Having a really rough week with urges. Haven't been on this forum in years. Trying to do anything I can to prevent things from crossing a line.

I see a few people have read this post. It's not so interesting, I know. If anyone would be so kind as to reply so I can continue to engage here and stay away from drek I would be most grateful!

I'm a beginner, not really a mentor on here. All that i can say is that it worth it! The greatest feeling in the world is being in control of yourself. Think about how proud g-d must be of you. If someone has a wife that loves them with all their heart, and some random offered them a night out, they would say; are you crazy?!? The same with g-d; when you would only grasp how much g-d loves you, more then any love in the world, how can you cheat on him? 
Pray to g-d, without his help man can not control his urges. 
Think long term: where do you want to stand in six monthes around?
weigh the short term relief vs the long term satisfaction, is it worth to give up your streak.
Hope this helps.
Good luck on your journey. 

Seniors on here, please correct me if I'm wrong about anything.
With love and appreciation, Yosef the Tzadik. 
If procrastination were a sport, i'd be the undisputed international champion!

My friend, we are here for you. It's kedai to have a connection with people for exactly such a time, so you can reach out and get some personal chizuk (and hugs). But even if you haven't established such connections, it's not too late. You can reach out to some guys here.
