day 70!
had a slip the other day but otherwise doin great. really working on my marriage and it's like magic how just changing my attitude and how i just work on my actions and the effect it has had so far, i still have a ways to go but it's been a great start.

Here's are the details of what I've been doing:
1)First I just started with eye contact. Once I focused on it I realized how little eye contact I had been having with her before that. This made me feel a little more connected to her and helped me really focus on what she says.

2)Started sending thank you texts almost every day for something she did the day before.

3)I really worked on using "I Love you" much more often from texts or calls during the day and then progressing to saying it to her every time i leave the house.

4)Started buying flowers EVERY friday and I try to write a short poem.

5)Started giving her a kiss or non-sexual touch every so often (hardly did it before)

Anyway so far it's been great, my wife didnt suddenly start falling all over me but I def feel that shes more happy and theres more energy in our marriage

Many of us have shared similar experiences. Welcome back on track! Oh and thanks for saying where you were holding. A lot of people say they fell, but not where they were holding. How can anyone respond without that basic info and personally I don'r keep a spread sheet of everyone's count. Maybe Cordnoy does
Much Hatzlacha!

sorry to hear that.
it can be tough.
we dust ourselves off, however, and see where we can take another step.
you are determined, so that's good b"H.

Focus on today.

Good stuff!
Thanks for the update.
How fortunate that you're taking care of this at a young age.

I thank hashem every day that i found this site so quickly (23 married 3 years acting out for about 2 years) at the rate that i was going who knows what would have happened if not for gye.
just the fact that i was not alone was a huge boost for me


I'm in a similar situation. 25, married 4 years with 1 kid. Iv'e been struggling for a long time, but thankfully it has never progressed to anything beyond porn and masturbation (not that those are small things, but still). I thank Hashem for allowing me to find this site which has a mechaye and Iv'e been clean since I started coming on here!

Unbelievable how hard the Y"H will fight to rob you of the satisfaction of getting to day 90! But if you pick yourself up and continue counting then really you're the one who won this battle!

1 day may be too long for me, but I take it OWAAT = One wave at a time, cause the lust comes and goes like a wave which rises and crashes.

Mixed emotions/mixed lessons

made to 90 - YaY - you KNOW that steady success recovery is very real to you

fell - depressing - your program has some hole/holes you must tweak

However, the balance sheet is way in the positive side.
