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!

I’ve struggled with porn addiction since age 12. I’m finally choosing to let my shame go. Porn is very prevalent in Icelandic society, but its negative effects are rarely, if ever, discussed. People view it as perfectly normal. Therapists never mention it as an issue, and I’ve never heard an Icelandic person admit they have a problem with porn, so I felt like I was the only one. Hearing personal accounts from FTND and studying the research has been so refreshing, knowing that I am not alone.

In high school, I gave a speech explaining porn stats I got from your website. The teacher told me afterwards she’d learned a lot and wished everyone in school could hear that message. I think people here would agree, but they just don’t know. So I wanted to thank you, especially for your podcast which has been a way for me to be surrounded by light and strength. You reach far outside the US, and have at least one supporter in Iceland. Much love.

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 used the conversation blueprint with my 12-year-old son. So helpful for that first conversation. Can’t wait to show him the documentary.

Really well done. I’d never heard of “supernormal stimulus” before as it’s outlined in “The Brain.” It really helped me understand my struggle better. Thank you!

I was doing some research about breaking the addiction and I stumbled on your videos on YouTube, and they were really helpful and inspiring. Thank you, Fight the New Drug!

I have been struggling with porn addiction for 13 years. I have kinda given up lately, but it was good to hear that my brain really can be normal again.

This is a great resource—we found it amazing and inspiring and will help a lot of people through their process of fighting porn for themselves.

Hearing how it’s an everyday battle when you’re on the road to recovery and freedom from porn is scary, but knowing that you’re not in this alone is helpful. And really just the dreams and aspirations mentioned in the documentary put it all into perspective, that you don’t want this addiction to flood into those areas in your life. Let the battle begin.

I’m almost 90 days free of porn, and I’m beginning to understand how a healthy relationship just wasn’t possible with porn in my life. So, the greatest experience I have is hope.
