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!
Hi, I’ve been struggling with a porn addiction for at least 4 years now. I just wanted to let y’all know that looking through your different content really helped me to finally tell my girlfriend about my addiction. I’m almost a month clean now. Keep fighting the good fight.
Ever since I saw Brain, Heart, World 100 days ago, I haven’t watched porn since. For my 100th day without porn celebration, I decided to share my personal story with porn and objectification on my blog for all of my friends and family to know what is going on with this fight and journey I am on.
It was very difficult to share this, but Fight the New Drug has helped me to see that it is okay to talk about this and that is the only way that this may change. Thank you all!
I’m so happy there are people out there fighting against this awful plague that has devastated so many people, including my own family. I’m grateful for the help and resources that are out there!
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.
It is very encouraging to see young people speaking openly about this important topic. Great job, FTND! Keep up the good work--your efforts are vital to the public health and safety!
I’m just here to say thank you for educating people on what they’re consuming. If I hadn’t known about what really goes on in the pornography industry, I wouldn’t be free from it today. We always think it only has an affect on us, but watching porn sets off a whole chain reaction. I’ve been free for probably almost a year—I actually forgot when last I’ve consumed pornography! The. Best. Thing. I. Did. For. Myself. And. The. Whole. World!
The information you guys have shared changed my life. Thanks
Incredibly informative and inspiring. This docuseries has saved my relationship. THANK YOU!
Hey! Thank you very much for the work you do. The resources you make available have helped me a lot.
Hey guys, I really love everything you do, and y’all are partly the reason I’ve quit porn entirely. Thanks, you're doing great work!
I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to send me a personal message with so much guidance and encouragement. I feel better about moving forward knowing I’m not alone and I have these resources. I’m glad you mention shame so many times. Even when you love someone, it’s honestly really hard to accidentally bring shame into the conversation because you feel so hurt. Thank you for reminding me it’s not personal because it truly feels like you’ve been cheated on and it’s really tough to separate yourself from the situation. I’m going to look into these resources and try to make progress. You are making a big difference in our world, thank you.
Great documentary! We watched with our teens. It was educational, eye-opening and based on solid data. Thank you! I have recommended it multiple times to other parents of teens.
Just wanted to share something with y’all. I’m an accountability partner for my best friend, and y’all’s content really helps because I’m able to let him know about the horrors of porn for both the viewers AND the performers. I shared this with him because it helped me in my fight. After getting that insight into pornography, it was easier to fight that temptation because I didn’t want to contribute to hurting others. Because of that, I’m able to help #StopTheDemand.
As a young boy, I did not get any education on sex or have anywhere to turn to get my questions answered. The circles I was in presented sex as something that was gross, dirty, and wrong to want until marriage. Essentially, I feel like a lot of circles try to scare sexual desire out of people at a young age because, in their minds, it protects them. But when I got older and inevitably had these thoughts, questions, and desires, I felt like I had no person to go to in order to get answers and so because of my curiosity I stumbled upon porn but had nobody I could go to. My hope is to help change the stigma and the conversation around pornography and to help kids make an educated decision on it.
The weight of not hiding things from my wife has been lifted! I don’t worry about her catching me because I’m not hiding anything!
