i just fell the last 2 days. so i decided to join the 90 day chart. i won't have much access starting tomorrow, so i hope that when i end up around a computer, i'll look at this chart and see how far i've come. wishing us all hatzlocha.

and so after 131 days without a fall (can't say the same about slips), i find myself once again in that ugly place. but i don't remember the last time i had such a big clean streak, so i know that with a little tweaking, B'ezras Hashem i'm on the right path.

Thanks for the share.

Can you tell us some of the mindset.
What brought it on?
why you so strong now?

It will help for you and for us.

Thanks so much

I'm still working on the response to this... (don't look at the date) 
But the basic answer at that point was limiting internet access combined with 90 day chart incentive. Problem was, once I was past 90, just keeping the streak going apparently wasn't enough motivation.
I think my main problem was that I thought I was figuring out how to control myself. Now I realize that I can't control myself, and I need a Higher Power to keep me from falling.
Thanks Cordnoy for looking out for me, and for your thought provoking posts.

By the way, what is karma, and how is it gotten?

Thanks

Keep on going!

It's funny how after 130+ days, "that" place is still so reachable. Don't trust yourself 'til the day you die.

That's cute.
I guess so.
Although in mobile version (basically the only one I use) I can't really see it.

And I think I remember seeing on a different thread that you're doing well. Great to hear.
