Hi 8th, i don't believe i've ever posted on your thread before.
The only way to recover from a fall is to keep going. I used to binge after i fell. I'd be so upset at myself that i jsut gave up for a while. sometimes that would last a whole week!!
but one of the most important things GUE has taught me was how to get up from a fall.
This menuval is disgusting and tricky and he really knows how to get to us. so after he gets us to fall, he convinces us that the fight is worthless. BUT IT"S NOT!!! every second of every day that you stayed clean is such a zchus for you! as R' Bardichev says, "fell shmell" the most important thing right now is to get up and start counting again.
i found that it helped to make gedarim for myself after i fall. for example, if it was online, i add that website, or that keyword, to my k9 block list. or i make a kabbala that before i fall i'll post on the forum, or call my sponser.
things like that really help for the future.
hatlocho rabba!
and remember- if you get depressed now, you're once again falling into the YH's trap. so
