OK, your in an extremely vulnerable state right now. So do yourself a favor and forget about the fall for a week. Right now, you gotta look at your fall with a most cold and uncaring attitude. All your focus should be on now is not to fall again. All your guards are down now, because atzvus paralyzes all the strenghts of the neshamah. In a week you can think about what happened and where you need to work on in your inner being. Those thoughts however should be off limit to you for now.
You have to literally pretend this didn't happen if you want to minimize the blow. Just block everything out and ignore it for now, focus on how to block up all paths to falling again, and when your back to your right mind - you can do some soul searching and fix this thing.

I let myself fall saying that I was only starting out on 90 days so I can always start over. Then it hit me that if I think like this I will continue thinking like this FOREVER. So I am challenging those thoughts. The begins are hard as I do not have momentum. But I am embracing what I need to do.

Ah your such a holy yid. Sorry to hear about your recent falls. But as long as we take the good from the falls we can just turn around and tell them fell shmell. So just pick yourself up and wipe yourself off and cont going. Wishing you all the best and hatzlacha.

Hi I am checking in. Just wanted to touch base. I fell since my last post. BUT I am not broken. As we know we have to keep on trucking. I recently saw a thought that gave me allot of chizuk. Rabbi Moshe Sher worked for many years to help pass a law that the US goverment should fund Yeshivas. After it was passed the Supreme Court struck it down. Rav Hutner wrote Rabbi Sher a letter of chizuk. Rav Hutner writes that biggest zechus Klal Yisroel has is the Akaiyda. All the was is an act of trying. Avrahom did not succeed in shechting. He succeed in TRYING. That is what we all should aim for. Go for trying.

I am not very motivated to really do the hard work that it takes. I guess I am not in enough pain yet. I am trying to remember that if I don't get back on the wagon I will loose control of my life AGAIN. Any thoughts?

I think I am more on track than I was in the past couple of weeks.

Hi guys. Thanks G-d I am still clean. I think it has been around a week now. I also most thank DOV. That's right, G-d and his messenger Dov. Last week I was very down and I wanted to fall even without the web. BUT then I remembered what Dov always says- our problem is not with p*** or m****** rather it is with LIVING. We do not like (beat up on me for saying 'like' and not 'know how' but I think that our word choice is very important. We need to tell ourselves we CAN DO THIS) to deal with negative emotions so we hide in mind numbing activities.

I told myself I need to feel this and live with it. It was hard but I spent quite time with myself and felt what I was feeling. And guess what I am here to tell the tale.

I thank G-d that he sent me Dov.
