Hi GANG!!

I'm back from sickbay.

You can all visit Momo's thread to see my cartoon "vort" for the day, and while you're there, drop him a line to let him know we're all praying for him. He's one of the bravest of the heros on this forum and he's been through a lot lately. So let's all pick him up. G-d knows how many times he's done that for so many of us, and now it's OUR TURN to be there for him.

see ya in the funny papers...

Kol Tuv!!

PS - OL and HABA, I'm still in the lead at 48/49 days. You two still hanging tough?!! Oh, and IT - "You wan' a piece of me?" - your first meal at our new restaurant in ON THE HOUSE.  :D :D :D ;D

Fuzzy Wazzy wasn't very fuzzy, was he? 

Just jumped into this here pool (actually, GYE is a lot like a Mikveh) to wash off some of the filth, comin' up clean again. BH my resolve's still holdin', tho for some reason I found it harder today to avoid a second look at someone. Practicing what i learned, I looked into myself to see what is bothering me, what am i resenting right now that i needed to distract myself with escaping into a quick voyeur. And whaddayaknow, I found them. Stupid things like a disagreement with my wife over whether to buy cheap or lease a car to replace my jalopy that went brokey, and important things like how to motivate my Dad to do his therapy. So again, another proof to the Living in Recovery System, that once i uncover the root cause, the DESIRE to look is removed from me. I MUST remember to follow this path anytime i get the wrong urges. Then, instead of white knuckling it, I get to sigh and move on.

Will this method work for most people who haven't gone thru the 12 steps yet? I would like to think so. But on the other hand, maybe it works for me because I BELIEVE in the approach, that it WILL WORK because I have seen how it fits in with my new philosophy of life with this addiction. It also helps that once I gave it a good chance, I've experienced that it DOES work.

Have an AWESOME day, everyone.  Keep the FAITH!!

Tahnks, Steve - important points for everyone to think about.

And whether or not it immediately removes the temptation, it still points us in the right direction, shows us what we need to work on anyway!
