AUGUST CHALLENGE

yeah, an excellent resource thanks mate. I have also read the book 'your brain on porn' by Gary Wilson the author of the website. This one is also good 'the porn trap' by Larry and Wendy Maltz. I am going to quit this time for 2 reasons: 1. Porn has hijacked my sexuality and I have stopped being interested in women 2. I had very good results in my sport and over the last couple of years I have seen a dramatic drop in my performance, I have only realized in recent months that It was due to porn addiction (which I didn't know existed before) which was taking progressively more time out of my life and I wasn't able to train as much as I wanted to. However this is changed now, over the last 3 months that I was trying to quit, I have managed to significantly reduce the time engaging with porn, and now I am not viewing it at all and will do whatever it takes to stay away from it as I want MY LIFE BACK.

Let's go I am in too, I am also on day 7!

 

Alright, I'm going to drop some knowledge in here, some tips to get through the month, somebody's gonna need this:

• Keep a list of things to do - on Wunderlist, iOS reminders, Google Keep, whatever. Whenever I get an idea to do something I jot it down on my phone, so I always have something to do. I mostly put small things like 'Check out thing X' or 'Search for Y topic'. It's these little things that help pass the day.
• If you're like me, you probably have a list of movies/video games/books/albums you want to get through. Well, it's August and you're probably on holiday, so it's a good idea to get through them. Not only it distracts from porn and masturbation, it also gives a morale boost because you're getting things done.
  
• August is also a good time to learn a skill, like playing an instrument, coding in a different language or mastering Photoshop.
• Another thing I'm doing at the moment is working out: not necessarily lifting, but running, doing push-ups, sit ups and squats. There are apps to get started on this. Try meditation too, it's been helping me out. The reason for doing these is that, in addition to their benefits, it gives you discipline, which will help you on your PMO-free journey.
  
• Try gathering a list of reasons as to why you are doing this: it will come in handy when you start feeling urges and will help you keep your eyes on the prize. It might be also more relatable than any quote on the Emergency Button because it's more personal (this is not meant to downplay the use of the Emergency Button but rather to complement it).
  
• If you for some reason start feeling some really strong urges, get away from the computer and start doing something else (like anything mentioned above), go get some air or go do push-ups like 50 cent does.

Feel free to contribute to this list.
