A week later

I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve been a bit under the weather lately (I still have no idea where that phrase came from) and that coupled with the typical school business has left me with little motivation to write. But now I’m feeling the urge to update so here we go.

I’ve been going pretty strong so far on keeping clean. I really believe, now, that that is because of one reason primarily. That reason is that I made a promise. I made the promise to my girlfriend that I would not intentionally look at porn again (I say intentionally because there is away the chance that I may be in the wrong place at the wrong time and get exposed to something vulgar and I wouldn’t want my promise broken by something I cannot control). Now anyone who knows me well knows that a promise is something I rarely if ever make. That is because it is something so utterly serious for me that if there is much of any chance that I cannot keep my word I won’t make the promise in the first place.

So the commitment to kick this addiction is now very serious because if I fail to keep my promise my word is no longer worthwhile and trust in me may be shattered. Thus I am committed to my promise. Please pray, though, that I will have the strength to persist. As always, I will need God’s help with this.
