Should I or shouldn't I display my Current streak on the forum?
 *  NO, It's not all or nothing, just every bit counts!
 *  I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try.
 *  Being curios made me lust and get into trouble.

I know for me I get chizuk seeing others having a very high number of clean days. It gives hope I too (and all of us) may one day BE"H be so zocheh.

I am not intimidated because the forum is filled with streaks of varying lengths
As well, knowing I can post each day another one on my streak is another incentive for me.

As I posted on another thread I feel like a little boy with a mitzvah note but HEY it helps.

I wonder what is the reason that some post their strike, and others don't?
Is it shame,fair or ? would like to hear.

If your strike would be shone only for the members of GYE would you post your strike?

Maybe we can ask to make some changes?

If you are willing to start the chart just click here.

We have to remember that a fall doesn't always mean doing something very bad, it can happen in 3 sec'. Look at the rules:
What constitutes a "Fall" to require restarting the count?
There are "slips" and there are "falls". "Slips" do not require restarting the count. "Falls" do require restarting.
A "Fall" is one of the following things:
1- Intentional masturbation (with finish)
2- Intentionally viewing improper sites
3- Intentionally calling inappropriate telephone numbers
4- Intentionally seeking out and reading erotica
Worse things, which we need not mention
In regard to number 2 (and 4), if someone saw something by mistake and then got a little bit carried away and kept looking at it, or even if someone saw a link and couldn't resist clicking on it but then catches themselves within a few seconds, that would only be considered a "slip", not a "fall". However, if someone decides to actively pursue viewing bad sites, that would be considered a fall.


No one knows from what you fell, and you just start from fresh like a Gibbor.
 *  NO, It's not all or nothing, just every bit counts!
 *  I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try.
 *  Being curios made me lust and get into trouble.

Do you find displaying helping you stay sober?
Thanks for your advice

When we fall we start counting 90 from 0
I think that we should have a count for porn and a extra count masturbation.
Just to know how long we're clean from each.
I have seen this on a other porn and masturbation recovery site (can't remember the name)

I keep the old score posted by my name here. Anything that keeps me motivated. Look, we all need to hold each other up here, and I could say from experience that you'll never meet a more supportive, understanding, warm group of guys than the GYE club here. If/when you fall, and your count zeroes out again, it may be a way to let others know what happened without spelling it out and announcing it explicitly on the forums (though, if you could do that, it'd probably be a very effective strategy too).

Where is the chart that we check a box for each day we actively do something positive in furtherance of our recovery?

Cordnoy, it's usually there. I think if it gets reset to 0, it doesn't appear until there is 1 clean day. I could be wrong.
