As a nearly 30 year user, I with HaSHEM's help viewed my last bit of p--n last week. A new me began that day. I cant believe just how much "stuff" is out there to pull my eyes to look at. Forget the internet I went to CVS to get a prescription for my little girl and it was there. Its gona be hard but I can do it.

I was under the influence for 30 years myself.
Sounds like you have the right idea. CVS can be just as dangerous as the internet (or wherever we went to buy our stuff before the internet made it easier). I used to flip through the fitness mags at the drugstore for a quick fix. Always wanted to see more, though (and often did).

One day at a time.
Daven a lot. Bring Hashem into the struggle with you.

Interesting! I just minutes ago sent a PM to alexeliezer with the following insight:

B"H the good old nagging YH every now and then is a welcome reminder that we need to be constantly on guard.

Hatzlacha

(P.S. and I've been there done that for over 45 years.)

Thank you. That's exactly what I needed to hear right now.
