3 weeks. Wow this has been a slog. Not so much from temptation, more from just life being hard and awkward and difficult. It has felt like one of the longest 3 weeks of my life. Days crawling by. But praise God am finally at the point of the longest sobriety of the year. Hallelujah!

Just checking in. Apart from a monster attack of food poisoning (I think), I'm still sober. However, to my great regret, at Church yesterday my eyes twice went to places they should not have gone to. Nameley the ####s of a young woman. Boy I am having problems with this. I'm a pretty short guy (5'7 1/2") and though I was a aware of the danger from a couple of teenage girls at my Christian fellowship, and to keep them in my peripherals whenever they come near, yesterday there was a new girl there, who must be close to 6' tall. Walking to the bathroom I passed through a couple of people chatting, looked back to where I was going and BAM! right in my eyeline!!! What am I supposed to do with that! Before I even had time to think it had happened. Awful. And she saw it. I feel terrible. Have been having problems with lust in my mind in the last few days (triggered by another attractive girl at work, who is also hard to avoid with my eyes, only with great difficulty and concentration). Had prayed about this. Then, it seems that when young women perceive that this might be happening, they want to 'test' it somehow. So despite the fact that I sat down with another member to chat over coffee, making sure to look down whenever one of these teenagers walks by, the tall girl managed to station herself right across the room from me, about 5 feet away, facing right at me. I was aware, but in a half hour conversation, in a room with 30 people moving about, eventually again my eyes did very briefly bounce there again! ARRRGHHH!! Really don't know what to do about this. Of course I don't want to be that guy at Church who leers at girls. How on earth do I keep my eyes in check 100% of the time. Thinking I might just have to not stay for coffee but just go straight home after the service.
