Day 185 no PMO Had an awesome time at my sister's wedding. I'm super grateful that I was able to be there for her before leaving on my mission. I'll be starting my online training tomorrow for my mission. Sadly I won't be able to continue posting journal updates while on my mission so this...

Dallin H. Oaks is a member of my church! Whenever he talks you can tell how wise and kind he is. That's a great quote, I haven't heard it before.

Day 182 no PMO Spent time with my sister today.

Day 181 no PMO

Day 180 no PMO Six months, half a year, 90 days x 2... Crazy man. I didn't think this was going to happen this year. Life is so much much better for me right now, even better than before I became addicted to PMO. I attended my last addiction recovery group Sunday. I'll say here what I said in...

Day 179 no PMO Super busy preparing the final things for my mission and attending my sister's wedding this week. I start online training for my mission in 1 week and I'll be flying to Oregon for the wedding Wednesday through Saturday. My life has become much more meaningful in general without...

Day 178 no PMO I was able to have a really cool experience with a friend of my older brothers. He grew up hanging out with my 3 brothers and I knew him pretty well but haven't spent much time with him for a while. He jumped on Discord the other night since I was playing video games with my...

Day 177 no PMO

Day 176 no PMO Staying clean. I'm in a weird spot where I'm just waiting to start my mission stuff but it's in 10 days. One thing I don't want to do is get bored and lapse this close to going out. I'll stay busy by reading and spending time with family. I'll also spend less time on the internet...

Day 174 no PMO I had the opportunity to go teach with some missionaries serving in my area today. We went to talk to someone they've been teaching for a while. I found out that he is struggling with an addiction to alcohol. We started to talk about faith in Jesus Christ and how vital it is to...

Day 173 no PMO Whoops, got busy yesterday with mission stuff and didn't post. I'll be flying from Texas to Utah for training on the 21st of August, so it's coming up quick.

Day 171 no PMO I taught the youth in my church today like I posted about earlier this week. I said most of what I wanted to, even though I went over my allotted time and had to skip some things I prepared. I worry about the youth of the future a lot. It seems like the world is only getting...

How are things going @FiveFortyFour?

Day 170 no PMO Had a good Saturday spending time with my Mom. We were out shopping for more mission stuff, as we've been doing every weekend for the past month or so. It's actually been a good bonding experience to spend time together every weekend. This longer period of abstinence has also...

Day 169 no PMO I've been asked to help teach the youth in my church this Sunday about repentance and what to do when we stumble or have setbacks. I am well acquainted with this topic since I was "repenting" for about 4 years with my bishop and had constant "setbacks" or relapses. I'm hoping to...
