Thanks. Awww shucks



Not feeling well. Sneezing constantly in the Bais Medrash. So taking advantage of not starting until tomorrow

Speaking of the Beis Medrash, I wrote something from Rav Fishel Shechter on this site's Beis Medrash thread. Just don't sneeze on the screen.

SSorry for the short post but I'm busy now so I can't write a longer one. I slipped today farther than previously and I'm considering it a fall. However, this fall is way smaller than previous falls. Therefore, I am still keeping track of my 18 day streak and am gonna count both. I am not confident in myself enough that I will bounce back if I merely consider it a regular fall. I'm nervous that I'll fall like I previously have and not stay stopped at what I've seen and look at more and worse stuff and instead of quickly looking away....

I'm gonna keep everyone here posted as I get better. Follow up post tomorrow as another post right now is probably a waste of time. I find that I need time to calm down and then get going again. But don't worry, I'm not falling further. Honestly, I have to thank everyone here for making my struggle so much easier. I didn't even worry about it till around 3 weeks in. But when I struggled this time I didn't reach out. I was embarrassed. However, I made up with one of my partners a fence for future...
Gotta go TT everyone later

There's a baby in my bath and I'm trying not to throw it out

WS,
You never showed me where the GYE shmutz is.

This story is amazing:

GGye shmutz!?

Did I miss part of the conversation?

Isn't that an oxymoron?

I fell eventually. However I learned alot about myself during these 18 days to now incorporate them into my struggle. I'm moving the struggle earlier to slipping. I slipped beginning a week ago (I'm not sure of the details but I wrote myself a note in my habitbull app). After slipping for a week and having this slip I just threw the baby out with the bathwater. I put up new fences now earlier and am going to make my fight not to slip. I'm still proud that I made it 18 days. That's great - longer than my last streak

I'm sorry to hear that.
How did it happen?
I think it might be instructive to know how the yetzer hara beat you, 
so we can learn from its tactics how not to let it win again.

Good job getting up again. And not wallowing in the mud.

Cordnoy,
Yes you did, but I will not throw WS under the bus

Before reading the forum, I emailed Shua after he told me he fell and basically told him to focus and his success which he basically did which was similar to Yosef's last line.

Shua and everybody,

I stand corrected. Judging at the time stamps of these posts, it seems GYE is following GMT, the time zone of one of my favorite posters in 196 (Kotz V'dardar Taztmiach Lach)

So perhaps you can update your fall as soon as it is midnight GMT, 2 hours later than Israel time.

Some people set their second clock to Israel time, but members of GYE may set it to GMT.

If so, Singularity and anyone in EY subtract 2 hours. I would insult my GMT friend's intelligence (so long as he does not identify himself, will not throw under the bus).I know he can do the grueling math to calculate GMT time zone from his time zone in GMT.

EST people add 5 hours.

A leap second will be added on December 31, 2016 at 11:59:60 pm local London time. (so you will have to wait an extra second -- sorry)

I think it works with the jewish calendar and nightfall in your local time zone. I can check later. Perhaps a GYE insider can leak this highly guarded secret information?!

Shua
sorry and upset about your fall. 

posted a new Rav Fishel Shechter story and insight in the Beis Medrash forum.

Let's all have a great day today!
