I have started the 40 day challenge from covenant eyes. Since I don't have an iPhone I'm getting an email each day. I will post my thoughts about the challenge here and share how I'm progressing. If anyone else is interested here is a link to the challenge. www.covenanteyes.com/challenge/At the bottom of the page there is an email sign up.

Day 1:
About accountability partners.
What I took away from the short video is how important it is to pick the right person. Someone mature and compassionate that won't judge or play police officer.

Day 2 vimeo.com/134839691Matt Fradd talks about three important mentalities we need to have if we are going to flee from temptation. What I got from the video is that freedom from p is not a goal it's a day to day decision to live in God's grace. And that if I make it a destination I will get disappointed.

Thanks for sharing these gloggen. I'm listening to all of them. I really like how he mentions that choosing to avoid porn is a daily thing. Not to worry about tomorrow or next year, etc. Worry about today only. I can deal with that. Spot on!
The comment at the end of the second day was pretty profound. That porn gives us the option to choose to honor God by avoiding it; something that previous generations have not had the privilege of doing.

Hello gloggen, having completed the CE 40day challenge recently, I found it helpful. They do advertise their software quite a bit, but the teachings are sound. When I worked through it, I recorded my lessons-learned/thoughts daily on a private blog and answered the 10 self assessment questions (rating 1 to 10).... I had this posted on my GoogleDrive and shared it with an Accountability Partner who read it daily and prayed for me daily and met with me regularly through the 40 days. He was a huge blessing.

Day 6 vimeo.com/43640585What I took from this lesson is how isolation and the belief that God does not love you can wreck havoc in your life. The biggest blessing to me was last time my wife said enough and I finally started opening up. Talking to someone else took away shame and have so far meant close to two months of total sobriety but more important it has changed how I think about and see woman. I'm still working, still learning and still fighting! Thank you all for being on this journey with me.

Good to see you back at it.. it took me about 50 days to complete this. Don't bother rushing to catch up ... take the time to ponder the lessons each day.

Day 9 vimeo.com/134841133What I took from this lesson is that I'm not only behavioral addicted to porn but that I have a serious issue with games as well. It's all interrelated with a desire for instant gratification and emotional avoidance.
