I have found that to express a decision, helps me to understand where I am, and in the review I can craft my speech toward where I will go, there is a law of habit which I often use, E^I Expression increases Impression, since by the word spoken all things were created, it is a method which I always make to help my move in a better direction, I shall this day lean upon my Maker I choose to _____, rather than ________. Expression deepens impression, and action secure habit a bit at a time, a it bit abit habit, character, destiny.

Hi dear ayidel! Welcome aboard do you have a filter? When do you fall? What triggers a fall? The 1st step to becoming clean is understanding yourself and your triggers only then can you figure out how to get sober

btw sorry for being rough! But it's coming out of love because just "trying to really hanker down" is a great 1st step which i have been doing myself for close to 3 years. But now i'm realizing that it has to be followed by concrete steps.
Lots Of Love Yankel!

Important quote from Cordnoy
"The need is a perceived one. There has not been one reported case on these pages of a death occurrin' on account of not fulfillin' that need”

“I avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.”

"My recovery must come first so that everything I love in life doesn’t have to come last."

ayidel Current streak: 20 days OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 73 Karma: 8	Thanks for your words while the computer is part of the problem it isn't the only thing that has caused me to fall those can be as simple as visiting a used bookstore or flying by plane so i'll try to hanker down all around and yes filters is an important step for me

Filters are important for every Jew, but if you keep on fighting with your filter YOU WILL WIN. The thing we want to achieve here is to join our filter in the fight & win together.

Posts: 572 Karma: -9	what helps me from using such used books is thinking about the previous owner(s) who touched these books , who knows what body fluids are on these books especialy if its a dirty book ,sorry so graphic,youd probably soak your hands in purell for 24 hours after shaking the previous owners hand (and then immerse yourself in a mikva for the next 24 hours) ! im not joking!

Posts: 572 Karma: -9	"i" think to change yourself is the way to go , but when youre (im) drowning , it doesnt hurt to grab onto whatever you can to make the nisayon less ,like if someone falls with women ,R"L ,he should be working on changing himself ,but it doesnt hurt to tell himself OMG what am i doing, i could get aids C"V or some other s*xually transmitted disiese WHICH I KNOW HAS HAPPENED ,R"L.

First of all when you arrive here maybe reach out to some of us here.

Before you leave, daven it should go smoothly. Personally when i am in those situations either i take off my glasses or i lower them on my nose and only look out above them. Prepare something to think about - reviewing mishnayos is a good option, and earphones playing a shiur or music you like removes you from the environment. Hatzlocha.
