16 days. continuing to post here and send emails to my wife. going into work after dropping my daughter off at school which has cut~10 hours of opportunity at home every week. going to bed when my wife goes to bed most nights eliminating other hours of opportunity. also much more active than in the past with regular exercise, working at local charities every 1-2 weeks, and coaching my daughter's softball 2x and soon 3x/week. by branching out and growing in new ways, idle time and boredom has reduced. life is good:)

well I made it to 3 weeks without a smidgen of temptation. i am truly committed. i still mb on occasion. but i am able to keep these items completely separate. one does not depend on the other.

Grats on 3 weeks Jrock. What is your longest stretch of sobriety since you knew you were a PA? And how have you changed your methods of fighting this addiction to make it further? I am only asking to help see and support your new game plan! If I am being intrusive, please ignore this post. :|

Open Eyes - all good questions. my longest stretch was ~90 days and that was no porn and no mb. it was earlier this year. so what am I doing differently? well, i send my wife an email every 1-2 days to let her know progress. I go to bed when she does. I've been going to work earlier so I don't have alone time in the morning. I am trying to rekindle romance with my wife. we stayed at a resort last night and had a wonderful time.

My risks are as follows: Work has been more boring than ever and life isn't too exciting either. Boredom has never been good to me. Therefore I have been MBing too much. Good news is that I don't need porn. I need to keep thinking about ways to prevent this and be more proactive than last time.

4 weeks!! cruising along. just got back from a 2 day trip out of town and I had no temptations while in the hotel. this is usually a scenario where I fail badly. will power was good.
