I'm glad that my wife was able to help out and get this completed. Thank you, wiltingiris.
Al,
If you need any more help. Let us know. It won't surprise me if we need to do a little more. Nice work.

Hi Kevin! Your wife was incredibly kind, and helpful. You have a real treasure.
You're right, there is a thing i still need done, and I need your help. I found some keywords in the safe search I didn't think about and i need to update. If you read this tell your wife please, so when she has time she'll be able to assist me in the same way she did before. She just needs to send me a PM when she's ready. Thank you again!

Thanks Al.
I'm glad to know your safe search didn't kick you out of Blazing Grace.
I'll let my wife know that her help is requested. Good job keeping it together. Take care!
your brother in Christ,
Kevin

Uroy91, KK, and Wiltingiris, Good team work all of you. I presume all intended goals have been accomplished and Uroy91 has a new hedge of protection. If not, speak up so it can be completed. In the meantime I thank God for good friends unseen and across borders and miles. Isn't there an analogy in this to faith and our unseen God? Nikanor

There's a problem, my friends. yesterday I found a way around the protections. I need to eliminate that way fast. It has nothing to do with the software itself, but the dual boot system I have on my pc. I need to eliminate the Linux one, which doesen't have any protection, for I am not able to install the protection there.

Linux and windows phones have very limited options for protecting against XXX sites. With my Linux computer, I have DansGuardian. It's better than nothing. However, I view it like a disfunctional family with unhealthy boundaries. Sometimes, bad things can get in and good things can't. lol.
So I'm learning to lean on Jesus and not on my physical boundaries. So far, it's been working well for me. Thank you, Lord.
Al, please let us know how things are going each day. When I'm starting anew, you'll notice that I'll try to make a daily attempt to let each of you know how things are going with me. With no other accountability, checking in every day is helpful for me. I don't wait until I'm in big trouble. Please consider doing the same.
It seems that you communicate in English very well. Are you American? Or are you Italian that just knows English really well?
I would also like to know how your spiritual life is going. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate yourself?
Thanks for your friendship and your sharing, Al. It's much appreciated. Keep up the the good work.
Your brother in Christ,
Kevin

I agree. Limiting the access on the web is just like healing the symptoms and not the cause. One needs to have a change of heart first, otherwise it'll never work.
I'm not American, just an italian A student in english lol, no boasting XD
My spiritual life is somewhat unregular, there re days where i would rate myself an 8 and other when I fall below 4. I'm trying to stabilize my faith, but it's difficult to me. Pray for me so God can heal my spirit.

Hey Al,
Thanks for sharing. Good observation.
One thing that is important to me is to hold myself accountable to the forum on how well I'm doing with my relationship with the Lord. That's what my To-Do list tries to achieve. I would encourage you to do something along the same lines. The more I succeed in drawing closer to Jesus, the better I am to withstand against temptation.
I think many members on this forum have missed that important element. Without abiding in Jesus and staying in the spirit, all I have to stand on is my own flesh. Don't assume that I'm always in the spirit, because sometimes, I'm not. And that's when I'm weakest.
I'm sure you can relate. I bet it's harder for you to stay sober on your "4" days than it is on your "8" days.
Keep up the good work.
Kevin

You're right I guess. It's important to share your progresses. I'll keep that in mind.
All of my relapses happened on "4" days, so you're correct.
May God keep blessing you and your wife!

I managed to block my access to Linux! Now I'm temptation proof!

Uroy91, Good news indeed. It took some effort but this is but one important step in purity and sobriety. Always be on the alert and be ready to deal with and fight temptation. Good work brother.
