Even if someone is heading out to the other side of town and on the way he slips on the ice, all he needs to do it just get up and continue. But slipping never takes a person all the way back home. Even if you slip, you are still where you were when you fell. You just need to stand yourself up and continue on from where you left off... JUST DON'T STAY ON THE FLOOR!

DON'T LOOK WHER YOU FELL....

JUST LOOK WHERE YOU SLIPPED.........

HOW IS THE SECRET TZADDIK DOING??

better today. you know it's funny . as a person, in my job, interacting w/ people, i had an excellent and very successful day .  but as i got on the forum i had this real empty feeling hit me .  like something was missing . i want my sobriety back .but i think it's a good thing.  i feel a hole i want to refill .  i really liked that feeling . H' please help me get it back . 1 day clean .happy for that. :-\

Keep your head up! You are here and not on some trashy site that you hate but need. One hour at a time, bro, one hour at a time.

right ,right . I am much better off than I was . I have opened it up and am dealing with it  and that is much more than i've ever done in my life. No thats not true, i tried to deal w/ it as a bachur but people didn't want to really help me or thought it wasn't such a big deal .  Only now I have people to help me deal with this long term in a serious way. Not just by telling me to get married which has only messed up my marriage (B'H not permenantly).  I am doing pretty OK! ;D . 2 days clean.

1 day . had a terrible  friday nite. was insulted, stressed,nervous and frustrated. when the triggers came i fell for them again . i was on the rebound from falling .it happens every time i fall.i figure i'm already down might as well .... I have a funny trigger though. it's sounds .  a sound reminds me of bad things i've heard and has a very powerful effect on me. what do i do ? i can't stop myself from hearing things?! And i usually hear them at quiet times in the house at night, when i have no support or distraction.  how do i run away from my own brain?

YOU DONT

YOU PULL YOUSELF UP TO FULL RANK

AND.. AND..

YOU TAKE EM ON

YOU BRING OUT YOUR GEMAN SHEPARD

YOUR SMITH AND WESSON

YOU SAY GET OFF MY PROPERTY!!!!!

OR ELSE!!!!

Everyone has different triggers... but the common denominator is, that we all wish we could run away from our own brains!  :-[

Maybe it would help to think that our brains are just some icky mush. Will we let that mush control us and sin against G-d?

See this page for lots of great tips on dealing with bad thoughts (read top to bottom).

G-d luck!

this is not working. i'm not getting a handle  on myself.i can't get started being clean again. HELP!!

HELLO ONE DAY OR EVEN ONE HOUR AT A TIME

MIKVAH IS A GREAT START!!!

Dude, let me remind you of something someone once wrote:

"11 days. this is saving my life .I hope this isn't just premature excitement but with this forum it is feeling easier . H' please help me not to lower my guard.Keep me strong! I'm finding it diificult not to think of a large number of days"

In response Guard HaAnav wrote, "Don't think about 90 days. Ask Hashem for help one day at a time and he'll give it to you... Like the maan in the dessert. Each day it came for that day only."

A few days later, "14 days!  i'm feeling better than i have in a long time. i feel like i'm going somewhere. one day at a time. H' help me  finish today!"

You rode this one day at a time theme to 27 days...

Seems like you need to stop thinking about getting a string together you need to stop thinking negatively and start doing what has always worked for you here: one hour at a time one minute at a time...like bardichev says one hour...when the triggers start triggering rush to this network...spend time going through the stories, the handbooks, the lessons...live for the minute youre in and make that minute a good one...
