quit for good

Hello Joe,
Good you are working on your addiction. I like the quote under Enigmaman's post. That if you put yourself down, it continues your spiral and furthers use.
I attended my first SAA (Sex Addicts Anonymous) meeting last week. It was really interesting hearing other stories. SAA/AA ws set up by christians but the people in my group are not christians. They follow the SAA steps which seems rigid at first but gives a frame work to work through your problems. Might be worth looking at?
All the best!

Hey Guys thanks for reading and taking the time to post words of encouragement. I am now on day 18 and only had a few urges but was quickly able to suppress them I also had a dream that I relapsed but it was after a month but the dream must have disappeared very quickly so i'm not giving it any further thought Today the real test will begin as the house is completely empty and I know I will have some free time I'm carefully debating how to fill it I might go and snowblower out a few neighbours driveways to stay out of the house (we had a fair amount of snow last night and its still snowing) but its not so cold now over all I do feel much better these days and so far no real side effects at all made love to the wife over the weekend but it was a quicky as the kids were getting up but it was def a good time Will try to post later today as to how this 1st day lone is going
Cheers post oftewn it helps me it helps you

Joe,
How was your day today?
Congrats on Day 18!
I'm on Day 7 and my main distraction--my cat--is asleep, lol. I'm sick, home from work. I just got through an urge. I will say, a flu or really bad cold does wonders for rebooting--seriously!

Hey Overcomer My day went well I went and helped a few people clear their driveways with my snowblower was good exercise to boot Congrats on day 7 keep pushing through with things to do I find leaving the house really helps if you have an urge you probably cant act on it. I shall be around in the morning o say hello and I already have a small list of things I need to do
Cheers
