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 just want to thank you for what you’re doing here. I need facts, and when the craving for porn is high, I go to this page and let it help reset my brain. I hate porn and its energy but the magnetism is real; it’s like a parasite to humanity. Please keep always doing what you’re doing because it makes a difference.
Wow, FTND. Your email this morning, with the subject title “PSA: Porn Is Not Healthy” came at exactly the right time. I’ve been having an increasingly difficult time staying away from porn. I’ve been free of it for about 3 months, but, unfortunately, this morning I looked up a popular porn website. Just as I tapped on the first video, your email popped up at the top of my screen. I instantly knew what I was doing shouldn’t happen, and I exited the website. Thanks for the amazingly-timed email, and thanks for all you do to combat this pervasive issue.
Hey, guys! Four days ago, I reached my 1-year mark in recovery. I can honestly say that abstaining from porn has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I have my life back! And while I can say my life isn’t perfect, this recovery period has given me the tools I need to embrace every challenge that comes my way! I no longer need to resort to porn to numb my feelings and escape my problems, I found the strength within me to fight and keep moving forward no matter what, and it’s so worth it! I think clearer, I sleep better, my relationships are amazing, and I no longer look at women as objects and can actually look them in the eyes without feeling guilty and wondering what they would say.
Fighting this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m proud to be a Fighter!
I’ve been following you guys for more than a year. A week ago, I confessed to someone that I struggle with porn. Once those words left my mouth, I felt this huge relief off my chest. I’ve been struggling with porn since I was 10 years old and now I am 24 years old. I hid my addiction in the dark, but now it’s in the light. I just want to thank you guys for this page. It’s been so helpful, and now I can walk on this path to freedom! My chains have been broken!
My wife and I would like to express our appreciation for all that you do. Both of us had struggled with pornography in the past before we met. It was definitely something we bonded over and that brought us closer together, sharing our past struggles, why we went through it, etc. Now, we both fight for real love, and we stand up for what is right. Pornography steals so much out of what real love is meant to be, and both of us have promised to keep each other accountable and to never go back. Real love IS worth fighting for!
Thank you guys for all you do! I love the three documentary episodes–they’re so well done and personable. I find most people don’t know the harms of porn because they don’t talk about it. My boyfriend’s porn habit nearly ended our relationship, but we’ve decided to work it out, and he’s getting help with recovery. No one ever talked to him about porn, told him the harms of it, or asked him if he had a problem with it, and I was shocked. I feel like there are so many people who don’t even know what it’s doing to their brains or relationships— it’s heartbreaking! They don’t know all of that, let alone know about the world of sexual exploitation in the porn industry. People need and deserve real love! Thank you so so much for spreading awareness!
Your organization is doing so much good. You are giving people an outlet who want to get out of the pornography cycle, and educating people who don’t to possibly understand the potential effects that porn can have on the brain and relationships. Also, what I love is that you teach that hope is not lost. Change is always attainable. You can have relationships, you can help others. Thank you again for all the work you do. I remember 5 years ago when you came to my high school and spoke. It has been the only school assembly I remember today. I know that you must receive criticism and opposition to what you do but keep going. You are truly making a difference. Thank you again.
Super thankful to find you guys during recovery. 15 days so far and I feel like I have an entirely new mindset. I’m more calm, focused, clear, and confident than even before. It’s the wildest thing: I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I even got 15 days porn-free in over 13 years. This time it’s for good and I’m not looking back. I have new habits in place and am running straight through this thing!
Hello, Fight the New Drug team. I cried when I saw your Facebook page because it’s been a long journey of trying to give up pornography and I was losing hope in myself. I’m starting to doubt if I can make it, if I can really quit porn. But your page is like a ray of light passing through my heart. It gives me hope. I just want you to know how you are a gift to me and all others who are going through pornography addiction like me right now.
This time, I really wanted to make things right. And I hope I can find my journey to healing with you because this fight is not a single fight, but a continual battle. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the educational posts and awareness you’re spreading! I listen to all of y’all’s content and it has helped me understand far more than ever! Y’all are doing an amazing thing, and on behalf of me and my husband, thank you for opening our eyes!
