    It didn't take long for me to fall throughout lent but I'm going to try going 50 days between Easter and Pentecost.
    I've been able to stay away from p for few weeks but I have given into m a few times so I'm trying to keep away from p as number 1 goal but I'll still try to stay away from m

    I've had one of the busiest weeks this week so I haven't had time to post here but also haven't had much time to think about PMO either so there's meaning in being busy.
    I also had a day that not much was going right but for some reason, I felt great at the end of the day. I don't know if it was the great weather or the fact I was working with my dad but I place all the glory on God who controls absolutely everything with His perfect sovereignty

    For some reason, I woke up at 2:00am and can't get back to sleep. I've tried reading but it just makes me yawn a few times. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to sleep but if not, I'll stay away from my phone
     
  4. How did it go?

    It went okay. I read for a bit, did some devotions and did dishes then was busy for most of the day

  11. This is just the habit you have gotten into. There is nothing that says you must M in this scenario. You can choose not to.

    I need to get up when temptation comes but sometimes I'm too tired to get up but not tired enough to fall asleep
     
  13. Then start to pray when it happens

    I slept quite well last night. I had a few temptations earlier on but went for a walk and that helped me sleep

    Tuesday's can be a bit of a late night since I have my barbershop chorus in the evening and it finishes at 10pm so I'm a bit tired this morning

    Thinking about @TaoJones comment regarding habits, I remembered this quote:

    Automatic Behaviors
    "We acquired the bad habits only because we gave ground to them by a consent of will until they became automatic and perhaps even unconscious. To master them we must reverse the process and use the will to break their automatic functioning." - Archbishop Fulton Sheen

    I am living proof of both sides of this statement. My hunting and subsequent lust had become automatic. I need God to fight my temptations but I also need to will an unbroken habit of turning away from temptation.

    I've been feeling really happy recently. I'm not sure if it's that I'm doing online counseling or that I've gone quite a while without p but I'm feeling really positive. Today's sermon was inspiring too and it was about sexual immorality and how to stay away from it

    I had a great counseling session today. We spent quite a bit of it talking about the Bible and what each of our beliefs were

    I had a talk with my wife about how this addiction can bring a rift into our relationship but our wedding passage came up on a devotional (a cord of three strands is not easily broken) and we both agreed that the the third strand in our relationship is God and He will keep us together

    You may enjoy reading "Three to Get Married" by Fulton Sheen. I have not yet read the book myself but I have read other things by this author and I think he is a true genius and a devout Christian.
