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!

Four years ago, I messaged you asking for help with my addiction. I was a high school student, terrified by the horrible addiction that had begun to eat away at my life. I’m 3 months free from porn. It may not seem like much, but I feel like a new person. I’m so grateful to you and I’m so thankful that I’m finally free. Thank you for everything you guys do!

I really want to thank you! If it weren’t for you and your amazing resources, I would probably still be miles away from recovery. So, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!!

Wow, this docuseries was truly awakening. I’ve tried and tried many times to quit porn, and after relapsing a couple of days ago, this was the motivation that I needed. I accept that what triggers me won’t go away, things won’t change straight away and there’s still the possibility of relapsing again; I have to be aware of that. But when one sees clearly that things do get better and the clouds do part eventually, it’s very motivating to know that there’s more to life than this. Beyond pornography is a better, more rewarding, and more fulfilling life. Thank you for making this documentary. I will work even harder to kick this out of my life!

I seriously thought I was alone in this journey until I found y’all. I love this community. Thank you so much and keep up the good work. I’m literally just a couple of days into being porn-free but feel so much better having found your community and resources.

I wanted to reach out to y’all and let you know how grateful I am for your cause. I can’t thank you enough for introducing me to Fortify, responding to my message, and for all the help you give to others. I’ve been porn free since I first messaged you, and making this fight a part of my life, and my relationships with my family, my friends, and myself have done nothing but improve and give me overwhelming happiness! Thank you so much!

Now at 23, I am thankful to say I have quit porn and have been clean for over 4 months. I have no desire to go back to where to the way I was, and I now have a radically different view of sex—a much more holistic and positive view of sex. FTND played a crucial role in getting to where I am today, and for that, I wanted to say thank you.

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

Thank you for speaking out on the facts around this. Most people still don’t understand how porn impacts partners because it’s still so acceptable in our society.

I reached day 50 for the first time ever and that was in large part due to y'all’s help. Thank you for your work.

This issue has left me feeling sad, helpless, angry, misunderstood, and lonely for so many years. Your team did amazing work by creating research-based content that makes it possible to have an actual constructive discussion about it. Reading through your website reminded me that we are not alone in this fight for change. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in there. It really made a difference for me!

Hi, I just want to say thank you for what you do. I am a 9th-grade teacher, and your docuseries helped me show my students the harm of porn, which, sadly, has touched some of their lives. Please continue working on this, you are making a big difference in the world.
