    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Had succesful sex with wife for 1st time this morning since starting this reboot 39 days ago. I planned to wait a full 90 days for sex but I've had morning wood 3 of the past five days. Since I'm improving in that department I figured the sooner I re-wire to real sex the better. I feel good...

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Not posted in a bit. Made it 20 days & had a 1 night relapse. Today I'm back to 18 days clean & feeling good.

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Day 18. Feeling good. Staying with my cold shower & meditation routine. Keeping myself busy with projects. I'm getting better at picking up on when my brain starts suggesting escape. When that happens, something as simple as closing my eyes, breathing deep and 1-2 minutes of meditation can...

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Just checking in. 2 weeks today. Lots of positives I want to share but I'm short on time. Feeling good. I wish everyone here the best.

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Of course I remember you Leon-now-Phineas. I would like to think everyone else had knocked this thing out and moved on completely in the time since I was here last, but it is nice to see some familiar folks. Thanks for the welcome Fappy. Well, day 12 is almost in the books. I had a...

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Not too bad today. I worked in my lawn and listened to Dr Trish Leigh's podcasts while I worked. Feel good. Think I'll take another cold shower and watch a movie with my kids.

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Woke up and it is day 11. Since being gone I have a lot of yardwork to do today. I subscribed to a couple of new porn addiction podcasts so I plan to give them a listen while I mow. In the past mowing would end up a time that I would willingly let my mind wander.

    Yes I Can!

    Hi Bob, I'm back after a long absence and it is comforting to see a familiar face (so to speak). You were always kind and supportive to me in the past and I want you to know I did and do truly appreciate you. It's good to know you are still hanging in there and I wish you continued...

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Just got home. 9 hour drive. Just noticed I needed to correct my timezone on here. Have some mild anxiety...kind of an uncomfortable nervous energy. It's ok. I knew it was coming and I know it will pass soon enough.

    Today is day 10. Long drive ahead of me today. Time to think can be good or bad.

    Surprise

    Hi Gracie, You may not remember me but you made several encouraging posts on my journal several years ago. I want to thank you for that. I did and do appreciate a lady's take on things...especially one I'm not married to. In coming back it's both good and bad to see familiar names. I would...

    My Journey to Reboot

    I'm back in the early parts of recovery, but I've had some success in the past. Think of meditation as preventative. It's like a brain-muscle you exercise to control your thought process. Make the muscle strong with daily exercise and it will be there when needed. Waiting until you are in the...

    Back in the ring...hoping to go the distance

    Day 9. It's my last day at the beach. It's beautiful here and I'll hate to leave tomorrow. I spent this morning reading through journals including my old one. I can see now that I have a lot of work to do to get anywhere close to where I was before. I'm thankful for the journals of others...

    Getting my life back

    Congratulations on 95. I just read your entire journal and you have me feeling motivated! I am sorry about your family situation, it is always sad when a marriage does not survive...especially when kids are involved. However, your attitude is impressive. Most guys would be focused on blaming...
