Day 70

Happy Easter to you and happy ten weeks without porn to me!

Today I had an interesting feeling. I knew my wife was away for a few hours and I was watching TV. I decided I wanted to check my e-mail, but I knew that if I got my computer out with my wife gone, I might fall into temptation. I waited until my wife called to tell me she was on her way home (she's predictable like that) to turn on my computer. I knew that I wouldn't want to risk not having enough time. By the time my wife called, I had forgotten about my lustful desires - no problem at all! I'm finally learning how to deal with my temptation to the point where I can avoid chances for temptation to be present. Praise God!

As for you, keep it up! I know several of you are already doing well. But for you that are struggling, you CAN do it! Keep trying, keep praying - God will take care of you.

Days 63-69

Well, at least I'm posting weekly. This week has been crazy busy and the next two should be as well - one of those I won't even have internet access. It's pretty exciting to think that tomorrow will be ten weeks! I'm still a long way from my goal, but I didn't think I'd make it this far on only my third attempt since starting this blog. I have tried everything else, but this is the first thing that has really worked for me. It's a beautiful day outside, so I'm going on a walk with my wife. Keep up your fight - you CAN do it!

God bless.

Days 52 through 62

Wow, it's been a while. I have had several temptations lately, but I have listened to God's voice and found His way out. My release is often video games - Madden, Midnight Club, whatever - but it is sometimes exercise (I need lots of that!), sometimes music, sometimes just calling my wife and letting her know I love her.

I have figured out why this blog has led to more success than I've had in the past. Besides your support and prayers, I'm a competitive guy and I've been competing with myself to see how long I can make my streak. Unfortunately, that means that when I've met my goal, I could easily say, "The game is over" and fall back into my addiction. This is why I've set my goal so long. I'm determined to beat this thing. My prayers are with all of you who are struggling. Never quit trying, never quit pressing forward. I have found success so far, but I'm not done and I never will be. Keep up your hard work. God bless.
