It's starts out as "so rewarding", then it becomes "so difficult", then it gets back to "so rewarding"!
Stick it out to 90 days, you'll see for yourself!

Read the attitude handbook for lots of great Chizuk and good attitude tips.

Day 19, and I'm barely trudging along.
It's that after the 1st 14 or something days when I had nary a temptation nor a subconscious dirty thought, images that were buried for years suddenly swam up.  What's also a bit alarming is that what at Day 14 seemed as a fairly reachable goal -- the 90 day milestone -- suddenly seems to be almost impossible now.
So far so good, though.

Don't think about the big 90. Focus on the fact you have 18 (chai) days behind you.

Take it one day at a time. Just for today, don't look or act out.

90 days is impossible for an addict. Even 2 days is. All we can do is ask Hashem for 24 hours of sobriety. Just like he gave us the Maan in the dessert each day anew, so that we should learn to trust Him. So it is with this. Ask Hashem for help and decide that no matter what happens, even if your tuches falls off, you won't act out today!

Day 20:
Thanks for the chizzuk, Holy Chevrah.
Today was a much better day than the last couple of days. Was in JFK and saw a couple of triggers, but didn't dwell on them and moved on. . .
My strategy is now to focus to finish Elul clean in preparation for R"H, then take it from there (Rosh HaShanah to Yom Kippur, and so on and so forth). Makes it more obtainable. . .

Okay, Chevrah, I made the move. Changed my username to my real name. Shmilu it is.

Thanks, Noorah.
And Mazel Tov on your reaching the great milestone of 90 days B'Taharah. May HaShem help you to reach 90 times 90, which would amount to 22+ years. Hopefully by then you will have beaten the Y"H into oblivion. . .

U r very kind thanks!
I needed this bracha right now since @ the moment I'm debating if I should shout  out one of my infamous crys of "Fire in the House of Amram"

Today was a difficult day for me

Tomorrow a new day will be born, and be"h so will your resolve and "Fire" (Eishusuh D'Kedushah).
Take me for instance:
Yesterday was probably the shvachste of my 20 days (as I stated in my journal); today was one of my stronger ones to date. Had a couple of potential pitfalls in the airport and be"h overcame them. See?

Thanks Tzadik for your words of encouragment

I live in an area where there is very little immodesty  and today I went "out" so I was "hit" with a large dose of "tests"!
