Broke my last streak of 19 days. But it's getting harder. Still I feel optimistic I can do it this time.

My experience of what works for me, is that there only today and nothing else. And today isn't mine, but is a gift from Hashem. The second I claim credit for today's sobriety is the moment I'm lost; maybe not now but inevitably if my will is n the equation failure is inherent. That's just what works for me.

Hatzlacha
Much Hatzlacha!

Minor slips but nothing serious. No falls. But the temptation is growing.

Keep strong my friend. Daven to HKB"H. He loves you and will be there for you if you let him.

Going to start an exercise program after Shabbos. My doc is after me and it'll help the issues I'm dealing with here.

40 days! I really wasn't sure I would get this far. 90 days really looks possible.

Congrats! One day at a time. If you can do 40, you can do 1!
Much Hatzlacha!
