Thank you so much to everybody for replying. I forgot how good it feels to know I have company in my struggle and friends to cheer me on.

Day 1 is finished. I stayed clean. Now hoping I can make it through Day 2.

Hi DB, I'm happy to see that u signed off 1 day, that's a big step in the start of the long way u will be soon undergoing, u will be laughing at only being able to pass 1 day, hope u r finishing day 2 now, just try to live with an awareness of hashem being around u & he needs u back in his army , u r a very precious yid, & we are all proud of the fight u r putting up, we all know what it means , its VERY hard, but remember "lfim tzara agra" V'nemon hi baal mlachtachu .... The best reward will be that u will gain back ur sanity
Hatzlucha bro!

Frumfiend: Thank you so much for getting in on this conversation. I can really use everybody's support and I gain a lot from your encouragement.

JIP: You keep me going strong. Thank you for sticking around to give your chizuk. You're a great yid and you should have only hatzlacha in your growing relationship with Hakadosh Boruch hu. Thank you

And one more thing... 2 days. Feeling good.

I hope to keep on trucking all the way to the kadosh 90-day mark.

My Friends,

The bad news is: I fell. At first I slipped - and allowed myself to slip as long as it wasn't a full-out fall. THEN, I slipped again. On the third time, allowing myself to slip brought me down completely. This is a bad move. I once read something on the forum that said, "Don't try fighting the yetzer harah once you get into the ring, just make sure not to enter the ring at all." I'm clearly not much of a boxer and so I think I need to focus my efforts on keeping out of the ring from now on.

Now for the good news: I will be clean for today (Day 1), I will be clean again tomorrow (Day 2) and 90 days from now - b-siyatah dishmayah - I won't even remember what it felt like in the ring!

I clearly need the help of everyone here. I am really trying to stay positive. I really want this - the problem is that sometimes, for reasons I cannot figure out, I forget how important this is to me. Any insight, as always, will help me get through the day.

You asked for insight.

Do you want to see the insight clearly?

Very clearly?

As clear as HD?



Then you will need to use HinDsight.

After all, they say: Hindsight is with 20/20 vision!


Remember how you felt afterwards when you followed the Yetzer's advice.


Even more so, remember how good you felt when YOU DID NOT DO AS THE YETZER HORA WANTS!!!!


Which is better? Which did you enjoy more? Which do you prefer?

Yoesf Hatzadik, tell me the truth, do you sell flat-screen tv's?

that is a great insight. we have to remember that  we  don't  want  to  do  this  garbage. the ruach shtuss of the aveira blinds us in the moment of decision.
