Days 22 and 23

Day 22 - I was fine, until I got home. There was much temptation when I started my computer, and I knew it would be hard. I had to send some e-mails for work, but I was quickly distracted by sexy advertisements. I knew I didn't want to blow it. I sent my e-mails, turned off the computer and went straight to bed.

Day 23 - I woke up feeling great that I hadn't fallen yesterday and I feel more recharged than ever. Today has brought no problems, and a late meeting tonight will ensure I'll make it another day. For all of you that are struggling with the same problem, I've been praying for you. Good luck, and God bless!

Days 19, 20, and 21

Day 19 - Busy all day long, no problems!

Day 20 - A little tempation last night, but I didn't think twice about saying no.

Day 21 - Today is the three week mark; a place I haven't been in a while. I've got enough work to do even on a Sunday to keep me busy all day long. My temptations aren't as strong anymore, and I'm feeling good. The next two weeks will prove to be difficult, as I'll be without my wife. I don't have as much to keep me busy during that time either. But the Lord has gotten me this far, He's not giving up on me when I really need Him. He has given me the strength to turn away from temptation. One day, about a week ago, I was tempted to look at topless women; just breasts. But before I did, I got to thinkin' - why is this any better? After my first attempt, I wrote that I didn't even want to lust after other women. I meant it, and I knew I would have failed in my attempt even if I just looked at one picture. I really feel like I'm on the right track here, like God is really speaking to me. He has something great planned for me and I'm not throwing it away to porn. It's only been three weeks - 49 more to go. I have a long road ahead of me, but with God on one side and my wife on the other, I'll reach the end. God bless.

Day 18

Another short post - maybe that's a good thing. After I posted last night, I had another opportunity to fail, but I was able to overcome. I felt God was yelling to me to not give up. For once, I listened. Good luck to others struggling. God bless!

Day 17

Another day without porn and I'm feelin' great! Played tennis for the first time today - I stunk. But I'll get better. It's just another thing to help keep me busy and in shape. Nothing else to say tonight. God bless!

Day 16

I'm busy from now till night with work and other appointments. Even I wanted to, I won't have a chance to fall today. I only got 5 hours of sleep last night, so I'm eager to hit the sack tonight. For the others on this journey with me, keep at it and never give up! God bless.

Day 15

Everything's great today! Had lots to do, and tomorrow will be no different. Work is great! Helps keep my spirits high. A little temptation over lunch, but quickly averted with a call to my lovely wife. Week three, here I come!

Day 14

Two weeks! It's a milestone for me and now my longest posting on this blog. I'm excited to continue this journey. Today was great after a near fall yesterday. I was even home alone all day. I simply didn't give myself the opportunity to be tempted. Anyway, I've got an early start tomorrow, God bless!
