    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...

    For a life worth living

    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 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...

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 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 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...

    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...

    Believe in the Process

    I'd rather not make a long reply thread on someone else's journal so I won't go into too much detail here. I will say that my personal choices are what led me into an addiction to pornography and that God has saved me from that addiction. I also learned some important life lessons because of...

    Believe in the Process

    Awesome job Hunter! I can't say enough about 12 step recovery groups, I still attend one that my church hosts every week. There is real power to be healed from the addiction when you live those 12 principles. I agree with your other post about needing a higher power to overcome. The best...

    Day 168 no PMO This is the last day I'll be serving in the temple, which is a place where we do sacred ceremonies in my church. I've been serving once a week ever since mid December. We don't get paid for the work we do but that's okay because we receive many spiritual blessings. God's spirit...

    Day 166 no PMO Just finished jury duty. It was a civil case and I wasn't one of the 12 chosen to be a juror. There were about 45 of us for the one case. I don't mind too much. This was pretty close to when I'm leaving for my mission so I had concerns about it conflicting if the case went on for...
