DAY 1...The Art of Fighting Without Fighting
Today you begin a journey. Don't expect yesterday to be the last day you fall. Today is not about never looking at porn again. Today is about not looking at porn...today. We'll deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things." -Matthew 6:34
Remember we are filling our lives with good things, not fighting the bad things.

Remember we are filling our lives with good things, not fighting the bad things.
It is about learning to be smart about the fight, engaging directly may not super helpful.
Some days will have more instruction than others. Some will have a video or a song.
Today's Instructions:
A. Pray for the day, for friends, for family, for enemies. Thanksgiving, Requests, Praise.
B. After you have set up your account on Fortify as indicated in the "Setting the Table" tab, click "Week One" and watch the introduction video.
C. Go to the daily readings and read today's Scripture and Saints readings.
D. Journal the following: 1. Today I'm excited about..., 2. I see my challenges today to be... and 3. I will do _____ to overcome today's challenges.
Tips: Looking at porn is the last thing you want to do today. You also know you can waste a lot of time doing it. So, when the urges come, waste time doing something else. Today's time waster: Pick up a thank you note, Get up, walk down the hall to another room or place, sit down and write someone a thank you note, a thank you note for anything. Find their address, stamp it, and put it in a mail box.
Don't ever come back to this page to start over. This is the launching pad, but you've already begun, even if you fall. If you want to review this page, please do, but do not come back here to start over.
See you tomorrow, next post will be on February 28th.
