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!
Now at 23, I am thankful to say I have quit porn and have been clean for over 4 months. I have no desire to go back to where to the way I was, and I now have a radically different view of sex—a much more holistic and positive view of sex. FTND played a crucial role in getting to where I am today, and for that, I wanted to say thank you.
I used to struggle a lot with my addiction to pornography. I started exercising after doing a little research on what porn does to your brain. It was devastating. I still fell almost every month, but I want to be completely free, so watching this helps 110%. Thank you so much for making this documentary! You wonderful humans are saving so many lives! Please let me know if I can help or join the cause in any way!
I know you guys probably get hundreds of DMs, but I just wanted to thank the people who run this account. I have struggled with porn since I accidentally came across it on Pinterest (of all the places) when I was 10 years old. My entire childhood/young adulthood has been plagued by the horrible cycle of guilt, shame, resistance, redemption, and inevitable pain again that comes from a life of porn addiction. And it hurts so badly to know that my feelings are nothing compared to those of the people I helped exploit. It’s haunting. On nights that I’m struggling, getting on Instagram and reading your stories gives me the strength to say no. Thank you for helping me in the fight for real love. I fight for the dignity of every person.
Hey! Thanks for this page; it really is helping make a difference in my life. I’ve pretty much struggled with porn most of my life and I never loved it but also never hated it so I just kind of let it go, but after my friend suggested this page to me, I started to see how much porn actually affects my own life and relationships with people. I’ve now developed hate for what porn does and for what it is! So, thank you!
The content that Fight the New Drug presents, both on social media and in live presentations is spot on! It is all presented in a way that doesn’t promote shame, but rather teaches how watching can lead to addictive decisions and it has a harmful influence on people’s brains, relationships, mental health, and motivations. The information given is based on highly esteemed research and they give tons of links and ways to break free of using porn if one desires to do so.
I just wanted to thank you for what you do as an organization. It is remarkable and so necessary. Three years ago, I was addicted to pornography. Like, “watching it three times a day” addicted. The results left me numb. Hopeless. And in a lot of ways, it left me lifeless. I’m glad to say that I’m almost two years removed from pornography and married to the girl of my dreams. And I’m able to help my friends do the same. In part, it’s because of what you guys do. You, among other forms of accountability, helped change my perspective and really fight this toxic influence that was in my life. So thank you for that.
