StrugglingGuy	OK. So I am headed on a trip for abt 2 weeks I dont know how much access I will have. IYH I will be able to surrender my lust and zchus helping people come closer to Judaism (this trip) as well as being around other guys I will have a reprieve from urges and if I do, I humbly ask Hashem to help me fight thru. Take care everyone! -sg

silentbattle Current streak: 1628 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 3734 Karma: 15	Hatzlocho! Do you call people even when you're not feeling weak? That can make it easier to call when you need it. Be there for other people, too? Also, it can be very difficult when you're in the moment of weakness - but it might be easier to make a call a few steps before that. Do you think that could work?

And remember that we don't say "one day at a time" in order to be clean for the rest of our lives (although we'd like to stay clean). We say ODAAT because that's all we can do. i can only be clean today. While it's still today, I can't be clean tomorrow, because, well - it's not tomorrow yet!

StrugglingGuy	I just spoke to maccabee on the phone and he told me that the key to the 'calling people when you need to' stradegy is to cold call friends (on the site) regularly, in the middle of the day when you have no challnges. Thus, when you need the, you'll be used to calling them... God willing I will implement this into my fight. good shabbos everyone.

silentbattle Current streak: 1628 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 3734 Karma: 15	I agree. Plus, you feel like you're more of a real friend to them, so it doesn't feel as weird to call them when you need it.
