good luck with the project!!

still looking forward to seeing your updates, though!

good shabbos

Today is כב מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג, (I think, I get a little confused over the weekend cuz I only go on GYE at work ) which corresponds to July 29, 2013 (that much I know, my computer says so )

Anyway, today and the whole weendI am clean.

Had a busy weekend, a lot going on, b"H.

Back to work...

Welcome back to work!!

And KUTGWork!!!!

Today is כ"ג מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג. Today I am clean.

Yesterday, when I updated my chart, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I am up to 30 days. I really haven't been following my count on the chart so closely this time. I have been trying to make every day about staying clean today. Also, I don't get emails every time I reach a new "level" (maybe because I have been at that level on the chart before?).

So here I am at 30 consecutive days clean (actually 31 days now). On the one hand I feel like a different person than I was just a month ago. I feel better about myself that I am not running through the mud every day and lying about it when I get home. I feel that I am adding to the productivity of my department a little more than I was a month ago. I feel that I have a chevra of safe people that I can be open with. I don't feel tempted to fall today or any time in the near future. In short, I have come a long way in one month.

On the other hand (not to be negative or anything), I am just as sick as I have been for the last 15 years. One false move and I am right back where I started from. I am not "healed" of my addiction a ki hu zeh.

Oh well, KOT KOMT to us all. Just today, always.

sounds like you are doing great!
keep it up
great to have you on board

they say a story about R' Yisrael Salanter. a shochet came to him with a question. he feels great trepidation and fears lest he inadvertently be machshil yidden with tarfus. he feels too afraid to shecht.
R' Yisrael asked him "would you prefer that people who aren't fearful of being machshil yidden be the ones shechting?"

so you are right that you are not cured. and it is important to realize that.

keep on keeping on

Good stuff TTS! KUTGW and KOT!

Just checking in. Today is... wait a second, what was yesterday? Yes, ok, today is כ"ד מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג, July 31, 2013.

Today I am clean.

That's all for now.

Just checking in again...

Today is כ"ו מנחם אב, ה'תשע"ג, August 2, 2013.

Today I am clean.

Sorry for not checking in yesterday. Yesterday I was also clean.

Next week will probably be a little more happening here at work, so I am not sure how much I will be able to be on GYE. I will certainly be with you all, my dear anonymous friends, in spirit.

Have a good Shabbos everyone.

Good shabbos!

As they used to say in Slabodka,

EEEEELLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUULLLL!!!!!!!!!!

In Avodas Hashem, we say הַיּוֹם קָצֵר וְהַמְּלָאכָה מְרֻבָּה. Unfortuanately, at my work it is היום ארוך והמלאכה מועט. But that is just the way it goes. I have to just do my real Job, the one for the real Boss. The pay and benefits are way better than any gashmiyusdike job, anyway!

Oh yeah, I am clean today.

Finally, work to do!! It's about time. Of course it's almost time to go home for the day, but whatever.
