Thanks @Jlied - pumpkin schmumpkin. And another very slightly disturbing GIF from you. “The doctor will see you now, Mr Jlied”.
Going strong on the no MO ride. Determined to see what my state of mind is again when the numbers get really large. Could I push on if I can get to 90? This, for the avoidance of doubt, is not an exercise in showing off, nor is it to gain notoriety and respect. It Is about testing the inner me. I think that’s vital. I know we’re in this together and I just adore this community but we must all be grounded in self awareness and self respecting love. That will be the everlasting trait from our recovering.
All that said, I would not be where I am today without you all. Have a good pornography free weekend.

I suppose like many things when you grow up eating a certain food, it tastes good purely for sentimental reasons. However this year we had many other pumpkin flavored treats and no pumpkin pie… that honestly tasted way better than any pumpkin pie I’ve ever had.
I also have to agree with @Blondie here… Pork pie, steak and liver pie, cheese and onion, chicken and mushroom, mince “meat” pie… the list goes on. There should be some stricter guidelines as far as what the Brit’s are allowed to put in pie.

629 days sober, which I reckon is 101 days shy of two years….
53 days no MO
Healthy fantasy was upon me yesterday. In my head I can’t quite work out if that’s a good thing or not. I won’t be too hard on myself or else this exercise becomes nearly impossible. 53 days is fine. No big change from a few days or weeks ago, so just carrying on.
As for @Galatians51 suggestion….

I could not disagree more. Why regulate pies? We all love ‘em. If they’re bad for us, which they are, then ban them. But to suggest we stifle the productivity of those genius chefs who come up with the filling recipes…..this is piffle. I await your unreserved apology, dear chap.

Tomorrow will mark 8 weeks no ejaculation. Feels good to say that. Basically almost all of October and November without releasing. It’s a mixture of euphoria and agony . My brain can only put it on the back burner for so long. I suppose because of the cold weather there are few tight tops on show, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t something to think about.
Things between us are really great, just there’s no intimacy at all and I am being respectful of the couples therapy process.
Stay cool, guys.

Meanwhile doing fine here. Wife’s family drama has receded. Other dramas have taken their place. Everything good here. Had morning glory today that was extraordinary….and I mean that literally….it wasn’t ordinary, it had extra strength to it above ordinary strength. Impressive but it almost hurt!

Thanks mate. We’re all in this together.
Again, many thanks. The 56 days thing is getting to me….but I am hanging in there.
Lol….I do love pies, but not good for my figure. A moment on your lips, a lifetime on your hips! I think in the old days I could have made that saying into a sexual context!

Pretty sure this is my second longest monk mode streak in about 50 years. It’s strangely manageable. Part doesn’t want it to be manageable then I have a good excuse for release, but I cannot deny the truth: it’s ok.
Things at home are great, therapy together is really good. There is no mention of sex at all. It’s all about ego states and the so-called “OK analysis” . Sounds a bit psychobabble, right? It’s fine. I thought there was increasing sexual tension but honestly I am probably kidding myself. It’s still a waiting game. So I wait.

Thanks @Blondie . It was just lovely. Vilnius is the capital. We just went for two days to spend some me and her time and also hear a concert. Everything was perfect. Snow on the ground. Crisp cold but not a biting wind. Lovely setting. Good hotel. In any other time it would have been sex on wheels but I am very respectful and I just let her do what she wanted. The thing is it feels a bit ridiculous now. And if this is still the alleged “impact” phase then that’s the way it is. It feels like there’s sexual tension, but then again I am not sure I know what sexual tension is any more.
Stay clean guys.
