Days without porn: 28
4 weeks without porn.  One month (sort of).  I am more determined than ever to keep this going.  Porn has done a lot to destroy my relationship, and has probably helped to cause the other factors.  Even if I am on my own going forward (I am seeking a place to move into) I know I can keep doing this.  It will be more difficult alone but I know I have support if and when I need it.  My group therapy seems like it will be a great help to me especially if I am single because my girlfriend was a large source of my motivation.  But I a) need to do this for myself and b) we are trying to remain friends.  I hope so, because she is my best friend and I need her.  So I need to not push her away.


Days without alcohol: 28
Still managing to keep away from both.  Alcohol addiction has become less of a problem recently I think.  The fact that I am usually managing not to get angry has probably helped with this a lot.  Again, when I'm alone it will grow again because when I was single I always used to do a lot of my drinking in my bedroom alone for apparently no real reason other than to switch off.  I am still exploring other ways to keep my mind and body busy so that I don't turn to these horrible addictions.  Exercise is good because I feel very productive.  And if I can get myself into a book before I get restless I can fight it off, although I'm finding that it's no good as an alternative to take my mind off something that's already there.
