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!
Fight the New Drug, I want to thank you for absolutely everything. You guys have helped me understand pornography in a new way that I have never seen before. I thought your information was so important that I did a presentation on it and showed my school how detrimental porn actually is to your brain and heart. The project went extremely well, and I was able to show the kids how harmful porn is and how it affects others around you.
Today marks 6 months of freedom from an addiction I had for about 9 years . . . 6 whole months. I didn’t think that would be possible! But I chose to fight, to keep fighting, and still choose to fight (even though it’s tough), and I’ve almost felt the rewiring in my brain!
This freedom has allowed me to love my friends so much more than I ever could before because my heart hasn’t been split between a screen and my friends. I think I’m happier, more content, and better at loving than I was in my early 20’s! Happy happy days.
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!
Being a wife and choosing to fight alongside my husband, who’s celebrating 895 days in recovery, has been the hardest and most rewarding experience of our lives! Through this journey, we’ve celebrated and fought together as accountability partners, best friends, lovers, husband and wife, and now future parents!
We’ve learned so much. First, love can’t be clicked! It’s about real people, real love, and life! It’s about the journey and that we’re stronger fighting together! Also, it’s never going to be easy every day, it might not always be a victory–we are not perfect, and life isn’t perfect. It’s messy but it’s beautiful and it’s so worth it to fight! Consistency, accountability, and knowledge are some huge factors that helped his success along the way. Honestly, we wouldn’t be celebrating here today if it wasn’t for Fight the New Drug. Thank you, thank you, thank you for existing!
Just wanted to say thanks for what you guys do! My husband quit porn 17 months ago and hasn’t gone back since. We really love your page. We got married when I was 19 and he was 23, and he lied about his addiction for a year during our 3 years of marriage. But now he’s free from it, and is happier than ever and makes great choices and our relationship is so much better even though it has been tough. The honesty that has come from it has been amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
We’re usually not ones to spend big amounts of money on clothes, but since my husband is an ex-porn addict, and we are incredibly passionate about this topic we had to make room in our small budget to take this opportunity. We will wear these shirts as often as we can to spark conversation. 100% worth it.
I am really enjoying your posts. I follow them. Keep up the good work of fighting addiction and raising awareness.
Over these last 12 months, I’ve been deeply impacted by your organization. I discovered Fight the New Drug during my research on the harms of porn and can’t begin to express the level of gratitude I have for those of you who created Brain, Heart, World. I know you don’t know me personally, but I want to simply thank you all for your dedication to this fight. Since discovering this film, I have hosted several viewings with friends, and with the men in my local community (about 100 men, ages 18-75). Each viewing is powerful and leaves every person deeply impacted. From my experience, after viewing Brain, Heart, World, conversations about the topic of porn open up. I believe one of the biggest problems surrounding the issue of porn is that no one talks about it. I’m so grateful that more people are opening up about this topic and bringing it out of the shadows! Thanks for everything you do.
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.
I am so grateful for organizations like this one. My previous boyfriend had a severe porn addiction that instilled lies in me that I was not enough. Reading articles of women who have stories similar to mine, and having people committed to ending people’s consumption, I am encouraged by the stand. Thanks so much!
