15 days clean and doing good me and my wife are planing for our new addition to our family and trying to move and it has been pretty stressful not knowing where we where going to go and not living where we need 15 deadbolts and iron rod windows lol. it was really woring me and today we finally found a place we think is going to work. that was a huge releif for me. i have been putting my stress energy into cleaning and studing for these past to weeks and my wife is impressed. i used to look at p and just lose track of time i would even tell my self i would only spend 1 hour looking and then i would find somthing else next thing you know its been 4 hours and i accomplished nothing and i would not feel good about myself and it was a clycle. i am breaking that cycle and it feels so good. i love this place to share my succsess stories and my fears. THANK YOU EVERY ONE WHO POSTS!!!!!

sweet. Great job on the 2 weeks thing. thats a huge accomplishment. I remember back when I hit the 2 week mark. I had never gone 2 weeks without porn and masturbation (I only include masturbation because that goes along with my beliefs, if you don't thats fine). I remember that I had already started to feel more and more strength against the addiction and I already was starting to feel hope inside. something I hadn't felt in a long time. anyways, Congratulations, keep up the good work. And good luck with finding the right house. I hope that all works out for you guys.
Trueself: 15 days is great! And congratulations on finding a new place to live. I've been in exactly your place: telling yourself only 1 hour, and that 1 hour turns into 4 hours. I've also drawn other lines in the sand: only the free stuff (but I end up paying LOTS of money) or only the softcore (but I end up looking at everything). It's great you are doing the cleaning and studying instead. I have an opposite reaction, though: I've been trying to lose 20 lbs for a year, but since I stopped looking at porn I've actually gained 10 lbs! So, I guess the upshot is that, I'm really glad your decision has resulted in benefits, but even if you hadn't gotten cleaning and studying done, just giving up the addiction is a great thing, right? Good luck!!
And congratulations from me, too, on both being free of porn for two weeks, and finding a new (and nice) place to live
