A COLLECTION OF GRATITUDE & IMPACT CURATED BY FIGHT THE NEW DRUG
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 your educational videos. They really helped me. I support your mission <3
Keep up the good work! I kicked the habit two years ago and haven't looked back. This is a major issue of our time and I'm glad you are speaking out on it.
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.
FTND changed my life. You can quote me on that if you want, I stand by it!
Thank you for all that you do. Your movement has changed the trajectory of my life and given me many strategies to continue my recovery from pornography and also has informed my girlfriend on how to better support me and understand in difficult times that it was me and not her. The documentary was a great resource, too—we watched it several times.
Oh my goodness, thank you! I’m a recovering victim of sexual abuse by my ex-step father and by reading your posts, I finally realized why he used porn to groom me and how horrible porn is.
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 most enjoyed the hope this documentary gave that my brain can recover from my porn addiction. I’ve read that repeated engagement with porn is like blazing a well-worn path in the brain–a path I wasn’t sure could ever not be frequently walked. But this gave me so much hope. That well-worn path in my brain that’s been blazed by viewing porn can regrow into a field of flowers again, free from the familiarity and grasp of porn. Thank you for this beautiful resource.
I really want to thank you! If it weren’t for you and your amazing resources, I would probably still be miles away from recovery. So, thank you very much from the bottom of my heart!!
Your articles are exactly what I needed today–I shared them with several people. It met a need that I figured wouldn't be met. I will be utilizing these resources. Thank you!
I have almost made it 2 weeks since the last time I watched porn. Sometimes it’s challenging to keep myself away from thoughts and memories, but I want to live the life that many people have been experiencing. I was exposed to porn when I was 6 until now at 22, but I want to be totally free. I want to see people, not to see bodies and shapes. I want to thank every single experience people share with you guys, and thank you for doing this for people. Many thanks for inspiring people around the world.
I work at a huge tech company, and we usually deal with websites that can host pornography. People made jokes about it at first, including my coworkers. I introduced them to FTND and its informational side regarding what porn does to the brain. Anyways, a few days ago, my buddy at work let me know it’s made an impact on him and that he’s going to stop consuming porn. I feel really good about it. It’s hard being a woman in technology (especially because we are outnumbered 4:1) but it’s even harder when objectification of women is something that’s just happening in front of our faces without even knowing the true effects of it on our brain long term. I feel like I bring important things to the table being a lady in tech, and FTND has been a significant thing in my life. I’m spreading it like wildfire. I’m tired of it being the norm.
Outstanding! Just the resource I need as a parent. We will make this a regular resource we use, and will share it with friends! Thank you!
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.
I started following this organization on Instagram a couple of months ago, and I so appreciate your mission, your passion, and your drive! This podcast is so raw and informative. 10/10 would recommend!
