Back on Track

Thanks gevurah. Yes my wife has known for a few years and has been the main support behind me getting started in recovery. I realize now that I have been ble to grow to a point where I can build myself as well she continues to help me in this and I'd never be where I am in reocvery if not for her believing in me. The issue is that I've been technically sober as in not m* for 165 days now. (Before that I had stretsches of sobritwy since janaury of this year as well.

I'm busy making the door of my sukkah bigger so my truck can fit in ;D

BTW, is a truck that is taller than 20 Amos kosher?

Back on Track	Aha! I should have figured that out myself. We enjoyed a gevaldige date, esrog and willow leaf chulent sprinkled with a dash of myrtle. Bh our sukka stayed standiung bec. We crazy glued it togeether so tightly. One of our neighbors was just as fastidious in making his sukka strong where he built it on his porch. The only problem was that whule his sukka stayed standing, his porch blew away!

Back on Track	Thanks. I hit 180 over yom tov. This was very special to me as it was 2x90 (for those who cpuldnt figure the math right). My 90th day was absolute- hell on earth for me. I made it through sober bh, and remained so till now... But always felt a bit bad that I didn't get to enjpy that day. The real trick though is to enjpy every day now....

AlexEliezer OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 1933 Karma: 55	BOT, 180 without m* is awesome! Don't settle for this, though. Keep whittling away at ALL lust -- sights, thoughts, actions. Are you ready to commit to giving up lust? It's actually easier that way.

Back on Track

U can say that again. I am trying to completely eradicate p* from my life right now. I can't say I am able to undertake the task of battling all my lustful thoughts some of which involve my wife etc... But I can say that being pornless since Rosh Hashana has given me a real boost in this area. As we know, the less u feed it the less hungry it is. I pray that w/ time I can not 'miss' p* as I still do. I say this cuz, although I have a desire, I don't feel my life is lacking satisfaction w/out m*. (With G's help of course). But p*.... I still feel a lack w/out. I am trying to deal with this and see how/what steps to take to grow in this area. Speaking w/ my wife and recovery buddies seems to hild a lot of the answers.... Thanks for dropping by my thread alex.
