chevrah I need a round of applause! I am home alone a day after pesach (used to be my hardest time) for a few hours and I am strongly overcoming my yetzer hora. I could just see him plotzing. but that's the definition of 'rigzu v'ol techtu' have a fight and win.
I am a big show off and love kuvod but here its to my benefit, I am so strong cause I want to show off here on gye! I don't know what I would've done without this chevra.

Keep your eye on the rear view mirror!

Yes you get the round of applause!!!

But please don't expect the showing off to help long term at all. That will pass at some point. But learning how to really be sober just gets better as time goes on.

KUTGW!!!

You feel you have achieved and rightly so. Bravo brave soldier. However in my experience I have found the the more subtle approach of just guiding/blowing/directing the temptation away and saying to myself this is simply not for me - the preferred approach.
Your fighting head on with the biggest bully in town.
Better to just emotionally move to a different place and let him stay where he is without your attention.

WO WEOW HASHEM IS PROUUD OF YOU

thanks for the answers i really hear what you are saying, with the help of the chevra we will get there.
