I've been working really hard this week. I had a late night followed by a business meeting in a part of town close to where I used to visit a brothel. On the way home I was really tired. I've been really good for over a month. No porno, no prostitutes, karezza with my wife regularly. But, tell you the truth I was tempted as I drove past, but I didn't go in.

THE BRAIN: THE SWITCHES THAT CAN TURN MENTAL ILLNESS ON AND OFF

The difference between one personality and another is not determined by genes alone. Love’s got something to do with it too.

Today is the start of day 4 and I've got a ton of motivation to beat this!
I'm going to do some shopping for my grandparents in fifteen minutes so I'll keep this breif.

I couldn't get to sleep last night and only had 5-6 hours worth, but I still feel pretty
good, simply because of this site and the amazing people (Marnia, Seeker) on it.

I'm battling with the anxiety thats trying to play all sorts of tricks on me, but I'm
eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, cutting back on the cigerettes and the drink

Well, this is my last and final post here on Reuniting. I’ve used abstinence forums in the past as support and it helped, but there was also a time when I had no support and was abstinent for even longer periods, I guess what I’m getting at is not to say it and just do it, (kinda like Nike). LOL! I just wanted to thank all those who replied to my posts and gave me kind words of encouragement, but my path is one of the solitary nature and I must travel on this circuitous route alone, and forge my own kingdom where I shall rule my own world and be more than a legend in my own mind.

The point of this article is that old dogs (mice) can learn new tricks. And equally important - we can unlearn old habits.

EXPERIENCE SHAPES THE BRAIN’S CIRCUITRY THROUGHOUT ADULTHOOD

I found this via a link via seekers blog,

The effects are wonderful. I am having an on day. Batman is getting back. However, I need to keep that old ego in check. Rome was not built in a day and the newfound magnetism needs a chance to work outself in life. In other words, it takes more than 2 weeks to see real conclusive benefits. But let me back up. I get too outcome-oriented in life. "If I do this, then that person will react this way." Recipe for frustration and disaster. That may be an even more important note to make. I have a potential date or two flake on me, and I play it cool but inside I get very dissapointed.

This blog, Neurotopia, is my favorite:

In the light that orgasm=giant-dopamine-spike, how does this affect the theories?

LOL I just realised this week I started making some of the same mistakes again that have hindered me in the past and that I have read others do on this site.

Thought I would share these lovely links to sufi music and poems
