Hi,
Baruch Hashem even though I have fallen in the somewhat recent past, I have been doing very well recently and have had nice long streaks of being clean. The Taphsic method has worked very well for me (after a few tries of finding the correct shavuah). I had an over 30 days streak, my longest in a while (I actualy went most of last year clean, but then stupidly fell back down the hole), however I sadly fell 14 days ago, but I have gotten back up with a new shavuah and have been clean since. Bh, I feel that as long as I make sure I am always under the shavuah I figured out for myself with the Taphsic method that I will never let my self fall (I fell 14 days ago because it was the day my shavuah finished and I didn't renew it, and my phone broke, so I got a replacement phone with no filter, and I am sure you can figure out the rest...).
So hopefully, bezras hashem, I am on the right path.
However, there is one thing that I want to know if anyone has any advice to help deal with.
The Tayva and Hirhurim. I feel like even after going a month without any serious shmiras anayim issues I still have so much tayvah and constatnt hirhurim. It will probably be a while before I get married, and as a single guy I just always have urges that I have to suppress and it is extremely difficult. Recently, It has been very constant for me, more than I can ever remember. It used to be that I would get hirhurim or urges and they would go away, but now I feel like I have serious urges for many hours a day for many days a week.
Anyone have any advice?
Thank you!
