If you want to give up so badly, then what actions are you taking to live well without it?

I am seeing a theropist and taking anti-depressents.

Oh. OK. Sounds good.

Hatzlocha amigo!

If you ever need another layer, there are other things u can use, too.

I am also going to ride my bike to and from school to get exercise. What else can I do?

Awesome!

I like working the steps and going to meetings with other addicts, having real (not username-based) relationships with other serious (but fun-loving and happy) recovering lust addicts, and praying to my own G-d...the one we call 'Elokai'. You may be doing all those things already in some way. Nu - hatzlocha chabibi!

Today is day two. I final got my self back on track with a clean day. It took a while because when I fall, I get depressed and when I'm depressed I fall. I hope to come back here tomarrow as happy as I am today.

Today is day three. I usually fall today so can everyone who looks at this post write something to me. Just saying "Hi" can be a big help for me. I once heard that the third day is the hardest day for smokers who are trying to quit. I guess it is the same for lust.

hi there!

any ideas how to keep yourself busy?

much success!!

Shlishi L'Miloh, like Avraham Avinu

Hang tight, it gets better.

KOMT!!!

some guy,
You can do it. Just take it one bit at a time. This is not day three, it is just another day, just another hour to get through.

Thanks for the support. I will try to ride my bike to clear my head, if I have to.

Bike rides are the awesomest! Enjoy!

Yeah.

i.e. Keep it simple.

We're all rooting (and davening) for you.

It's sort of how I understand:

One is too many and a thousand times is not enough

Like we can slip or even fall, but always get up try again, give it your best for this day, maybe just these 15 minutes (that's the thousand times), but never ever quit (the "one is too many").

You know, every day is similar, your mind slips, eyes look, we loose faith, you know - and a thousand times is not enough to go back to what ever works for you (i don't know: a small paper with your special prayer, a 12 steps list, a number you can call, ...). That's what we got to do, just go a thousand times back and back again.

The sky will surely clear and the sun will shine and then we will be able to stand with a sober smile. Just a moment, but it is a great feeling, you know it and we forget all the thousand times we needed to get there. But there it is.

Well, just wanted to say HI!!!

And also this: 15 minutes is huge and 3 days is wasome

All the best to You!!!

Today is day 4!!!! I did it. I am so excited. Thank you all for the constant support and for caring sincerly. Now that I've reached that goal, should I try to go for a week clean?
