Day 65
It has been far too long since I last journaled...
In terms of my life it feels more like slow progress than anything else, but it's good to know that the counter is ticking over and that I'm getting ever closer to beating (or at least being in control of) my addiction.
My relationship is still just about intact, but it needs major work to be healthy. There remain a number of issues that need to be resolved, but we haven't discussed them in too much detail in the past week or so.
I'm not happy in my relationship and I'm unsure how much of that is resolvable, how much of that is down to my addiction, or what else. I want to make things better and become a better person.
Work stress still isn't helping. The busy period that I hope would finish at the end of January is still ongoing and is likely to continue for another month or so. Later in the year I need to look at other alternatives, but right now I'm not in a position to mess with the financial stability that my job brings us.
I'm still experiencing cravings and learning how best to deal with them. Every now and then I'll see an athletic woman fitting my 'profile', either in person, online or in the paper (or elsewhere) and it's a struggle to pry my eyes away, but I know that doing so makes my willpower stronger. I need the control that I didn't possess for so long in this area.
I don't know what the future holds at the moment. This year feels like a mess so far, but having this reboot to focus on is giving me hope. I'm going to a workshop on beating pornography addiction soon which should be interesting. I just need to get the rest of my life on track...
