    As soon as I get enough cash and take the time to go to a big store, I'll be sure to get those books.

    Thanks, man. The encouragement definitely helps. But I just relapsed again. I'm adding blocks like crazy to all of my browsers. I'm trying to figure out what changed between my 58-day streak and now.

    Good luck. Hopefully you've identified your triggers!

    Today, I will shower instead of watching porn. And hopefully shave...

    Today, I'm going to come up with a ritual for every time I get an urge, like taking ten deep breaths, walking outside, or listening to a song. Rituals have helped me build good habits in every other aspect of my life--like work and going to the gym. Hopefully, it makes a difference with my P addiction. I'm also going buy the rest of the Christmas presents this weekend.

    More regular showering might not hurt your social life or work environment. Glad today was a good day.
    How goes the shaving? I started my beard in January, 1979, right after I got my residency papers. Still have it, but the color faded. Never could grow sideburns, so it isn't a full beard, and I still have to shave.

    Wise advice from a wise man...funny how simplistic yet true that is. I *need* to shower once per day -- especially because I work in a dirty work environment!

    Shaving is a no-go at the moment, unfortunately... I am still too lazy!

    I trimmed it slightly a week and a 1/2 ago. Otherwise, haven't done nada to it in almost a month!

    Today instead of watching porn, I got the furnace fixed. It feels so good.
    Tomorrow I get to play Santa at a grade school. It should be healthy fun, passing out candy canes and hugs.

    I could use some encouragement. I relapsed again tonight, even though my girlfriend and I had sex last night and really enjoyed it. Has this ever happened to anyone?

    Tomorrow, instead of watching porn, I'm going to get dinner with my girlfriend and pack my bags for my trip home for Christmas.

    Sorry, man. Here for you. I had sex a little more than a month ago and relapsed to PMO just 4 days later. Sigh!

    Instead of watching porn, I will train hard on martial arts and weight lifting.

    That sounds like a classic chaser effect. After sex, you feel sexier. Amazing. For a few days after sex you have to double your defenses against PMO.
    Hope you enjoy Christmas with your family and come back even stronger.

    Today, I will continue to enjoy holiday time with family, with occasional wall climbing.

    What is the difference between in-laws and outlaws?

    Outlaws are always wanted. :)

    Today, instead of watching porn, I was going to enjoy some family time and watch the Cowboys win. I guess their owner defines winning as not letting anybody get hurt, while letting every player play.
    The important thing is that I am still on the wagon and enjoying the ride.

    I was blessed with a lot of time with grandparents. As I am now aging, it is helping me look forward to a different future that I don't fear.
