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 just want to thank you for continuing to educate and bring awareness to the effects of pornography. In a message I sent you several years ago, I thought my husband had been without porn for many years only to find out later that he had not stopped his porn use, just kept it quiet. I feel that I would have left this marriage or be in the process had it not been for the amazing articles you continue to post about how porn affects the mind, etc. Your efforts to fight this drug are paying off and you have saved my marriage and I’m sure many others because of it. My husband may still be in the throes of his addiction but he is fighting. I will be here by his side as he fights, wielding my own sword. True love is worth fighting for. Thanks again.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the information that this organization is doing against the fight against pornography. I’ve been a porn addict since the age of 9, and am now truly fighting against my addiction 20 years later, through therapy and coaching. Thank you for bringing the awareness of how harmful pornography can be and the dangers of it all. I wish I had this when I was younger before I got engulfed through my addiction.
Dear FTND. Today I’ve reached a whole year of freedom from porn, and it is a meaningful day for me since I struggled with impulsive porn consumption for a significant amount of time in my teen years. Throughout this year I’ve experienced an improvement in my well being and in my self esteem and just in my overall life quality. And honestly I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do it without your articles and your podcast and your three part series Brain Heart World. Fight the New Drug was like a mentor for me since I came across your webpage at December 2023. So I just want to say a very big thanks to you for doing all the work you do and doing it so good. You are the best.
I am a happy young man now. Since taking the #NoPornovember challenge last year, I have been able to stay two months without a click on pornography. The start wasn’t easy but I am a better person now. Without porn, I have become more confident than I used to be. I don’t have a love life, but I am now a free person. It was always stressful to be a prisoner of pornography but Fight the New Drug has been very helpful. I am not ashamed anymore to talk about porn addiction and its effects and emptiness.
Thanks for your work, guys. The beginning of the pandemic was rough for me—I really struggled with pornography. I was doing research about it and came to your Instagram page, which led me to the podcast. I listened to like two episodes and, no word of a lie, I haven’t watched porn in at least eight months now. I can’t do it on my own, so finding your podcast was amazing. Thanks, guys.
I believe that podcasts and organizations like this are just what we need. Porn has become such a prevalent issue in our society today, and being able to have challenging conversations and ones that might seem a bit awkward at first is exactly what we need to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and focus instead on emotional healing and prevention from the damaging effects that porn can have.
