The struggle is real, and it is with me daily. One good day, one bad day, one day I feel great, and nothing is a problem, and then the next, there is smut around every corner. I have not gotten into a rhythm yet. Each day is its own battle. I have heard for years about Alcoholics taking their sobriety "One day at a time."This is so very true in this battle. 

I am noting where I have challenges and try to steer clear; I know some of my weaknesses and try to minimize them. The YH is a crafty creature. He sees me making a little progress and steps up his attacks. He knows I am on the right path and is determined to stop me. I am heading back to Israel in a few weeks, and the YH knows that I come back from every trip so inspired that I am an absolute BEAST, and he can't touch me. This time I want to go into the trip on a roll; I want to hit the ground running with a good streak already going, but I need to calm down and just get through today and worry about tomorrow, tomorrow ...Thank all of you for the support, it means more than I can put into words

Hello Guys,

I think that it is time for me to move on from GYE. I have learned so much over the past few months and met some wonderful people. I have learned that I am not alone in this problem and can fix it and live a healthy and meaningful life. I have in no way "beat this," and the struggle is daily (sometimes hourly)... The reason for stepping away is that I find some of the forum posts extremely triggering. It is making my already delicate mind go crazy! I am not suggesting that anyone is posting something wrong. They are talking about their personal situation, and then my mind kicks into gear and sends me to places it shouldn't go. 

If I continue to struggle, I will return; I have filtered my phone and computer and set myself to have a good shot at beating this. I know that I could just stay away from the forums, but I think just staying away at this time is the right decision.

Best of luck to all of you, and THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for all your help and well wishes!!
