Can I join and be on both sides? Pretty pleeease?? (I initially thought it was only for people whose streak is currently less than 90...)

We would love to have you on our team, but wouldn’t it be incentivizing yourself to fall ? it would be a cheaper payout..

Paying my $150 bli neder.
Hatzlocha to everyone else
Lou

I hope you don't hate me. I'm not sure what has gotten into me today, but here goes. 

This sounds like dejection. Surrendering. Losing the will to fight.

Lou? You? You are the man who came in with swords flashing and guns blazing. A man who knew what he truly wanted and fought his way through hell and high water. You decided already to hell with all the crap. You know what life begs, you know what to do.

Is your goal to get up every day and gleefully try to see up some piece of trashs skirt? To rub yourself like some unemployed homeless man who fishes a New York Times out of the trash bin? Heck no! You are Lou of GYE! Hero and role model! The fighter! The warrior! The winner!

Enough of this feet dragging. You are not happy. I know it and you know it. Hard? Hard shmard. Take your circumstances and build you life upon it, not because of it.

I know I may be beating on you but I feel like you lost your drive. Stop it. Just stop it.

Pay your $150. Reaccept the challenge and become the man you want to be when you face death.

(Disclaimer. I may erase this post if I get too many messages that I am a mean and insensitive person. I promise it comes from a place of love and solidarity. )


Thank you very much for the outpouring of support (wrath?) from all ends. Just to clarify my posts were very brief last night because it was literally the middle of the night and I forced myself to post here and in my thread to be accountable right away.
That being said,I am not going anywhere. I am still here. I am not recommitting to this exact challenge right now(or at least not until my debt is paid off). However,I am working diligently on a plan for myself beH. My plan may differ from what is typically done on here,but I obviously need to change something up.
Thank you 
Lou

Thank you Bm263 for keeping track. I'd really appreciate if you can continue. 

To clarify. This challenge has no time in its. One can join whenever they'd like and start their 90. Welcome all new members. Welcome IMG!

Re: Challenge Accepted!!! 03 May 2021 21:23 #367902

When we all make it to 90 I'll go through all of tehillim just remind me when it happens!
Think about how good you'll feel if you say no to desire and compare that to how bad you'll feel if you say yes.

Desire is unique in the way that it is never fulfilled -  if you give in the desire comes back even more powerful in just a few days. Telling yourself that its ok because this is really the last time doesn't work because you are just adding new images to your head that will cause future falls.

The Joy of triumph over the yetzer hara is worth the effort it takes to win. It IS worth it! Keep fighting!

Wow just saw this beautiful initiative headed by our resident Baalei Madreiga.
Personally I am not prepared to join this challenge. I have my own personal goals that I have for now and am hopeful b'eras Hashem to achieve.

I remain however deeply inspired by this Ruach of Tahara which has swept the cheers, and I wish each one of you individually and all of us collectively, much hatzlocha!

Grant said (on my thread: square one) that I can join on slightly different terms. (I can't afford the $150)
I'm going to join, starting with $50, and I the $2 rule applies. (Which would make my maximum payout $100) (Grant please correct me if I've misunderstood you)

Also is there a way to pin bm263's post?

Whether you can afford the money or not is purely academic- since BEZ"H you WILL be staying clean.

Looking forward to staying b'kesher : )

Ok, but I have to be realistic in what I can pay up

I think that may require assistance from a moderator.
