Impact

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 wrote you in February in the thick of my hurt after my husband came clean about a porn addiction he’s had for seven of the ten years we’ve been together. I was completely shattered and devastated to my core. I’m writing to you today to say how much our lives have changed in the last couple of months. I completely gave up my role of trying to fix him, and I just loved him through it. I saw him for him and not for the porn problem, and now things couldn’t be better between us. He’s sought out accountability weekly, and he’s excited about the future. I don’t feel like I could know my husband better than I do right now. Our communication is raw and honest, but packed with love and fight. I’m falling for him all over again. So thank you for what you do. Thank you for loving us all through this–you are making a difference.

Thank you for all you’re doing. You are helping a lot of people expand their minds and hearts and see the truth about something we used to think, in a superficial way, was just harmless entertainment. I’m in the process of recovering and healing from an addiction that has been taking over my life since I was young. I think that by being involved in this movement, I get the chance to fall in love with myself again and realize I’m not a horrible person.

Sported my Fight the New Drug sticker on my luggage and the guy behind me acknowledged that it saved him from an addiction to porn!

Hey y’all! I just wanted to shoot a message to say thank you for everything you do to educate the world about the harmful effects of pornography. I became addicted to pornography when I was 11 and still struggle to this day. I don’t actively consume anymore due to everything I now know, but I still have a hard time with the things I’ve seen. I also appreciate the lack of religious bias when discussing facts with other people. When I start to talk about the harms and lasting effects of porn, people usually just brush what I have to say right off because they assume porn isn’t really harmful, but with the articles you put out, I’m able to provide facts to others. Thank you again for everything this organization does and will continue to do.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you so much. I am a 12-year-old kid who has been addicted to porn for over six years. My sister found out and she showed me the Fight the New Drug three-part series. I watched all three episodes and I am no longer watching porn. So I just wanted to thank you, and without you guys, I would still be watching.

I am so incredibly impressed with the quality, creativity, excellent research, flow, humor, etc. of how you all have produced such a fantastic docuseries! Thank you so much! I am a speaker/health educator for junior and high school students and I am always looking for great material to help the students recognize the dangers of pornography. Thank you again for such superior material and information produced in such an engaging way. Very very impressive!

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.

Finding you guys today makes me feel less alone, especially after finding porn on my boyfriend’s phone. It has absolutely destroyed me. And together as a couple, we are going to try and work out this issue because porn kills love, and I don’t want this obstacle to kill our love.

I was exposed to pornography at age 13 and am 18 now. It’s been an on-and-off battle. When the chemicals are flowing, it’s easy to just give in to the momentary desires. A couple weeks ago, I had the urge to watch porn after resisting for a couple weeks. I struck a deal with myself: visit fightthenewdrug.org first and then see how I feel. I did so and ended up spending about 2 hours on your website. IT IS AMAZING. Since then, I‘ve felt stronger and better than ever. Now I have the brain, heart, and societal reasons to fight back. This movement is such a blessing. I love how it is not religiously rooted; it’s for everyone. It’s a message that I hope continues to spread. You guys are amazing and have made me a better person. Thank you so much! You have helped me to remember to consider before consuming!
