Ok it’s a little painful to write this, but today will be Day 1. I wasn’t strong enough and I gave into my urge and I messed up.
That’s it, moving on!!!!

Hey bro, your a good guy!

I know it's very painful but dust yourself off and get back in there. Your doing great, keep it up.

I can't wait to see day 2. 

How are you celebrating 42 days buddy? And yes, it may be painful to admit, but by doing so we stop ourselves from disappearing and binging. Getting back up is a big chizuk to many silent forum participants who want to see "is it really possible to continue that momentum after a fall?"

1 day clean behind me B”H

so as i was writing my comment/question about your "42-day-celebration," i decided to at least look what were you doing these 42 days besides counting (which dov may say is simply holding your breath). i saw that beforehand you were gonna look at the f2f program (which sadly, i looked into yesterday - google search came up with something else) and mussar; those are good things. how did they work out? in my opinion, which is worth less than that of a centipede, celebration of days on its own means almost nothing (in the big scheme of life) unless it was with a plan of action of some sort. regardless, keep on plugging!

and one more thought about this; if the one day clean is "behind you" - it will remain that way - behind you; if, however, that one day was part of a program/plan/method - it can then be in front of you.

similar to a sports streak - if a batter happened to get hits in 56 games in a row, that has no bearing whatsoever on game 57 unless he learned something from those games (which he didn't - it's simply a luck of the statistics for a good hitter) - yes, he probably is an excellent hitter and i'm sure his batting average is pretty good as well, but if his batting average during those 56 games was .362, and someone else's batting average was .385, the latter is a better hitter.

don't get me wrong; i'm not here bashing the 90-day program like others; it is a good tool when used properly - i am simply asking: how are you using it? thanks man

@Trouble
It seems like you're very much for having a good plan and working accordingly, which makes a lot of sense. 
Can you PLEASE enlighten us with more details and some ideas on how to create and execute such a plan?

i'm by far not an expert; i have written about my past - especially in my response to captain - that was lately, but there are so many methods, so many mentors, so many suggestions - it needs to be a plan of action that will be productive.

As the saying goes: “Failing to plan is planning to fail”



I don’t believe anyone sets out planning to fail, but sometimes priorities (too many) or time (not enough) or self-discipline (lack of) results in our failing to plan which can make all the difference between victory and loss.



Having a strategy is about making sure you are in the driver’s seat with a clear vision of where it is you want to get to, why you want to go there, and how you’re going to turn your vision into reality
