My story one year on

[TylerDurden]

Hi all, I joined this board about a year ago, check here for my journal lightwave.proboards48.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=journal&thread=1135422260

I felt it appropriate that I post at this time as a quick update to my situation and also because I haven't posted for over 6 months.

Well first let me say that I'm still sober and haven't MB or viewed P in over a year. Looking back at this last year its been hard but I'm so glad that I've finally learnt how to deal with my addiction, you'll notice that I haven't said I've beaten this thing as I've realised that I will always be an addict, the difference now is that I'm able to control it after years of it controlling me.

Things at home are so much better than this time last year, the trust between my wife and I has slowly been rebuilt, we still have a way to go. For example, we have a Tivo and often my wife will 'screen' programs we've recorded before we watch , any inappropriate material is 'fast forwarded' and I must close my eyes or leave the room.

I must thank everyone here for the support and kind words that were offered to me. I know that the help from this board and the conselling sessions I attended were instrumental in me being where I am today.

I can't claim to have any answers, but I'd just like to say that this thing can be beaten / controlled, it is hard work but the rewards are well worth it.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year you to you all

Nice to read of your success TylerDurden. I'm especially impressed that you have been able to control MB. That's a tough one for many, including me. You give me inspiration to think about trying that course.

Again, congratulation,
Bob
