strugglingguy Current streak: 1 day OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 265 Karma: 4	Thanks. Attended my third meeting today. Really getting comfortable there. Spoke with my sponsor today - my wife was out of house and I touched base with him ahead of time - and that worked out well, BH.

Today I used my phone for cartoons - some of which were inappropriate for someone like me. The feeling of lust is sometimes very powerful and I do want to use my phone to fulfill my "needs". tomorrow is a new day though freilichin chanuka - SG

Hi Struggling,

I receive notifications whenever there is a new post on this thread. I'm not sure why I signed up for that because this is the only thread I follow like that.There must have been something special to me about you or something that I related to. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you are still at it and trying new ways to get recovery.

Be well.

Much Hatzlacha!
