Making myself post today

I B"h haven't fallen today but am feeling that sinking feeling that I know too well to be a symptomatic of the prelude to a fall

First I think getting it out is reminding me how close i am to sinking back into the swamp at any moment no matter how far I have come.

Does anyone have good suggestions to get the ship back on course - go back to how I was feeling last week (strong, motivated to never get near any smutz etc.)

I do not want to sink back into my old bad habits

Thanks

Most important thing is to remember not to take the first drink and to realise that's all it takes to trigger a downward spiral.

You just gotta be brutal with yourself and not like be hmm I'm just curious; I'll just check it out for whatever seemingly innocent and plausible reason the YH might try to trick you with.

Also, guard the eyes and DON'T dwell on lustful thoughts even if you're already guarding the eyes and avoiding porn. Cos that's led me to fall on several occasions.

Don't touch your penis and do anything silly like testing its sensitivity, checking out the immensity of your manhood, masturbating and stopping before you reach climax  etc you get the general picture lol 

Sorry if I sound patronising, crude or vulgar. But it's mainly sticking to the basics when you're going through a dangerous time.

The best advice I have seen so far is not letting yourself "almost slip". The truth is whenever I fall I never just stam fall, it is precluded by looking at innapropriate images and then more innapropriate etc. etc, until the fall happens. You have to look at an almost fall as an actual fall! As for the chizuk you would like, just know you are being michazaik me! I struggle so much with this issue yet every time I see people like you working through their tayvoh and their teva I want to change myself for the better too. You should feel strong knowing you are making others strong. Thank you.

Thanks alot for those words of chizuk
