If we accidentally enter a website with some p in it, we can always get out of that site. the problem is even if u got the strength to get out of the site, but u still got that horrible feeling, that blood goes heavily up ur head, and the eyes become redish. that feeling hurts and it really does.

Here, let me post my quotes earlier today: 2 quotes for the second day:
1. It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education--Albert Einstein 2. Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived -- Abraham Lincoln

You know what helps me is I installed Blue Coat K9 on my computer and it filters out all porn pretty well... gets 98% of the stuff. If you do come across a porn site that gets missed somehow you submit the URL to Blue Coat and it adds it to the block list. You can also customize what you want blocked. If you feel you can't trust yourself right away you can make your SO the site administrator with the password. It works great for me. You can get Blue Coat K9 for free from downloads.com

Congrats on your decision!! It's refreshing to know that others recognize the detrimental impact of PORN!!! Caution - The world will not help you with your struggle!!! I've been so angry about this long addiction. Your being a great example to others. I just came across this website and am already encouraged about my own struggles!!!

Ah! the weekend is here. This will be a test of my resolve. Especially if I sit around idle. I am confident it will be fine.

Antiaddiction thank you for the great quotes. Keep it up it! I just feel a little guilty today thinking about all the time I have wasted surfing the net for porn. It's highly addictive no doubt about it.

It might be a little painful to fight the urges but it feels great not having the guilt of wasting my time. Yesterday I listened to recordings of old Presidential speeches instead of watching porn. It felt good because I felt smarter instead of dumber when it was over.

I'm in.
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly... who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worse, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." (Theodore Roosevelt)

Woohoo. Thanks a full day.

Life is good today. I am seeing there is more to this addiction than just physically watching the porn, there is a subset of attitudes and behaviors that go along with this affliction. One of them is using chatrooms. lol, Thanks, I am grateful to post here.
