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!
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!!
I’m happy to see FTND fighting the shame and stigma that gets in the way of people getting help. The first few years of my addiction counseling with a therapist were focused entirely on dismantling the deep-rooted shame built up by myself and others. Porn addiction is a cycle fueled by shame, and though I know people’s intentions are good, people need to know that when they tell people they are shameful for struggling, they are part of the problem. Thanks, FTND, for publicly stating this.
Hello! I just wanted to say how much Fight the New Drug has helped me, I love all of the posts and podcasts. Although I personally don’t consume pornography, my ex partner had a secret porn addiction and I experienced immense pain being the betrayed partner. I learned how damaging porn can be for relationships and love. To try to process everything and try to heal from betrayal trauma initially, one thing that helped me was expressing my pain through art. I made this drawing and wanted to share with Fightthenewdrug to express how porn addiction harms relationships. Thank you so much!
As a 36-year-old man, I have been habitually binging porn for most of my life. I can’t overturn the contribution I have made to its demand, but I’d like you to know that your message is true and needs to be so much louder. I’m trying to make this year about health, and I’m abstaining from pornography from now on with great incentive from the stories FTND has publicized. Porn is really the last unaddressed problem in my life, and it may have been standing between me and meaningful relationships this whole time.
No amount of money will balance the books of my consumption, but if it helps to amplify the signal for others and hopefully break the habit for others, then it’s well spent.
I’ve watched this documentary twice, once on my own and then with my fiancé, as he would always dismiss my views and alienate me for not accepting his use of porn. After he watched the first part, he asked me if there was more to watch, and he watched the rest saying that it was a real eye-opener and that when our children are old enough, we will watch the documentary with them.
Hi! I just want to say that I’m really glad to have bumped into this organization on Instagram. It has helped me understand so much about the negative effects of porn and the reality of the industry. Although I don’t have an addiction to porn, I used to watch it. I think educating myself on the topic made me so aware of the negative aspects of the industry. I think I feel shame from unknowingly giving support to something that has so much correlation to horrible situations people face, but I’m just glad that is something that I have pushed myself to combat. Thank you so much for your platform and for bringing awareness; it is very much needed! I appreciate it so much and keep doing what you are doing, FTND!
