| I just wanted to start a thread for my own accountability. I will periodically post here to report progress and struggles. Since my introduction a few days ago, I have faced temptation a few times, but I have not stumbled. I think that it is a great help knowing that I must be accountable to fellow Christians for what I do online. I know that it should be enough to be accountable to God only, but nevertheless being accountable here should help.

| I need to confess to you all that yesterday I looked at some things online which, while not pornography, were not pleasing to God. Compared to the filth that I used to look at, it was nothing, but in my heart I sinned just the same as looking at porn. Please pray for me. I have been under a lot of stress at work lately, and it seems that when I get under stress, I am more vulnerable to temptation.

| I need to let you all know that about 10 days ago I fell rather badly and indulged in a binge of p/m. Afterwords I just didn't feel like getting on here and sharing because I have fallen and repented so may times. However, I think that this time I learned something that needs to be shared. I know that this is nothing new, but it seems like it finally hit me: I cannot love God and love sin. The two are incompatible. God hates sin; therefore it is impossible to love God and love sin. One must choose between one or the other. One cannot love God and continue in sin any more than one can walk east and west at the same time. I know that this is obvious, and that intellectually I have known this all along. However, this time it really hit me. I have chosen God and that's that. Since making this choice, the temptation of p/m has really lost its edge. I feel like its just not an option anymore.
