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!

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to me. I feel much more prepared and confident for having conversations about porn. There are some really helpful points in all of your articles. I really appreciate it!

Excellent! I am so happy that this is being discussed and brought to light in such a productive way. As an educator, I have seen the impact of pornography on younger and younger kids, and it’s heartbreaking. You are making a difference through raising awareness!

I am not typically a person to listen to podcasts, but this is such an important topic. This is such educational and preventative information to help those who haven’t dealt with this (such as myself) in better helping us to understand the impact that this issue has on our generation. This information also helps those of us who haven’t dealt with these issues to be better equipped to help those who do struggle with pornography, etc. Everyone should listen in and they should educate themselves, or find help!

What you’re doing is so essential to help people engage in healthy, lasting relationships. My marriage was deeply affected by porn. Everything you say is true, I witnessed it firsthand. Once the ‘secret’ was out we were finally able to address all the problems porn caused and it has been a years-long process. As a wife, it’s utterly gut-wrenching to find out your partner was betraying your trust and destroying intimacy in your marriage by using porn. My husband became withdrawn, uninterested in me, irritable, and his behavior completely changed. He was doing a multitude of other things that were destructive to himself and our relationship. Deception became normal, and more extreme behaviors became OK. Our marriage was robbed of true love and intimacy by porn. My husband has so much more awareness now. He’s at a local Fight the New Drug presentation with our sons right now! Thanks for everything you’re doing!

First, whoever you are, let me express my appreciation for this organization coming into existence. A science-based, non-religious movement is the approach called for. It never occurred to me that I was addicted to porn until I came across FTND videos on YouTube. It prompted me to say out loud to myself and later to a friend that I am a recovering porn addict, and let me tell you, it was a relief! I’ve been "on the wagon" for three months, and I want to stay on it for the rest of my life.

Y’all give me hope for my brothers and sisters who are struggling. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

It feels great to contribute to something that’s helped me so much. When I discovered this amazing organization, I was really addicted to porn but wanted to quit. I ruined my relationship with my girlfriend at the time and pushed a lot of people away. Through FTND, I was able to conquer my addiction. I happened to stumble upon this website from a Google search. I’ll freely admit that when I first realized/discovered your site’s purpose, I immediately thought to myself, ‘It’s another one of those self-righteous “porn is bad” groups trying to tell people how to live.’ But once I read through your mission page, it became obvious that I was wrong. I’m actually very impressed by your goals that are the literal opposite of every other anti-porn group I’ve come across. Your stance of helping those who ask for it and respecting the freedoms of those who choose not to is extremely refreshing to see. I wish you luck!

I love that Brain, Heart, World wasn’t shaming. It was an informative video and was entertaining for our teenager, too.

Hi! I came across one of your articles and it has changed my perspective. I want to thank whoever wrote this article I found about how not all men watch porn. I have struggled with my partner watching porn in every relationship I’ve had. Up until recently, I found someone who honors me, and says he will never do that, etc. To be honest, I thought it was impossible, and have been feeling so unsettled because of this ridiculous fear. But finding this website changed my outlook knowing it IS possible. Not ALL men watch it. So, thank you, whoever you are.

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.

Incredible. A phenomenal, heart-wrenching look at the suffering and destruction porn brings to our lives—and the beauty that lies in life that we can experience when we break free. Thank you.

Keep up the good work. You are doing great work raising awareness.

The documentary was captivating. I enjoyed how it not only gave scientific data on the harmful effects of pornography but also ended with hope for those entrenched in this epidemic.

Hi, I struggled with pornography for over half of my life, and the past two months, I have been taking real steps to rid my life of the scourge it is. I love the message of your platform and it has been really helping me through this struggle.

Hello, Fight the New Drug. I’ve been following your page and content for a while now. I think your content is really great and has helped me learn more about my habit of compulsive behavior toward porn. Shame was really taking a big toll on my mental health, but after I got to hear what others have gone through and hearing they gained confidence over time, I’ve been really inspired. Thank you, and continue the great work.

How to say it…you saved me tonight. I watched your documentary series with my partner and you explained everything I needed to say but couldn’t find the right words. Thank you.

We love your organization and the content you put out! Thank you! We did a private movie screening at a theater of Brain, Heart, World about 2 years ago, and it was so impactful!!!

I was impacted by this. I have been struggling with porn for almost 15 years. Watching this really gave me hope that I can and I will recover, so that I can live my life to fullest without negative feelings dragging me down.

Brain, Heart, World is so good, and I am glad someone is approaching this from a non-religious and science-based direction.
