A big thank you to Moh1990 for his update message. It is a massive boost for us all to hear of other struggles and recognise just how much we need to break the isolation of addiction. WE ARE NOT ALONE…UNLESS WE CHOSE IT. So, well done if like me you have completed the 40 Day […]
Day 40 – So what Now? Read More »
Hi James Sorry about the late reply. Work has been crazy. I’m just emailing to give you a status update. I’ve recently invested in Covenant Eyes and have gotten one of my close friends to be an ally. I find it helps quite a bit. Taking away the main source of temptation by making myself

It may sound disgusting and it may not be an appealing tagline…but it fits!! Covenant Eyes clearly have this metaphor right in today’s challenge. Pornography is most definitely revolting and yet we enjoy it despite the obvious displeasure it creates. I need not say more. Next time you thing about pornography just picture your pet

‘For many people, once pornography sinks its hooks into us, we forever feel the draw of it. It is like a compulsion, a disease in our blood that never seems to go away.’
Day 37 – Rope or Wreck? Read More »
I had to hit the wall before I was finally forced to accept the truth. I lost my job, my reputation and my family and finally I sought spiritual and psychological help.

Day 32 – Stop being alone Read More »
The last couple of days have been relatively calm and normal. I continue to carry out my expected family duties and I make a point of examining my actions each evening before bed. Really quite boring. So how do I continue to stay focused when ‘deep down’ I feel pretty confident that I no longer
Day 30 / 31 – Daily Devotions Read More »
Today is a great day for reflection. It is cloudy outside and cold. So now is a great time to challenge yourself… Many self help groups have a questionnaire to help you recognise your ‘undesirable’ attributes. In catholic circles we much prefer to see these as ‘failings’ in our virtues. 🙂 However you come about
Day 29 – Self Analysis Read More »
A very quick note tonight. Do not be afraid of feeling normal. I often over think my success – worried about it all going wrong. It is okay to just be happy that today you feel ‘fine’. In fact, it’s great to finally feel normal. There were a couple of occasions that arose today that
