I m back on the forum, and would like to stay.

Unfortunately, the reason I am here again is... a fall (not the season!)

No doubt that I am in a MUCH better place than I used to be, but the humility coming from being humbled by my YEtzer is palpable.

I can't trust myself even after a LONG clean streak.

I seem to have forgotten about the need to post, even tho' I'm feeling fine. Because when I am not feeling fine, I will have the habit and immediately use the tools here to clean up.

I DID feel myself slippin beforehand, I have little signs...

So - what works for me is to keep posting,
In the past I was a bit disappointed about not getting feedback, so I will write for myself, and anyone else who listens in.

However i have a few questions that may be helpful to discuss, for u and others here on the forum. 1. how long was your recent streak? 2. What have you been doing that helped you stay clean? 3. what happened now that you fell/ (i guess that you wrote already the answer, that you weren't posting here) Feel free to answer or not answer.

Keep on trucking ChaimChaim.

Don't feel down on yourself for falling, falling is inevitable especially in this area.

The challenge is to get back up.

Relapses and falling are inevitable, the challenge is getting up.

Tzaddikim are the not the ones that don't fall, they are the ones that fall constantly and get up constantly.
