Its Monday and I feel ready for another go at the water fast. Spent the weekend focused on hydrating and I'm psyche'd to get this next phase underway. Sorry for the false start Friday, but Water fasting is tricky and if not done properly can be dangerous. On the PMO front I feel good too, no desire to go back to the old life. Worked hard all weekend on the reno and making good progress. its 9:50am and I'm on my 4th water. 8)
In it to win it.
Thanks Rex, I appreciate the advice and encouragement, it really helps and I know you are right. Looking forward to the day he moves on to the next house, he's been knocking on my door far too long.Rex said:Prodigal son,
You are doing great! Keep remaining vigilant, you'll find in this second 90 day period that it will become second nature to stay clean. I really noticed this in the second 90 day period (3 to 6 month period). The temptations and urges will still be there but they won't have the sting or the pull they once had but they will be different. It's hard to describe, it's kind of like a thief who has stolen from your house by using the front door, after you really secure the front door, the thief wants to keep coming back and robbing the house however the thief then tries to climb on the roof and slip in a second story window, if that doesn't work the theif tries the garage. You'll notice the temptations for PMO will get this way as you get further away from PMO, eventually the thief gives up and goes to another house. As long as you remain vigilant and continue the daily prayer life, you are ready for these temptations and will successful swat them away.
Keep up the great work!

Take this morning, I was cleaning up in the laundry room and suddenly I was remembering a conversation I had with a female coworker, 7 YEARS AGO! This coworker was just my type and the conversation we had was of a sexual nature. Suddenly in mid memory my mind tapped me on the shoulder and asked me, "Why are you thinking about this?". I literally stopped in my tracks, realized if I continued reliving the experience I risked getting worked up and making a mistake, so I stopped it right then. This was cool, the break through I've been praying for, that I'd recognize when my thoughts had taken a wrong turn before I get all worked up and desperate.
