Thanks.

Picked myself up after a big fall.
Wrote about it on my 90-day forum.
Not trying the taphsic shavua just yet...if at all.
Unlike Shua, I've had a pretty eventful day...
and had a great (super-long) conversation with someone,
that I think was quite productive.

Hi Yosef Sorry about your fall. (you already got some quiet condolence )

Please tell us how it did happen and how your working with it (we should know for ourselves).
Seems that your not in the grieving lane, just in rebuilding lane, and that is Huge!!!!!!!

Keep up and posted.

people complained that I shouldn't "double post"...
which is why I simply said that I wrote it all out on my 90-day forum thread.

Best if you can provide a link.

Yosef, upset about the fall, especially after your encouraging monopoly post. 

Ive been listening to The Fight by Rabbi Shafier, I think you would like it.

All gains are gains that stay forever. Whatever good I did, however much progress I've made,
whatever efforts I've put in to improve are all precious to HaShem and don't get lost or forgotten.
As far as R. Shafier's shiurim, I've written extensively about them on my 90-day thread.
page 9 and page 18.

I don't know if that link just goes to the last post, but I wrote 3 posts about the fall,
and 1 post responding to Cord.

Thinking of going on to the 12 Steps as well, see here for the full post.

MMy post for today is that I fell starting about an hour and half ago till about ten minutes ago. I just basically said I'm not interested and just fell. For the future although I'm stopping again for now, I need to think about something effective to take its place and about what my shvua will be. Otherwise it's too much to write right now (obviously I don't have time now that I wasted it falling). 

Well, I need to plan for the future.i didn't even fight the urge that hard before I gave in. I think that it's a more general problem that I have that I am impulsive and don't generally not do things that I want to do right away. This is with many things and I am going to try Yosef's advice to me which was (slightly modified) try to do ten times a day not doing something that you want to impulsively do. Examples for me are use a siddur by davening. Go to shul for maariv and a zillion other things. I'm going to learn better self control for the next two weeks till I start struggling again. 

The fact that I only struggle now after two weeks is largely attributable to our group among other things. But for now it's not like I even feel like falling again. I failed my test and got my drug and now I need to be more prepared when the next test comes along.

Group196 is going through a tough time. Very depressing

AAgreed, a shout out to everyone in the group, does anyone have any ideas of ways or things that we can implement as a group that will help us all? I'm not trying to push anything and I won't be insulted if you tell me to go jump in a lake. I just fell basically for the simple reason that I just wasn't interested in exercising self control at that time and I haven't worked on true self control in years to be honest. Also don't have any Seder for learning. But just got chavrusa with another gye guy starting tomorrow. I'm also not watching any movies unless with my wife for the next week and will repost then when I have to renew it. If I hesitate please remind me. I really want this I just get lazy and run out of steam and pop there goes impulsivity

MMarkz, any ideas as an outsider of a group something or other?
