Welcome apprentice! The life of a hero awaits you! All that stands in your way is the dragon of PMO. You may have tried many times to slay him in the past, but here youāll receive training to defeat him at long last!
The king has declared that all dragons throughout the land must be destroyed to save the kingdom from destruction. There will be a great reward for anyone who agrees to train and fight to become a hero.
Many apprentices like yourself have enlisted, looking to earn their weight in gold and be recognised across the country for their achievements as noble dragonslayers.
Equip your sword and shield, and prepare for battle!
NOTE: To join, you choose to commit fully to the rules of the game. If you have significant religious or philosophical differences with the challenge or feel that itās just not for you, best of success to you and no hard feelings for not joining. There are other ways to become PMO-Free. I pray that you will achieve your goals.
PREVIOUS RULES FOR THE HERO'S CHALLENGE
Rules of the Challenge:
- Read all the details of the challenge and commit to its terms.
- You are a HERO! Choose a hero who inspires you which will be your avatar through the challenge - check first to make sure it hasnāt been taken by someone else!
- Come up with 5 strong reasons why you want to quit - 5 ways that the addiction has negatively impacted your life.
- Come up with 5 strong reasons why you want to be free and clean - 5 ways your life will improve as a result of quitting that would not be possible otherwise.
- Use your 5 strong positive reasons to come up with a short but powerful vision statement of what your life will look like without PMO within the next 60-90 days.
- Review your 10 reasons every day.
- Your Sword: Commit to taking a positive action every time you get an urge. Share it here so others can keep you accountable, decide if theyād like to follow the same action, and ask you whether you used the action you decided on.
For example: my action for every urge will be to remind myself that PMO is against the life I want to live, and that Iām moving towards freedom and true happiness.
- For 21 days, practise the method at least 10 times daily, whether you have 10 different urges or not. After 21 days, practice at least 2 times a day. Simply start your practice with Step A and finish with Step D.
- Every time lustful thoughts come to your mind, use the urge method so your mind will think of something positive instead, and focus on your vision.
- Your Shield: Choose positive activities you will engage in whenever youāre feeling negative emotions like stress, anxiety, distress, discomfort, sadness, anger, boredom etc. Possible activities include: listening to good music, dancing, singing, taking some deep breaths, smiling, laughing, reading a good book, watching your favourite movie or a documentary, going for a walk, prayer or meditation, conversation with loved ones, journaling your thoughts etc. No matter what emotions you feel as a result of lifeās struggles, pornography is not the answer. PMO is not an option. If you choose PMO for any reason, the dragon attacks you and youāll have to restart the challenge.
- If you are struggling for any reason, come and share with the group. Donāt go through it alone. Everyone can relate in some way to what youāre going through, and doing so is very likely to save you from a relapse.
- If you see someone struggling, lift their spirits. Help them out, advise them, support them back up again so they can make their way through their troubles and continue their streak.
- Share! Share your progress, your thoughts and insights, your benefits, your struggles, your enthusiasm and praise at other peopleās progress.
- Choose to check-in daily with your report. Anyone who doesnāt check-in within 3 days will be attacked by the dragon, and have to restart without all of their gold.
- Thereās nothing heroic about watching pornography. Regardless of your personal boundaries and your counter, even ājust a peekā will result in an attack from the dragon, and youāll have to restart the challenge.
Your Commitments:
- I choose to believe in myself. I know that I deserve to be free, and Iām willing to do what it takes to make that happen. I will give it my very best. Iām here to add 90 days to my streak.
- I choose to follow the rules and trust the principles of the challenge, even if they seem unusual, to begin with.
- I choose to accept no excuses. I am stronger than every urge. No matter what comes my way or how I feel, I choose to continue being free and clean. No stress, anxiety, distress, boredom, anger, frustration, exhaustion, insomnia or illness will affect my streak.
- I choose to allow only positive thoughts to remain in my mind. I choose not to indulge any sexual thoughts, fantasies or pornographic memories.
- I choose to challenge each urge directly using the method described and choose my positive vision of a better life every time. I look forward to experiencing the power of transformative change.
- I choose to report here whenever Iām struggling and to help others if they need it.
- I choose to put in the work and check-in daily with my progress.

- Your Sword: Use this tried and proven urge-overcoming method whenever you get an urge, taken from Brian Brandenburgās book Power over Pornography: The Proven Solution to Overcoming Pornography Addiction:
- A. Acknowledge the urge immediately by saying to yourself: āI want to view and do.ā (View and do is a more positive way of saying watch pornography and masturbate.)
- B. Accept the urge. āItās normal. Everyone is tempted, it is our actions which count. I donāt need to feel ashamed or guilty for any temptation.ā
- C. Acknowledge your freedom to choose. āI am free to choose. My choice is for this urge only. I am free to choose differently the next time.ā
- D. Choose your vision, picturing it in your mind each time: āI choose my vision where I am happily engaged in the pursuit of my goals, I feel comfortable in my own skin, my confidence has skyrocketed, Iām full of love, peace and joy and I achieve success daily.ā (Example)
- E. For best results, carry a physical piece of paper or card with you and write down the steps A-D, and read the paper/card aloud in your mind each time.
- For 21 days, practise the method at least 10 times daily, whether you have 10 different urges or not. After 21 days, practice at least 2 times a day. Simply start your practice with Step A and finish with Step D.
