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!

Recently, I came across FTND via Pinterest. Within the past few months, I experienced some gut-wrenching changes in my life that were due to my significant other’s porn addiction. I went from thinking porn is OK in small amounts and moderation to thinking it’s toxic and needs to be expelled from one’s life as soon as possible. I want to thank the brave people behind FTND. Thank you for being a loud voice for all those that believe porn is not ok at it TRULY does disrupt and destroy love–I am living proof of that.

I was first introduced to porn at 14. I’m now 19. I’ve been addicted for five years. It’s been an absolute net negative on my life, and I think it’s contributed to some of my anxiety, self-deprecating thoughts, and brash behavior. I’ve wanted to quit for what feels like forever now, but I keep relapsing. It all came to a head today when I couldn’t take it anymore and found your website. I haven’t even finished looking through all the resources yet, but I’m eager to do so, because after watching Jane Doe’s video interview about how she was sex trafficked, I want nothing to do with porn ever again. In fact, I want it as far away from me as possible. I can’t even begin to imagine how awful that poor woman felt. If I had the opportunity to say something to her, I would likely just say how sorry I am. Whoever is reading this, thank you.

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.

I love it! I have a son who struggles with pornography. This movie brought to light clarity on the subject of pornography and that it is a lifelong battle that requires more than just a few therapy sessions. Maybe it was just hopeful thinking that he was probably ‘fine’ at this point. This docuseries made me realize that I need to get my head out of the sand and take a stand and do more than just hope my son is OK. Thank you for that.

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!

Thanks for making this movie. I am 37 and I was in my bubble during these years, suffering the cause and effects of porn. I wanted to talk about this, but I felt ashamed to talk publicly. Porn stole my childhood and my passion for this world. Everything was clouded by porn thoughts, irrespective of relationships. I am a meditation practitioner now and it helps a lot with making me more productive in many areas of my life. But the intensity of porn wiring my brain was huge and I still struggle a lot. I was looking for methods, motivation, and especially information to be helpful for me and finally, I found this documentary series. It’s so enlightening and also makes me feel happy to see the laughing faces at the end of each episode. Thanks again for being such wonderful human beings. Please spread the truth as much as you can, and I will do my part.

I’ve been fighting and losing on my own for so long. Last night I had the courage to write a letter and tell my mom about my struggle. Porn has ruined so much of me and I just wanted to say thanks because your guide on how to talk to a loved one helped me finally make that push and she reacted better than I expected and I think it’ll really help me turn things around
