Chazak ve'amatz SB. Keep on noticing Hashems love for us.

You are a inspiration. Keep it up.

Thank you. And I was thinking that I should add something - as long as I remember to focus on the good things, and the fact that there really IS so much good in my life, I'm a step ahead.

Hashem put me in the situation to do the job i gotta do. I gotta let him help me, too. I stick to the plan, I'm in good shape.

thats even better sb! well done! every so often i think that Hashem gives us difficult situations to remind us that we rely on Him. That's why He brought the situation on us, to remind us. As soon as we remember and internalise it and do something practical to increase our awareness of our dependancy on Him, there is no reason left for the test.

My prayer is, that your avoidah now should be enough to put an end to the tough situation.

Amen! Thank you.

That sounds good.

Had a realization today. Not a fun one, but important nonetheless. I was walking down the street and noticed a woman, and suddenly, Lust-y thoughts started taking over. And I realized that my insanity is always two steps away. Always.

And that means that I need to make sure that I have people I can call and reach out to, one step away.

Reaching out and calling can be fun.

Do it with a bren..

And recovery is just 12 steps away.

(Not to say that everyone needs the 12 steps, but I couldn't resist).

Maskim - good line!  ;D

HM - very true. Here, it's not just about reaching out, but also having that available all the time.

Need to remember that even when things seem pretty crummy, Lusting will only, Only, ONLY make things worse. Even Lusty thoughts. Anything other than living in the now, and doing the best I can, will only make things more difficult.

Sigh.

It's probably a sign that I'm getting needy, right, when I reply a bunch of times to a newbie without any response at all, and I feel annoyed?

That's the beauty of this place.  So many crazy people.

I'm finding myself in a bad place right now, fear and indecision have pretty much taken over my life.

I'm working to make sure that in the area of Lust, at least, I stay focused.

I hope this doesn't mean you are staying focused on lust!
