I got to stay at my Rabbi's house and Sunday I am going to 770 for his daughter's wedding. I have stayed clean and have been able to stop myself when I start thinking about bad things. I hope you all have a blessed Shabbat! --some_guy/Elias/Eliyahu

That's twice what I could do before! I will pray for more of Hashem's help and I will continue to get better. I realize that its slow, but I am growing. That is enough for me. --some_guy/Elias/Eliyahu

chachaman OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 211 Karma: 10	Congrats! 7 days is a really long time! What lead to the fall, and how could you avoid that in the future? For me, in the past if I had a bad day I would fall; I couldn't control the bad day part, but I could control how I reacted to the bad day.

Hi guys,
Today I feel the need to M really bad. I will try my best to beat it and I think I will be fine. In case you were wondering, I am still trying to not look at any P or this month. I have already fallen twice, but I am still going strong. I feel so free. This drug that I needed is just gone. Even when I do M, I don't get that addictive rush. I never felt like this before.

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, I fell this morning.

Fortunately, its a 3 day weekend.

I don't feel depressed about falling. I went more than a whole week! I still get amazed by that. I read a chapter of Tanya last night that talked about this issue a lot. It really helped. It says reciting the bedtime Shema every night, with this in mind, is teshuva for M . Now that I know how to fix my passed mistakes, I can start moving on to future challenges. I wish you all a happy Shabbos.
