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
Day 28 – What a shame? Read More »
Another new week to tempt us! I would hope that most of us are so distracted by the ‘needs’ of Christmas that we have very little time to think about our sexual addictions. If we are part of a family then this will be the week when lots of planning is taking place. Who is
Many apologies that I did not submit a blog yesterday – other commitments took priority.

The rain and wind are forcing me to stay indoors and I am bored. What a recipe for disaster that is! So I make it worse and go online… Seriously, tactics for dealing with boredom are crucial but unlike our recent efforts these solutions need to be long term. They need to provide ‘desire’ and
After a beautiful Mass yesterday with the Feast of The Immaculate Conception it is back to the tedium of the 40 day challenge and completion of my Purity Novena. I came out of Mass having thanked Our Lady for the gift of ongoing purity and I felt free. In fact, I had no great desire
