I am currently on day 3 of my recovery. The reason that I am on the board is that I enjoy the fellowship, support and the ability to track my progress.
I am recently married and have decieded if I am to fulfill the calling that God has on my life I need to live up to that which God asks of us.
I am torn in many aspects of my life. I desire to be a IP litigator and want to have some sort of ministry.
With each day I will grow stronger in my relationship with the Lord and my ability to overcome temptation.

Good job coming onto the site, each day clean is a good one, away from temptation and time spent on more important tasks.

Day 3 is in the books. I am excited to go home. Tomorrow I have a 24 hour take home, but after that I am free until Jan 8. Not much temptation today, that is a good thing.

I was just thinking. Why are people drawn to porn. Is it the excitement or the desire to see sexual acts that are normally out of character in a normal relationship, or is it the detachment from the images seen. I dont know all I know is that God does not want us lusting after sexual temptation.

I don't think it's excitement that people are drawn to. Porn has no excitement in it.
Basing on my reflection of the past couple years, I know for a fact that porn IS NOT exciting, but I've always lusted after sexual acts. I know there's a sex switch in every man and woman. That's why people get married and have sex. I don't think I've met a couple yet who hasn't had sex. It's instinct-driven desire which, when flipped on, we try to get as close as possible to "being there" hence wanking off during or after porn sessions. It's human nature and it's not pretty.
But, it is good when it's in the bondage of marriage. In fact, it's a blessing.
Now, what also separates us from animals is our choice to do it or not. We can make it. Dolphins are the only species other than humans that can make a choice to commit a sexual act or not. Also, there are some animals that only live with one partner. If one dies, they either commit suicide or live the rest of their lives alone. All other animals respond to being in heat of any other animal within their species being in heat.
Also, it's in all of us to disobey. I mean, really, would sex be an issue if God hadn't put the rules there? If God hadn't drawn a live between sexual purity and immorality? No... Would Eve ever eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil if God hadn't set a boundary between the tree and man? NO! It wouldn't even be desirable to eat.

I am near the end of day seven. I am praying the weather will be safe for the drive home. Currently it does not look good. I am going to read a book before I start to look at materials for next semester.
