Day 22: One more week down. I will continue striving to improve my will by small increments. This is a marathon. It is not a sprint. Slow and steady. |

Day 15: Had a breakthrough this week. I was able to resist when I was sure I already decided that I was going to cave. I realized that I don't need to out so much stock in my feelings. I am bound to experience them but I do not have to act on them. I have a choice. When a powerful feeling of temptation overcomes you and you choose to act against it that feeling actually dies on the vine. This was a powerful realization for me. |

Day 7: Made it one week. Week 2 will be much harder. More time alone means more opportunities to screw up. I have to keep my guard up and take positive action when I am tempted. |

Day 3: I made it through the weekend. Of course this was no great accomplishment because Sarah was home the whole time. I had plenty to keep me busy since she was sick. The challenges will mount the more I am home by myself. I have not found a substitute routine that provides the release of tension and excitement that porn does. So until I discover or think of one I will rely on counter strategies that get me away from the computer. As a substitute activity I have decided on several options, listed in order based on which I will try first. 1. Go the the library across the street and hang out. 2. Take a walk down the block or around the neighborhood. 3. Walk to Wellesley books and snoop around. Bring money. |
