Would it be desirable to have a CHART or graph of some sort, outlining each member's progress over time?
EX: Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4

Thats an interesting idea. I dont know though. I personally prefer talking about how I've been doing to other people, instead of just highlighting asterisks. But its a good idea.

Idgit, what helps one, may not help another. If it works for you, use it. I don't think that would work as I don't like colour coded documents. It interferes with my perceptions somehow. If you're methodical that method probably would work but I'm not at all.

My thoughts are that, if that's what works for you go for it. Personnaly I think if a lot of people did it, it wouldn't get a lot of attention after a while. It's not that others are not concerned when another falls, but talking about it seems to me is a lot more personal. It doesn't matter to me how many times a brother falls, it's how you get up, shake it off and keep striving for a changed heart. This is what works for me.

I've been trying that for years but it hasn't worked.
After a relapse that lasted many months I recently discovered WV's post re 'Lust & the Flattery Connection' http://blazinggrace.org/forums/forum20/1157.html
In the past I've tried to combat lustfull thoughts with ideas like 'I must not do this' or 'my lust object is really a sister in the Lord who deserves honour rather than exploitation' and it may have worked once or twice but inevitably I would surrender to my base gratifications and comfort my ego with the vain imagination that some woman was eager to gratify herself with my power.
It may be early days yet but WV's post has been like a mental cold shower and strangely, I haven't even had to work at it.
Hope this helps.

Hi all! sorry, I forgot I posed this question  Seems like what I proposed is just another construct of mans strength, doomed to failure. I really value your input and am glad to be here with other guys who hate their sin too.
I read that WV post and it is eye opening. I think my whole prob revolves around being wanted. p/m/fantasy became my sole means of arousal (could not maintain in bed with my wife without fantasy), even tho she wanted me I could not get off the crazy train. I still can't! p free for 4 weeks, but m... can't/won't stop. I actually looked into castration as an option, but then I read that the early church considered it an abomination. What's weird is that I am not even aroused when I turn to m. it's like I force myself to, or something is forcing me, or I surrender to my flesh, which needs my mind to pleasure itself. I fear I will never be free of this. God help us whoremongering flesh servers.
