    The further and further I get away from my Day 1 post I am able to see that I am stronger than I originally thought, and obviously, that's a good thing. :) After about two weeks, our kitchen, dining room, and hallway remodel is finally done. The brand new carpet has been installed as well. They...

    Gracie- How ya doin' today? Once again, spot on advice and I really appreciate it. As I continue this recovery journey, each day I am able to recognize more boundaries, limitations, and new paths I can implement. I am constantly trying to remember my three-tiered foundation during all of this...

    Hello, my friend... It's always good to hear from someone else who is in the trenches with me. If I read into your post, I think I'm really hearing how important it is to take care of myself first. If I can't or don't do that then I'm no good to anyone and the chance for relapse is even...

    So,... I need some advice. Please and thank you. Right now I am under a lot of stress and pressure. We are currently in the midst of a huge remodel of our current house while building a brand new house about an hour and a half away. My brain is numb from dealing with all of the details, phone...

    Today is another huge milestone for me. Today is Day 60 of Zero PMO. Tonight just might be "ice cream" night. lol A lot of intentional hard work has gone into rejecting the addictive death spiral of porn. I'm so glad that 60 days ago I made a deliberate choice to walk away from it. I've learned...

    I'm thankful for the stress! I think... My wife and I are in the midst of remodeling our current home so we can sell it and move to the new home we are building. Obviously, there is a lot of stress with all the phases of these projects. I think I'm becoming thankful for the stress though. Let...

    Yes! I'm still here. Life has been really busy with all sorts of things and I haven't been able to post as often as I would like. I will continue to post when possible even though the next couple of months are going to be very busy for my wife and me. First things first... a couple of days ago...

    As I reflect back on my PMO addiction, I remember how selfish and closed in I was. Often, it felt like I would crawl into the darkest corner of my room, sitting in the fetal position on the floor with absolutely no hope. I was self-absorbed and at times couldn't wait until I could get alone with...

    That is such great news! I'm sure it's been hard on both of you so this new step the both of you are taking is fantastic. Better yet, you are doing it together. A pivotal verse for me was and is Isaiah 41:10. A journey can only start by taking the first step and the two of you are on the right...

    I am so thankful for this forum and all of the men that have responded to my posts and encouraged me along the way. I have been learning a lot through this journey. For example, back in June, I was under so much stress that I crashed and burned by going on a week-long PMO death spiraling binge...

    Oh, yes. I am still here. Life is going to start getting extremely busy for me over the next several months so I will do my best to keep posting here. Thanks for checking up on me. It really feels good to know someone else is looking out for me.

    So, let me just share that the process works, guys. It really does. If you stick to a plan that you personalize to your own struggle and recovery, be consistent, and stay on the mark, it works. Case in point. for several years my wife and I have not been intimate in any way shape or form...

    Joepanic- And this is why I post things here on RebootNation... I really think your response to both my fears and Gracie's comments are so important and relevant for me in my situation and I greatly appreciate what you have shared. I think the most important thing that really stood out to me...

    Gracie- thanks for your thoughts on this matter. I will definitely take your kind words into consideration. A couple of the things I have to think about is how much stress we are currently under with our current home being remodeled so we can move in the fall along with building a brand new...
