About LinkBacksIt's been about two years since I've looked at P. This is a huge accomplishment for me personally and I haven't given into any urges.

That is AWESOME!
Congratulations mate! Keep up the amazing work!
Best wishes,
BenThe world is in a constant conspiracy against the brave. It's the age-old struggle: the roar of the crowd on the one side, and the voice of your conscience on the other. - Douglas MacArthur
"'Thou mayest rule over sin,' Lee. That's it. I do not believe all men are destroyed. I can name you a dozen who were not, and they are the ones the world lives by. It is true of battles - only the winners are remembered. Surely most men are destroyed, but there are others who like pillars of fire guide frightened men through the darkness. 'Thou mayest!' What glory! It is true that we are weak and sick and quarrelsome, but if that is all we ever were we would, millenniums ago, have disappeared from the face of the earth. A few remnants of fossilised jawbone, some broken teeth in a strata of limestone, would be the only mark man would have left of his existance in the world. But the choice, Lee, the choice of winning!" - East of Eden by John Steinbeck

Thanks for the post and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! It is so inspirational to hear from folks like yourself that this addiction CAN be beat!!!. Once you initially quit, was it easy for the last 1.5 years to stay away? Did you still have occasional urges? Did you ever come close to messing up?
Thanks.

Yeah I still have urges and I haven't come close to messing up because the computers I use have parental controls set on them. The closest would be at Barnes and Noble and I didn't go near the magazine section! Originally Posted by jrock123

yorkie,
Its so nice to see that once you decide to quit, you can! Congratulations and here's to doubling your time clean!TTF- The suckiest place to have to be but the best place to be if you have to be somewhere like this.
Its hard to quit something when you just like it so much. I have that problem with ice cream, but I can run off ice cream. Can you run off P?

Yorkie Owner,
Fabulous news!
Thank you for checking in and showing the collective here at TTF that "IT" can be DONE!, it is realistic, the problem doesn't 'disappear' but you can deal with it, and long-term success is very possible.
It also sounds like you have guard rails in place (parental controls) that even if you did feel weak on a particular moment -you have a safety net in place to catch you.
Well done!
