Stuart,

Yes, you can block specific search terms through K9. 

For a while, I blocked sex* and *sex.  However, that caused many legitimate articles and sites to be blocked.  So, for now, I have unblocked those particular search terms.

I think 555 5th Avenue is a tall skyscraper. With a big jazz club on the top. "Everywhere is a song and a celebration." Including for 555. Mazel tov.

B'Ezras Hashem - day # 558.

On Friday I was off from work.  When I started feeling weak yet again (it's been difficult, on and off, since my wife went to Mikvah about a week ago), I realized that the best way to prevent myself from starting to slip (after reaching out to Hashem) is to make myself useful.  So, while my wife was out of the house, I did several things to help straighten up for Shabbos.  When my wife later asked me what was going on, I said that it's not right that she should have to do everything.

There shouldn't really be a need to explain why we're helping our wives get ready for Shabbos.  That's the way it should be (not that I'm one to talk!).  Besides, what I told my wife was the truth - she really shouldn't have to do everything!

I just got an "innocent" commercial e-mail which contained a picture that is just the type of thing that I find very triggering.  If I didn't act fast, my entire sobriety would be at risk of collapse.  Boruch Hashem, I was able to apply the three-second-rule (actually, quite a bit faster).  I immediately covered the screen, deleted the message, emptied my deleted items folder, and then took one more step that was necessary to make the message completely irrecoverable.  Frankly, that hurt somewhat, and still does, but the alternative would have hurt a trillion times more (I'd say a quadrillion, but you'd think I'm exaggerating!).

To paraphrase the UNCF - "Your sobriety is a terrible thing to waste!"  B'Ezras Hashem, I'm now up to day #560.
