Dov OFFLINE Administrator Posts: 1960 Karma: 383	Used a calculator just now, for I have never counted the days up ever before (to my recollection). Those who make a big deal about big numbers just don't get it yet. And i certainly do not *really* get 'it' yet, either. Hashem is not nearly through with me and Tatteh tatzileinu mishgiyos!

Nebulamud!! Wow!! You are back!

I missed you, I missed your bizarre and cute username...and I just missed the point of your post. Oh, you feel exhausted after falling. Right...so:

Please tell me -

Is the exhaustion you refer to from your fall, or is the exhaustion from those 80 days of relentless fighting against your obsession/habit?

And I am back again dov! I was referring above to being exhausted over both struggling for 80 days AND falling over by OBSESSION/ADDICTION(and habit by extension)

Nu, to me it makes little difference (really no practical difference at all) if someone is struggling and 'holding his breath' - or masturbating his brains out to schmutz. Either way, we get covered with mud, as tzaddikim have said (regarding normal people, and not even addicts) - and it is a death knell to sobriety and the Good Life.

Exhaustion is yucky, may Hashem spare me from it today and help me just surrender the lust I have and give it all up for today, no strings attached, trust Him and get on with real living, Amen! I need my energy for real living, not for silly battles. I can't afford to be battleworn.
