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!
Hello, Fight the New Drug team. I cried when I saw your Facebook page because it’s been a long journey of trying to give up pornography and I was losing hope in myself. I’m starting to doubt if I can make it, if I can really quit porn. But your page is like a ray of light passing through my heart. It gives me hope. I just want you to know how you are a gift to me and all others who are going through pornography addiction like me right now.
This time, I really wanted to make things right. And I hope I can find my journey to healing with you because this fight is not a single fight, but a continual battle. Thank you.
Love your account!!!! My fiancé has a history with porn addiction, but he’s over 2 years clean!! It’s still a fight, but it’s possible!!!!
My boyfriend eventually broke up with me because after a year of me trying to fight with him, he “just didn’t see my problem with him watching porn.” I’d like to thank your organization, not only for making these articles and trying to educate people on porn’s harms, but also for responding to my personal story when I needed it the most. I’ll keep fighting for love—thank you.
I’m currently struggling with porn addiction. Watching Brain, Heart, World has taught me a lot about myself. I wish this information was widespread and taught to everyone, I never realized how dangerous porn is. Thank you for all the people doing the research and for the people who made this docuseries.
Recently, I was walking down the street in my city, and I heard this couple read my FTND shirt out loud as I walked by. So I turned around and smiled at them and struck up a conversation. They were a married couple, probably in their thirties, and they were just genuinely curious about what an 18-year-old was doing with a shirt like mine on. So I happily shared my whole story about how I was addicted to porn from 5th grade until sophomore year of high school, and how I’ve been walking in freedom since then. I shared about its connection to trafficking and the dangers of shame. It really just ended up being a really cool conversation for all of us!
Dear FTND, I have been FREED from an addiction to pornography, and I want to share my story with you. For the past few years, I have been actively sharing my story about my past struggle with porn and my current life of freedom from the awful addiction. FTND has played a huge part in this, and that’s why I want to share my story with others, because I am a woman who has struggled. Thank you!
Over these last 12 months, I’ve been deeply impacted by your organization. I discovered Fight the New Drug during my research on the harms of porn and can’t begin to express the level of gratitude I have for those of you who created Brain, Heart, World. I know you don’t know me personally, but I want to simply thank you all for your dedication to this fight. Since discovering this film, I have hosted several viewings with friends, and with the men in my local community (about 100 men, ages 18-75). Each viewing is powerful and leaves every person deeply impacted. From my experience, after viewing Brain, Heart, World, conversations about the topic of porn open up. I believe one of the biggest problems surrounding the issue of porn is that no one talks about it. I’m so grateful that more people are opening up about this topic and bringing it out of the shadows! Thanks for everything you do.
I just wanted to share that porn fueled the sexual abuse and assault I experienced as a teen. Thanks to resources like yours, I’ve been able to find healing, peace, and a life after trauma. I just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Someday, no one will suffer like I did and that gives me so much joy.
