Don't bother, you'll overhear your chavrusa tell the Gabbai the name for the Misheberach, and you'll say "Hey I recognize you from somewhere"

We added a name. Meir Refoel Shimon Ben Bluma Roiza. 
Was away for a wedding these few days. Did well considering the lax situation at the wedding. Completely exhausted and overwhelmed. Back to yeshiva really early in the morning.

My uncle passed away, Baruch Dayan Haemes. Funeral tomorrow. Running around like crazy between the wedding, funeral, yeshiva, Shavuos.

So sorry to hear.

Please keep in mind any emotionally challenging time demands a little extra precaution from acting out.

Been doing ok lately. Had some strong urges and fantasies recently too. I've been getting much more time to speak with my rebbi about yeshiva and stuff. We still need to do a follow up about our conversation about my lust and masturbation. Doing optional summer zman which is for 1st half. Not sure about 2nd half yet. Should be fun.

Going back for summer zman tomorrow. Had 2 wet dreams over the weekend so I'm feeling the urges more often and stronger. Really stressed out about finding a job for 2nd half. It'll be really bad to just be home with nothing to do. 

I'm kind of waking up now and realizing that I'm not young and have no idea what to do with my life. I really don't want to be in school for the next 4 to 8 years. I trying to find shorter programs geared towards job placement but I'm coming up a little short. Really stressed about that. My father isn't too crazy about it. People around me don't know anything about me. Just listening to them saying, " you wouldn't like this" or " you don't want to do that", makes me frustrated. Just because all of my relatives went to school for many years and got high power high paying jobs doesn't mean anything for me. My father said that I'll probably need at least a bachelors degree for most things. He also spent a ton of years in school. 

I'm realizing that time is running out. I'm almost 20 and have no job or experience. I don't know what my parents assumed my plan was or wanted it to be but I have nothing now.

I hit 90 days again. I'm really not focusing on it. I don't want to fall into the "I can never fall now" thinking.

I can so relate.
The idea is to be motivated by the milestone without the false sense of security.

Mazel Tov on the milestone. May Hashem continue to help you succeed in sobriety and all areas of your life!
