    I came across this page as I was browsing the forums. Even though I’m not terribly fond of the new TV series, I do wish to join this challenge. I haven’t been a hobbit (15 days) in at least 6 months. I’ve forgotten what it’s like to have a good streak. With your help, I hope to get there.

    I slipped up, relapsed once again. More annoyed this time as it was easily avoided, I simply lacked the willpower to stop myself.

    I’m taking myself back to the gym tomorrow, and we’re starting again.

    Haha It was part of the plan. I got an android phone because Covenant eyes works a lot better on android. Thank you very much.

    Thank you. It was relieving actually. I bought and android phone because covenant eyes works a lot better on them. I had to give my vr headset controllers to a friend. Need a year of sobriety before I am going to get those back.

    That app sounds so familiar. Maybe I heard from CBN. Oh well, I have an Android phone and if I wanted to I can PMO on there as well. Well I don't use it there as much but that is where I do use my VR Porn app there with the websites with my purchased scenes on there with my Google cardboard VR headset. But I have no urges. So I deleted the Porn app on my phone as well. Besides, I have issues with my phone right now. Old & slow to be exact. I need a new phone one regardless. But asides from that, I have bought a VR headset stand alone, which was a lot better than my Android phone. Better to PMO over there because it is new and fast...lol. TBH, I think that was main hitting point of me buying it lol. Kind of like my own portable PC in a way. Seems pretty cool though but it can be addicting (not just use of PMO). Again for my phone for VR Porn use, I have no urges so I'm fine.

    That is an interesting strategy, just give it to the friend.
    Even on a Android phone, you can still do the deed. Be careful now.

    Yeah. I have to Uninstal covenant eyes to do the deed and it will email my accountability partner that I have done so.

    So if you delete Covenant Eyes then most likely you will PMO? You pay for using that app right?

    I have my thoughts about the eyes to say but I will tell that in my testimony once I succeed on my goals here. Again be careful not to slip there. Having a phone is important for me especially since I need it for call & text. But for the use of PMO. You can't just throw that away just like the VR headset (If you decide to). I don't know how to get around that. All I can say if you have a Porn app on your Andriod phone then just delete it. That is all because I don't use my phone as often but only call and text. I can't even text often because my phone is full though. Any way, that is all I can say about that.

    Yes. I pay for covenant eyes. It filters porn, has an ai that captured screen shots that it sends to my accountability partner and it will email my accountability partner if I Uninstal it. Its about the best I can do. Here's to hoping it is enough.

    There also one last thing I came across in youtube ad but it was on my TV. I couldn't click on it to share it with you. It was regarding Pornography addiction help as well. Well, I will share that with you later if I get that ad again on PC.
     
  15. Day 6 complete!

    Short post from me tonight, running out of time. Got all my homework done and spent a while chatting with classmates, though, so it was time well spent.

    Our Lady of Victory, pray for us!

    Day 3 complete

    I was busy today, only had a chance to slip in the morning, but didn't. I am doing the rest of my routine well, except for working out. Cold shower in the morning, less candy during the day, read one letter of Seneca, in bed before 11pm. And I performed quite well in work, so I feel back on track.

    Reset again. It was the chaser, but also the opportunity. In the early days of a streak I'm too weak to resist when I'm home alone.

    Whew! Day six and seven complete, and I can already feel this helping me. I just had some of the best intimate time with my wife that I’ve had in years (I’m not on monk mode, obviously). I couldn’t believe it! SHE couldn’t believe it.

    On to day 8. Thanks, guys!
