Encouraging Progress since 2012

r/ValhallaChallenge

The Valhalla Challenge is a recovery game that helps people replace pornography use with self-care. We use proven recovery tools, including the wisdom traditions, neuroscience, and gamification. By focusing on the solution rather than the problem, we power ourselves up, change behaviors, and support our community.

##GUIDELINES OF THE VALHALLA CHALLENGE

MISSION

Our overarching goal is to break ourselves of the PMO cycle. We focus on progress, not perfection. We achieve our goal by focusing on solutions and treating ourselves with care and respect.

RULES

Focus on the solution rather than the problem.
Read the Posts in sequence. Start with Day 0 | How To Play. Don’t skip around.
Posting pornographic material or links will result in a ban.
Avoid posting the graphic details of relapse or fetishes. We get it; We’ve all been there.
Avoid mentioning any media (tubes, sites, magazines, etc.) associated with porn.
Avoid politics or religion.
Treat yourself and others with care and respect.

Victories and Setbacks

Post comments about a victories in your life, or about overcoming urges, tempting situations, etc.. These will spur you on to the next win, and will also encourage fellow Vikings.

Reporting a relapse is not required. That being said, if you do have relapse you will want to re-read the Post (Chapter) that contains instructions that you didn't follow. Message the Mods if you want to be put in that level. Staying honest with yourself and this community will get you to Freedom and Valhöll.

If you have difficulty defining a relapse, post questions, and take a look at The Three Circles.
