we all feel like this after a fall. we feel guilty and stupid, like if i would have just controlled myself for those few minutes I would be amazing. But, these things happen. Improvements take time and patience, especially patience with yourself. 27 days is a very good attempt and you should feel proud of what you've done. It is a fantastic result that you can build on to reach even better things.

27 days did not turn to 0.

It is now 27+1.

Falling does not mean failure. It means you are human and have a pulse.

Not getting back up means failure.

Get back up, brush yourself off and continue moving forward.

yishar kochachem. big chizuk. והימים הראשונים יפלו is only by נזיר. I'm not at this madreiga.

this was frustrating as I was "planing" to come to yom kipur with a minimum of 30 day.

I gues i need to stop "planing"
I need to remember that:
I'm no a bad person; I'm sick.
I'm not A Choteh. I'm A Chole.
It take time & effort to stay sober but it worth it.

Davening to hashem to keep me sober 1 day @ a time since יום ג שבוע של יום-הכיפורים ו תשרי ה'תשע"ד 
10 Sptember 2013

(and to keep this date)

wow, such an inspiration. i always was acustumed to thinink if i messed up a streak it was starting all over again. you have truely inspired me. MT
"....You start giving to others, and you’ll start to see your pain fade away.... If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don’t like. Kill narcissus.Kill apathy. Kill the shameful selfish looser inside of you. I had an old self that I killed..... You can kill yourself too, but that doesn't mean you got to stop living...kill the part of you that's all you and nobody else, because that's the part that makes you want to curl up and die"

"Fear plays an interesting role in our lives. How dare we let it motivate us? How dare we let it into our decision-making, into our livelihoods, into our relationships?..."
