Day 29

Tomorrow will be 30 days. I'm feeling great about this. I've been somewhat tempted recently, not so much to look at porn, but to look at "racy" pictures of attractive women. I'm trying my best to resist, and succeeding for the moment. I know there is nothing inherently wrong with this, but I don't want to start going in the wrong direction after almost a month of solid hard work. This past weekend was good. Had some fun with some friends, and the rest was pretty mundane. Work has been keeping me busy, which is always good. I've been doing better at not only taking control of my actions, but my thoughts as well. I found that in the past I might have stopped looking at porn for a season, but if I was still having ill thoughts then what was it worth? I need to keep a pure mind and a pure heart. I need to have thoughts for my wife and her alone. By the end of this week I will have reached 1/3 of my goal, which is huge. I'm inching closer and closer to freedom with each day. I hope you are too, and if not, then today's always a good day to start. Stay strong.

Wow. Reading your blog is like reading my own story. It is crazy. I have made several attempts to quit in the past, just like yourself, and for the same reasons, god, wife, kids, etc... but i always fall, the same way, looking at racy pictures late at night after playing video games etc... Reading your blog inspires me to give it a try. Don't give up, I am pulling for you. I should start one of these blogs, it might help me. Stay strong. Good luck

Having an online blog definitely helps man. Not only by giving a little bit of accountability, but by getting things off your chest, and connecting with people who are in the same situation. I don't think I've done quite as well with my attempts as I've done while writing this blog. Now's a good a time as any to start. I hope you stay strong as well.
