July
I've committed myself to staying clean for July.
My fresh start begins here, Day One, July 1.
Here's what I'll be doing:
Staying away from all porn and other sources of temptation.
Not indulging in MB, sexual fantasy, or any remotely sexual activities unless my wife is with me.
Cutting back my online time to three sessions a day (for e-mailing, blogging and visiting the support board) unless specifically required for work.
Getting the hell away from the PC during my lunch break when working at home. This will probably entail physically leaving the house, which can't be a bad side effect anyway.
Resume my reward system of £1 a day, and treat myself to a Buffy or Angel DVD at the end of the month.
As well as all this, I am going to increase my chances of success, I hope, by trying not to think of it in terms of 'avoiding porn', but rather to fill the gap porn has been occupying with more positive things. Especially, my relationship with God, which, to be 'real', will preclude porn use by default. So, in no particular order, I intend to:
Get my prayer life back on track.
Write something.
Read - the Bible, and some quality fiction.
Spend more quality time with my wife.
Deja vu?
