For me, the most helpful thing when I started was reading through people's threads and seeing how they began in a similar place to me and learned how to break free. I learned that many people shared similar struggles as I did and they discussed some of the strategies and shift of mindset (that's probably more important than strategies) that was helpful to their improving and recovery.

Just checking in, I have managed to cut out a few triggers and everything is going very smoothly. I am worried though, that things are too easy does anyone have words of advice?

Take this time to strengthen yourself for when the going gets tough

Thank Hashem that it's easy right now! It's ok if things are easy, don't make it hard for yourself!

Best of luck, I am new myself and feeling slightly hopeful for the first time in years 

hi gut vouch to all, today I was taking a nap and while I was sleeping I had a real vivid dream and In my dream I saw some very inappropriate sights and I was getting very aroused and I remember thinking to myself you will break ur streak in my dream but couldn't control myself and wound actually waking up as I was motzei zera.
First of all I want to know how I can prevent something like this from happening to me 
second I am very torn as I have been working very hard and my streak is 65 days which is the longest its ever been and I'm not sure if this is considered a fall or not. On one hand It was in my subconcious, on the other hand , what happened happened. also I keep telling myself maybe I could have controlled myself even though it was a dream it felt very real which makes it feel like a fall
lmk what u guys think.
