Hello, Charlie; . I discarded all of my porn. I began therapy. I began attending 12-step meetings and actually doing what was suggested. I began to read the boards. And recovery books. My wife and I evaluated and installed a filter with an accountability feature on the computer. I knew the original password, but suggested that she change it (I assume she did – I didn’t ask). I changed my heavily spammed e-mail address. I supported her telling whoever she needed to, to get support for herself. Even though I knew them and would have to encounter them. In short, I didn’t just swear off, I actually did stuff about it – for the first time ever. Really glad to see the miracle in your life today, Charlie. To me, it shows that Program can work for us addicts one day at a time and that these gifts of sobrioety and sanity can be offered to us today if we open our lives up to those grants of remission from this disease -- "It works if you work it -- so work it, you're worth it," as the longtime-sober women and men in my SLAA meetings say. Hang in there. Let's stay sober, just for today. Grace and peace, Guy

Wow, thanks everyone again. I don’t know which this board needs more, a “happy tears” smiley Or a “danger head swelling rapidly” smiley I could use either about now. -charlie

Hi Charlie,
Congratulations on your continuing recovery!
I know other people have already quoted this, but I'm going to do it too because I think it's just awesome:
I've read some profound insights on this board, but that really takes the biscuit.
Thank you.
Gordon

because it's a year later and it's our 24th anniversary today and I'm still proud of Charlie, as well as the post he made last year. :-)
