Sorry to hear about this @Freerider. Losing a job and feeling that way can be tough. I'm glad things are good with the wife, and what is more, a year away from porn is truly a hell of a deed.

Day 363 and 2. First Advent. Christmas is almost here. I've been thinking a lot about how addictive thinking can leave control of your life behind. Not being able to do anything when your thoughts are just about wanting sex and not actually getting anything done. It's quite a load of misery.
Day 365 and 4! 
a full year without porn! I am grateful and happy. I am grateful for this group and you guys! I am happy to be here now. big things happen one small change and decision at a time. I hope that the coming year will strengthen my identity without the escape mechanism of masturbation also.
I want to focus on the positive things I do. I want to make my dreams and visions come true more and more every day. They are still drowned under the gray cloak of addiction. I have been in chains. I don't want to be in chains, I want to be free from addiction! Let's take it one day at a time!
Icewater swimming, what a great habit, just did 2minutes!

Really well done, friend! What a great thing to be happy about!
Day 374 and 3. I'm in a whirlwind of emotions. The year-long layoff and other work challenges are turning into unemployment after this week. I thought I had already hit rock bottom, but I'm still falling. As a person, I'm healthier than I was a year ago. Am I freer from addictions? Sure, but it's a long process.
I am not defeated just like that. I grieve but I have hope. I fall but I rise. I fear but I trust. I hurt but I strive to be higher and more authentically myself than where I was before this began.
In the midst of all the shit, I want to find more love for those close to me and learn to love myself too.

Day 375 and 4. a new chapter in life. unemployment. it's one sorrow among others, i feel sadness and a little fear. on the other hand i see opportunities in a new beginning. i have to learn to recover, to work hard. to cope with procrastination. I got my mojo back, but still work to do with intimacy and interaction. Life goes on
