If you have been suck inside for an extended period of time or you have just been surfing the net, then Peers AP invites you to get out into the community and do something great. I am sure by now that you realize that Pornography gives you that slight gratification which goes away soon after you put it away. Psychological studies show that exersice will stabilize the imbalance of chemical associated with Phase I of the “purge”. So we would like you to go out and do something. It doesn’t matter what it is, but find something to do that is physical. Find a lake and walk around it, play basketball, go walking around the mall, or anything that will get your body moving.
Peers AP just recently participated in an internation marathon in Seoul, Korea. It was the most excellent experience with guest speakers and appearances by olympic runners. They had professional athletes come and pump up the crowd and everyone there was just pumped up. The cause was for international peace and the proceeds went to children around the world who are currently living in poverty. There was over 73,ooo dollars that were raised that day and it was just a cool place to be.
Okay, we didn’t run in the marathon event, but we did participate in the 10 kilometer race. We arrived around 700 o’clock in the morning and there was a long line of runners waiting to sign in. It was a sight to see. Peers AP went straight to the front of the line and realized that the line for the 10 kilometer race was really short, so we quickly signed in and we recieved our run numbers and a little microchip that you put on your shoes to make sure you ran the whole thing.
It was kind of weird as we lined up at the start line and the music from pirates of the carribean started playing. I was thinking that if this was a swim meet then I could see it but none-the-less I had tons of adrenaline and it felt great to be doing something for a good cause. Peers AP wants to help the community in good ways, and we hope that you will get involved in doing good things in the community or anything for that matter.
While people tend to have difficulties in the first couple of weeks of trying to beat porn, but if you will get out and put your body to work in physical activities it will take your mind of porn, and that is a promise. So if anyone has ideas for physical activities for those in their first couple of weeks in our program, please post them on our forum. You will be amazed how easy this step is. You don’t have to run in a marathon but physical activities are so good for your health.
We invite you to take a look at our projects and acheivements page and see just how active Peers AP is in the community and peoples lives.
Peace.

It is good to see that you are so dedicated to doing things. I guess the thing with porn is to keep yourself active.

Thanks for what you all are doing. I work for Covenant Eyes, a software company that provides internet accountability for those who want to have a higher standard of integrity. It’s so interesting to talk to so many people who’ve been trapped in addiction before (like myself) and have been set free. Thanks for your helpful posts and information!

Yes, Luke, Thanks for your work on Covenant Eyes. Even though we haven’t used it, it is one of the ones that we like the most because of the idea behind it. It is amazing how much strength you get when you have someone watching.
