Hi everyone - 2nd December and still going strong. This is something we can all do, together. Let's get into the Chrsitmas spirit and out of the P spirit. We don't need to be held captive an longer. Keep going everyone...
If anyone else wants to join this thread, you're welcome - it's only December 2nd.

I'm still going strong - heading towards Christmas.
It would be great to finish December with everyone still on board, with an extra 31 days under their belt.

I'm in. I'm at 2 days now, so It's a good motivation for me. I've haven't gone a month in a while, this should be fun. Christmas will feel so much more meaningful if I can make it.
I will not look at P in December.
I will not look at P in December.
Good luck!

Good to know that everyone is in this with me. Three days down, and 29 to go. I am on day 42 I think, and it feels REALLY good to have abstained for that long. I am changing, and for the better. I now have to sop oogling pretty women, but that I am also working on, and am confident that I can overcome that. Good luck to all of us, and lets keep each other strong as we go for the rest of the month. And, can you IMAGING how good we will all feel when we wake up on Jan 1st 2008, knowing that we have been P free for at least 1 month, and more importantly, we have a month headstart on being P free for 2008! That would be great.

I just had my first real temptation for this month. I'm pretty aggravated about it, too, but I did manage to resist. The reason I'm aggravated is because what almost triggered it was that online dating website which so obnoxiously calls itself "True." It's fitting that in their logo the 'u' is underlined because they really do make it all about you. I was looking at vehicle information on MSN autos and the ads kept popping up at the top of the screen - short videos of attractive early-20's women talking to the camera. They were not very scantily-clad, but you could definitely see an attractive build. I gave in and clicked the link and up popped a clip of a woman in lingerie laying on a bed at a laptop. Mechanically, I opened up google to start the binge, but then instead I came here. I think that this is progress, and I can still claim a porn-free December for now. So to sum up - be ever aware of provocative advertising, and try coming here when you're on the brink of a binge. It worked for me today, at least.

i'll pretend december starts on the 3rd haha, i slipped on the 30th and came to my senses on the 2nd...
I am now commited...my december will end on Jan 3.
May i also recommend this book: Sun Tzu's the art of war, we are in a war against an enemy that doesnt sleep...an enemy that knows us inside and out...its only fair that we know more about the art of war and help ourselves fight this enemy the smart way.

bilh, well done you for turning it around, I've been in that situation recently myself, and pre-'recovery' it would have definitely turned into an all-night binge. The support board has given me somewhere else to go. This is progress.
icemadila, you can still declare the rest of december p free, I slipped up about this early in my 'p-free' november, so keep going until the end of the month and beyond my friend!
PS could have posted this in today's 'No P on monday' thread, but the sentiment's the same!

Billh, I echo slamdunk's sentiments - congratulations on fighting the urge. I've got dating/personals websites blocked (came as default with the blocking software), although if you use them, perhaps you could find a safe one (or Block the images/ads using something like Firefox + AdBlocker).
Icemadila, welcome to the thread - we're all here to beat this/get a head start for 2008.
As for me, I'm still clean - We can all make December.

I'm in!.....decided to scrap all the talk of trying to set-up filters blah blah...
...mental strength required ....so far no Pron in December - day 4 tomorrow
it's funny how the mind trys to play tricks...I'v already tried to make excuses about why it's not a big deal sitting for hours watching pron....when only days ago i was distraught about how my life was passing me by whilst sat glued to the computer.......as long as i keep recognising its the addiction trying to wriggle its way back in I should succeed.....so far so good
good luck to everyone.....any withdrawal is tough...dont give in to it! start doing something you've always wanted to but been avoiding!
