And I'd love to meet you, too, though I'm pretty sure that you'd be dissappointed with what you see.

Sorry R Dov here i disagree. I wouldnt be disappointed cuz the part of you i wanna meet i met here already. Your outer apperances have nothing to do with this. I wanna meet you so we can discuss things thoroughly and we can understand each other better. I feel sometimes when your just writing you cant always get your point thri=ough exactly the way you want.

Let's stay friends, OK?
I hope i didnt make any indication not like this. Of course we can. This will only benefit me more than i can imagine. So im all in. ;D

Hey I'mtrying! Thanks for the posts. Chazak chazak, chart buddy!

And Dov, you analyze things sooooo much! Isn't enough enough already? I think there comes a point when it's just plain counterproductive to focus so much on this inyan, dissecting it every which way, and slicing and splicing from every angle. I don't know about you but that just gets my mind on the yetzer hara, when I'd rather leave him outside in the cold.

Hey NOYA dont put the blame on Dov. Its me whos doing the overanalyzing. Dovs trying to get through my thick skull that i should not be doing this. But like i said before, i aint goin' down without a fight.

Keep it up, man! I was hoping to go all the way to 90 with you, but looks like you'll have to lead.

Ok so im back. And im back with my head hanging low. And with myspirits even lower. I had a really down week. In so many ways. It all started off last thursday night. Couldnt sleep. Maybe i caught the insomnia thing that some people on here suffer from. But whatever i dont know. I was up till about six. And of course when im bored my y"h works full force. Now comes the worst part. What i usually do in a situation like this is get on to gye and read posts read chizuk post my own thoughts etc etc. Problam was i couldnt access the site. It wouldnt download. Try as i may it wasnt working. But of course everything else worked. And eventually i got past the filter and im sure you can figure out the rest. And i couldnt really get myself off the floor since. Today im clean hoping it stays this way. But ive lost some of the spirit to push. Im walking around really down and its really bothering me. So i hope i can get over it ssome time soon. Ok dont really have much more to say.

Welcome back!  There's a reason that your name is not "Imsucceeding."  Hashem only wants us to try.  You'll get the spirit back, b'Ezras Hashem, after a few days clean.  Allow yourself to detox first, and the spirit will not be long in coming!
Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

Isolation sucks lemons, doesn't it?
We, however, see right through the crapola going on with you now, to the good in you, imtrying25. All the "down" can't fool us.
Now, if I could find a way to be aware of that when I'm feeling down, that'd really be something!
But hey, that's why our friends can't be ourselves, I guess...

 I think the YH has something against the tryers...I fell today too. The same exact way. Was up all night..etc
We gotta show the menuval that he won't win. We'll take the fall and use it to our advantage!! I decided to make a red line, to eliminate p*rn entirely. Maybe you can do something about your filter...Just don't let it get you down!! It's exactly what the yh wants!
Look at your mountain...You've climbed so much in so little time. So you fell back a few steps, so what?? Look how far you've come..
as we all say on GUE,
He may have won the battle, but he will not win the war...

i'mtrying we really missed you over here.
falling is part of climbing, btw. i feel like this is just a game of snakes and ladders... and some people get really lucky and get to the top really fast.
but other people keep going up and down and up and down.... until they finally get to the top.
just keep working, and NEVA EVA GIVE UP!
you know, you came back an had your first clean day, when trying fell...
something is freaky...

Success is up to Hashem, we've just got to do our part.  But doing our part does not mean fighting this monster head on, which is impossible.
