fell on shabos at a shabbaton
everything else was nice BH

We can choose to remember to surrender, if we want to (that's a response to your last post).

What did you learn from your fall?

fell again last night
i have learnt that my urge is sometimes too powerful

he guy cheer up,tomorrow it another day!
just b/c someone fails today does not preclude succeding tomorrow!

I won last night-  b'chasdei Hashem!
I won't say what strategy I used but it worked, BH.
each day is a new day

A win for you = a win for all of us!

We are partners in your struggle!

Congratulations!!!!

Fantastic! One day at a time, keep on going!

I would caution against saying that "sometimes my urge is too powerful." Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but for me, that would leave an opening for me to tell myself, "well, what could i do? The urge was too powerful this time!"

Unless you mean that since the urge is so powerful, you need to find ways of entirely avoiding temptation.

Yep, I certainly agree with SB on this one. The phrase "too powerful" is granting far too much power to the pitiful little y'h. The team of U+HKB'H is plenty powerful for victory -- it's just a question of how to harness all that amazing power. "My name is G-d. I will be piloting the aircraft today. Thank you, but I will not be needing your help. Enjoy your flight."

That doesn't sound like "too powerful" to me....

You are SO lucky to be co-pilot with such an awesome (no-rahh) partner.... I guess we all are....

Powerful, schmowerful, you are thinking too much. Just chalk it up to Chasdei Hashem every single time and move right along. What are you afraid you will lose out on? A medal you might actually deserve will not get pinned on your davening jacket? Boohoo.

If things are getting better, then things are getting better, that's all. Today will be over soon and tomorrow will be here - and you will be as much in His hands then as you are today.

In other words, "Hi there!" 

thx everyone
how du u know i wear a davening jacket?

What sex addict doesn't wear a davening jacket?! Es iz past nisht!

;D ;D ;D ;D

mines got blue and green stripes in accordance with my minhagim.

cool teddy- mine is brown velvet
i fell last night at 5:30 am. i want to reveal everything and i hope this isnt a ttrigger for anyone. i tend to wake up at this hour shall we say 'ready'. i think physiologically this is kind of common. tell me if im wrong.
I need to (at least try to) ask Hashem to remove this obstacle and let me sleep thru the night totally without these distractions.
back to last night, i pushed it off for a while, but i nvr got back to sleep totally bec my readiness did not go away. i couldnt handle it anymore and gave in. my roomate is asleep and doesnt notice.
IYH my hishtadlus of pushing off and my asking Hashem to let me sleep thru the night will help.
again my phone is there for me to call or text someone but i just dont do it at this point- either im lazy or i am interested in pushing it off any longer or something else.

no excuses for myself , but why does YU not have filyers on their lib computers!!??
Ribbono Shel Olam- its such a nisayon!
