It took me a number of tries to get to 14/15 days clean, I've finally reached 30 days clean and as I can almost expect, I lost the streak. I guess it'll take a couple of shots at 30 until I can head on to the next level which I think is 50 I thank Hashem that I got this far and trust that he will help me climb further and closer to him. I slipped up by looking at some amazon advertisements with immodestly dressed women that were displayed on the amazon page I was looking at. I quickly closed out of the page but the YH kept nudging me to go back for another look. I didn't summon enough willpower and chose to give in. I wish I hadn't. The experience was not the true thrill the YH was showing me there. It was bland and worthless. May Hashem forgive me and us all and redeem us once and for all.

P.S. I wonder if Hashem's clearing out the big cities through riots etc, i.e. Yidden are leaving New York City in droves, is in preparation for nuclear war. The large cities are said to be on Iran's hit list Hashem Yerachem. Also, before the Mabul started, was it Mesushelach? that died so that he doesn't witness the mabul. I wonder if Chas Vshalom this virus which took away many of our elders & leaders serves the same purpose in preparation of the final part of Milchemes Gog Umagog. I saw in the sefer "The End Illuminated" by Rabbi Yisroel Moshe Sorotzkin, that the Chafetz Chaim had said that Milchemes gog umagog will be in three parts: World war 1, World war 2 & approximatly 70 years later will begin the last part. The 70 year mark was in 2015, the year of the Iran nuclear deal which practically gives them a path to the bomb. Some food for thought & hissorirus to teshuva & tefillah that Hashem help us all through these difficult times.

:יהודה בן תימא אומר
 הוי עז כנמר

וקל כנשר
ורץ  כצבי
וגבור כארי
! לעשות רצון אביך שבשמים


I NEED YOU!!!
I'm flying in the darkest of dark
in the storm of all storms
please light my way!
Help me rise above temptation 
& come closer to you!
I need YOU like nothing else
& only you!
Only connecting with you will fill my souls yearning,
for all else is peasant food for the prince,
saltwater for the thirsty!
Please help me overcome
the distractions, obstructions & fearsome illusions,
I know it's you hiding behind the terrifying smokescreen,
testing, awaiting, patiently, with endless love,
one greater than the capacity of my imagination.
You are eternal, I don't exist,
bring me close, to cleave to you,
so that I can too last forever by returning to you.
Bring us home, to the land of our soul,
and rid the universe of all evil,
which is simply the "absence" of you,
so that we can feel & see you clearly,
Ki Bayin U'vayin Yiru, B'shuv Hashem L'Tziyon!

Yes. Had too many falls on Amazon and all the other shopping apps. Way too many (Including Prime Video). After months and months of making resolutions that never lasted or searching for other things under the guise of innocence, knowing and hoping to "bump" into stuff and then make believe I was frustrated with Amazon, I removed them from my phone and only use them on a device with an image painting filter.

It was brutal to give up. It was more brutal not to.

Shalom choshevah chevra, 
I also have trouble with amazon etc, I agree with Grant, I have found that  after looking at just a couple videos on you tube that it triggred the whole day afterwards where I went from a 0-1/10 in lust generally to a 5/10. This was yesterday, now I know that I have to be patient and wait for the lust to go down again and just keep focused on loving and serving Hashem. for me the lust can go from 0/10 to 10/10 in a few minutes. Unfortunately on sites like this it is best to cut them out completely as they are the trigger to the downward spiral.
