Needed this so much. Thank you for the motivation to start with the fight.

I’ve never heard so much information about porn. I’ve searched a lot of websites but none of them were as descriptive and detailed as yours. More so, having people share their experiences gives me so much hope.
I finally told my parents about my porn addiction last night. It had made me depressed and antisocial because I felt like nobody could love me. I thought my parents were going to be disappointed or angry with me, but they were actually really proud of me for coming to them. They didn’t make me feel bad about myself, and were completely loving and understanding. Now we do a weekly phone audit, so they look through my phone and I look through their phones with complete trust. I’m so happy now that I’ve told someone. It was completely consuming me, but it was like a virus that wouldn’t stop. In the end, I couldn’t forgive myself until I told someone and accepted that I had a problem. Thank you for being a source that people like me can come to and feel loved.
This is SO needed, thank you guys for being so clear and true to the subject. It’s something that too many people keep as a secret and you guys help us get out of it.
I resonated with this docuseries so much. The world needs this so badly. Thank you for your hard work and for speaking out!
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.
Porn really messed me up. I used to be focused on my goals as a student, and I connected well with my peers, but all of that went wrong after viewing porn and getting hooked. I’ve lost my self-esteem, I don’t socialize, and I am always so lonely. Every time I go without porn for some time, I regain energy, but I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve relapsed. I’m not giving up though, I’ll keep up the fight.
We loved Brain, Heart, World! It was funny as well as extremely informative. So glad I could show that to my kids. Thanks!
I literally love Fight the New Drug!! It honestly inspires me so much and helps me help others because it really keeps things real. I can now have real conversations with loved ones about this topic and really help them consider before consuming.
I just wanted to show my gratitude for this page. I have struggled for many years. I am on my first week of no porn for the first time in 7-8 years. I am in awe of the difference it is making in my life. The heaviness and shame are gone and I am so much happier. Keep exposing the fallacies that are surrounded by porn and do not quit telling the truth!
I have been giving a monthly donation to an anti-trafficking organization for many years. This past month, I have felt so strongly that one of the more profound ways I can help stop human trafficking is by fighting the porn industry. Thank you for making it so easy for me to do, just by donating to your organization. I first agreed to donate $50/month, but after I got to the payment page, I knew I had to go back and pledge $100/month. Don’t give up the fight!
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.
Y’all do such great work which has allowed me to see porn and those who use it in a healthier way. I used to be so judgemental against those who use it; now I have empathy for them and understand there is so much more to it, addictions, etc. Your site has aided me in staying in a marriage of 30 years where I recently discovered secret porn use that my spouse was engaged in for years. Without your expert articles and deep understanding on both sides of porn, I’m not sure if I would have made it through this sad discovery and stayed in the marriage. Thanks for causing a good ripple in the world! Keep it going!
Thank you so much for what you do! This organization has really opened my eyes to the harmful effects of porn. The Brain, Heart, World documentary along with the social media posts and online articles have been especially enlightening and impactful for me. Thanks to FTND, I feel I can spread this important information in more accessible ways such as through social media or through wearing your gear. My passion to end exploitation, specifically human trafficking, led me to your organization a few years ago, and I’m so glad I found it. I truly appreciate the work that you do.
Today marks 6 months of freedom from an addiction I had for about 9 years . . . 6 whole months. I didn’t think that would be possible! But I chose to fight, to keep fighting, and still choose to fight (even though it’s tough), and I’ve almost felt the rewiring in my brain!<br>This freedom has allowed me to love my friends so much more than I ever could before because my heart hasn’t been split between a screen and my friends. I think I’m happier, more content, and better at loving than I was in my early 20’s! Happy happy days.
I’ve been helping my boyfriend fight pornography every day for the two years we have been dating. This podcast keeps me going and gives me hope for the future.
I love the variety of content in these podcasts. I definitely think it provides valuable information to help people make an informed decision regarding pornography. Excellent quality and engaging interviews!
I (female) was exposed to pornography at a very early age. It definitely warped my understanding of sexuality and intimacy in ways I’m only just realising now (20+ years on).
I agree with the podcast host that the effects of pornography do not discriminate and I am grateful for this channel and its resources. They are helping me unpack how that young exposure fuelled some of my dysfunctional behaviour as I got older.
Thanks everyone at FTND
I recently took my brother’s grad photos and he wanted to wear his favorite FTND shirt during the shoot. I just thought it was really neat and wanted to thank y’all for improving his life drastically.
I watched Brain, Heart, World, this weekend and it’s a must-see. The explanation of porn’s effects on your brain, relationships, and the world caught my eye because the message never centered on whether porn is “good” or “bad,” but rather was based on scientific evidence. It was approachable for young minds. I was quickly hooked, playing one episode after another. Mixing personal stories with professional perspectives was an effective way to show how a consumer’s brain changes when exposed to porn, and the ways can alter our personality, preferences, and approach to life.<br>What I liked the most was the hopeful tone of the documentary. Despite showing terrible effects and heartbreaking stories, it sends an optimistic message, addressing directly people who may be trapped in porn consumption and giving them information as to where to turn for help.
