Clean. Baruch HaShem.
No touching or indulging in hirhurim.
I was in doctors office today though, and there was a frum secretary (like 3 of them, with one not as tznius..) around my age and I kept looking at her… tried not to though but mostly wasn’t matzliach.

I head home tomorrow after shiur.
This week I’ve been pretty burnt out, just sleeping all morning etc…
Hope Bain Hazmanim will rejuvenate me.

Im lying in bed now. And I have taiva to masterbate. I had an inappropriate dream last night which turned me on, and I indulged in some thoughts today.

On one hand, I’d love to just enjoy myself and masterbate.
But, I’m never gonna get anywhere in life if I keep doing that.
Its difficult and hard, but I’ll never grow unless I experience pain.
Im sick and tired of giving in to these stupid, petty, and meaningless taivos.

There is an entire life before me.
A life of Torah, Kedusha, v’Tahara.
And I’ll give it up for what? To make my penis feel good for a sec until I’m stuck needing to shower feeling gross and depressed?

No.

I will now try picking myself up, putting on tefillin, and then go to 2nd seder.

Sometimes it is just so hard not to masturbate. You actually start to feel the 'amazing' feeling of masturbating, but as we know it's a fleeting second and it's over, it's amazing how the YH tries convincing us to do it (and succeeds unfortunately, sometimes) and it's over a second later... 

Stay strong my friend!
You'll feel good you overcame the nisayon.

I hope you are out of bed by now too...

Hey guys,
Baruch HaShem Yisborach I am 4 days clean.
I head back home tomorrow after shiur.
Ill be home for a week and then go to camp.
I am determined to remain clean.

Here’s the gedarim in place:
1. Won’t sleep in room with any internet capable device (even filtered).
2. Won’t use an unfiltered device. And if I need to, I must alert HHM.
3. No touching myself and coming close to Masterbating.
- Failure to follow these 3 rules will carry a $100 knas.
Note: This doesn’t apply in the event that a genuinely forgot this agreement.

Thank You all, we will stay b’kesher B’ezras HaShem.

I’m home now. I feel taiva/ a “need” to masterbate.

I think to myself “where is this coming from?”

I realize now the source, I want to accomplish something.

And for some reason, masterbating is viewed in my subconscious like a noble achievement.
Same with watching bad stuff.

Feels like the only thing I’m “interested in accomplishing” is steeping myself in zuhama.
Not sure the pshat.
Or the eitza.

Please help.

Being home might just be a trigger. Subconsciously, your brain connects being at home with masturbating so you feel an urge when you go home.

I get this when I go to certain places, hear certain noises and the like that I associate with masturbating. It could be, but it doesn't have to be for any deep reason. here is where "urge management" (I just made that up) comes into play. Things like urge surfing or distracting yourself and making sure to keep productive are the way to go. 

Of course, there can be other things at play like anxiety or some other emotion that we may feel when we are in specific places. I have some negative associations with my parents home and sometimes when I visit I can get very tense. 

I think the trick is to be really aware and really honest. Don't overcomplicate your feelings and desires. There is nothing wrong with the desire to masturbate or watch porn, that just how you are wired. If you desire it, let it be just desire, it doesn't have to be some deep yearning for "connection with Hashem" that's manifesting in the form of watching sex on a screen. It could be from negative emotions, or just plain taiva, or both, all of which are normal. 

It's not noble, it never was and you know that it's not. You may want to accomplish, then feel bad for not accomplishing that thing, but no one can convince themselves that masturbating is "noble." 

You made a plan for when you are home, did you include goals, positive things to accomplish over the next week? This might be the most important of all. Make sure to make it realistic though. Some goals in davening (like davening before the zman), some goals in learning (at least 20 minutes, in the morning), some goals in helping out at home (doing errands for your mother) , and some projects that you always wanted to do.

Baruch HaShem Yisborach I am 7 days clean.
I ask HaShem every day for siyata dishmaya.
It’s motzei Shabbos, so I must be extra careful tonight.

Family is leaving the house for a few hours.
I would like to stay home and learn, but safer that I go with them so I won’t be home alone with the unfiltered stuff.
May HaShem enable me to learn when I return.

I am amazed by your strength do do 189 days and  most of all that you were able to get up again !!!
​This is definitely not a Relapse its a lapse.

remember that every clean day is yours forever, no difference what happened the next day or a day before.

Had a lot of taiva tonight.
So wasn’t able to focus on learning or anything.
So just spent a few hours watching North Korean defectors documentaries and other interesting stuff.

Baruch HaShem still clean. But not 100% safe.
I must now go to sleep…

I really hope I can be more productive tomorrow. I really need to learn more-preparing to give shiur this summer, bezras Hashem.
