot express my gratitude enough.
I watched Brain, Heart, World, this weekend and it’s a must-see. The explanation of porn’s effects on your brain, relationships, and the world caught my eye because the message never centered on whether porn is “good” or “bad,” but rather was based on scientific evidence. It was approachable for young minds. I was quickly hooked, playing one episode after another. Mixing personal stories with professional perspectives was an effective way to show how a consumer’s brain changes when exposed to porn, and the ways can alter our personality, preferences, and approach to life.
What I liked the most was the hopeful tone of the documentary. Despite showing terrible effects and heartbreaking stories, it sends an optimistic message, addressing directly people who may be trapped in porn consumption and giving them information as to where to turn for help.
I always had the strong feeling that I was alone with this, especially because I’m a woman. But since I started this journey of recovery, I noticed that this is not exclusively a male problem. Girls struggle, too. With a huge amount of courage, I told my best friend about my struggle. She said: “You know what? I don’t care what you’re struggling with. You’re still the same, wonderful person I love so much.” This changed my life. I started to tell more people that I trusted and always got a similar response: we’re in this together.
So to all the Fighters out there, I want to encourage you! Tell someone you trust about your struggle. It will not get better by hiding and shaming yourself. You are powerful and worthy of love! I’m currently still recovering. My journey is not over yet. But I hang in there. I know one day I will be able to say that I beat this. And I can’t wait for this day!
Your docuseries, Brain, Heart, World, changed my life. Thank you.
I found porn in an effort to understand what was being done to me. As a 10-year-old boy, I was being molested and raped regularly by my 16-year-old male cousin. I found out later that he was addicted to porn, and that was part of what made him try to act it out on me. I struggled with porn and an unhealthy relationship with sex until my early 20s. I bought my first FTND shirt years ago, and I just joined the Fighter Club. Thank you guys for what you are doing to fight something that fuels sexual abuse and child trafficking and exploitation.
