WOWOWOWOW.

Thank you @markz for bringing this thread to life. I'd totally neglected it but I'm really glad to have it back alive and updated thanks to your thoughtfulness. So firstly small correction... I'm 18 now, so just thought I'd keep you up to date on that .

Second, I've been on a break from routine, in a house with an unfiltered open internet top of the line computer. I would never suggest testing yourself like this but Bisyata Dishmaya somehow I'm still afloat - I've kept clean and stayed strong, and leaving here tomorrow. Thank you Hashem.

I guess thirdly is just a check in. BH I'm doing well - though maybe not well enough, being a little over confident - that's when the YH usually steps in. So here's my written resolve to restrengthen and be more protective over my eyes, and IYH to KOT. Thank you Hashem for all You do, for all Your help, for giving me challenges and helping me overcome them.



Since the forum is nowadays outvoted with Bachurim, I feel it's good to bump this thread especially page 5

Enjoy

I just posted, but I'd like to keep my personal thread alive so I'm touching base here too. 

Basic synopsis of life at the moment is that bh I'm still going strong in the clean department, but really battling with an urge to watch things I shouldn't. So please hashem help me with that.

Hello long lost friends.

Been a while since i checked in on here. 

The majority of my journey is a success story, I've been clean (from intentional z"l) since last tisha bav. In that respect i honestly never believed I'd come this far and I'm amazed that even when you think you'll never make it there really is a turning back from addiction. I honestly do not even consider or have the urge to masturbate for months already now.

Porn is a whole different story. Bh in the time I'm clean I've not gone to watch on purpose either. But guarding my eyes is still incredibly difficult. So much so that my y"h knows where to look and I just stopped myself two or three minutes in to searching social media subconsciously hoping to see what I shouldn't. So I've run straight here to cry for help. The taivah is so incredibly strong and in that respect I am i desperate need of chizuk. So please leave some advice on steering back on track, I'll open this again in the morning and would love some chizuk.

Thank you guys

 



Brother

We are not lost (I hope)

Pray tell me, how's life doing on your side of the world since we last spoke

Life's good?
Life sucks?
Life's good - everyone else sucks?
Life's good, everyone's good, porn is good?

Life's good. 
Everyone's good. 
Porn pretends it's good.
Porn is a lyin' *@%$*

So yeah. In general bh very optimistic about life and struggles. But temptation is hard and I'm fighting through it.

Same place bro,  clean from zl and porn since elul and yet still struggling with my eyes wandering at times. 
Need to stop going on certain "innocent" sites for months now,  i know they are potential hazards on them and yet i still go on them. 

It is very hard to kick.

Let me know what works.

Hi yesode, i know that you wrote that you are still struggling with the eyes (like guard your eyes), but i wanred to point out that being clean from zl and bad sites since elul is a major accomplishment, so mazel tov!

HELLO!
Been a while.
No headspace or thoughts to write like I used to update - no long schmooze or thoughts from me now.
But very quickly:

ONE YEAR.
MAAAZZAAALLL TOOOVVVVVV!!!!!!
It's exactly one year since i re-logged onto here and decided to come clean. It's not been perfect but it basically changed my life and its been the best year for staying clean and rewiring my brain. Boruch hashem.

Thank you all of you, mazal tov and thank you Hashem!!

Mazal Tov,
Keep it up for many long years with one day at a time.
 *  NO, It's not all or nothing, just every bit counts!
 *  I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try.
 *  Being curios made me lust and get into trouble.
