Happy New Years Eve! I was hoping to go play basketball this morning, but unfortunately (or maybe luckily) my phone died and so my alarm didn’t go off. Bummer! Mom and Dad are here and so far, things have gone pretty well. It’s hard at times because it seems like Dad is always looking for […]

Today has been a crazy day. I’ve been the project manager for the downstairs basement, which has been fun but a bit overwhelming. I’m grateful that we are getting this part of the basement done so when the baby comes, our visitors will have somewhere to clean up instead of coming up to our room. […]

Today is day 325 in recovery from my addictions to lust, pornography and masturbation. I can’t believe how fast the time goes by. I’m grateful for a loving wife. I’m grateful for a Heavenly Father who is willing to give me so many chances to change and repent and try to be closer to Him. […]

Today went fairly well. I got up and did what I said I was going to do – worked on step work first thing. Then we got ready and made it to church early for tithing settlement. Sacrament meeting was when things got a bit tough: J was quite a pain and it seemed to […]

Merry Christmas! Today was a great day! Mom and Dad celebrated Christmas with us today at our house. Becky is 3 weeks away from having our 5th baby – it’s so crazy. Plus, we got a ton of snow last night and today – a white Christmas. I felt pretty good overall. I did feel […]

It’s Christmas Eve! It’s been a busy and crazy last few days. I’m glad to have some time to write, think, and reflect on my day. Today was quite a challenge going to the store to shop. There were people all over the place – I really had to work harder than normal to submit […]

I’m writing this on Day 31 but am going to publish it on Day 30. I’ve started Step 4 and have been working on a detailed spreadsheet – this is why I haven’t been posting answers to questions here (and it looks like I won’t be for awhile). Step 4 is a big step – […]

Today was a hard day. Luckily, it wasn’t hard from an addiction standpoint, but I know that my feelings can be a core issue that I need to always be aware of. I felt a few things today: Anger – because BYU lost and because I’d put my biggest points on them to win with […]
