I've been trying this for about 3 years now. I decided to post on here to get encouragement and criticism. I'm on day 1 and plan to post daily.

That is not a plan at all.
What is your plan for today?

My plan is this and I admit it's weak. When I feel like falling, I start thinking about all the enemies of Israel and how I will be strengthening them with my behavior. I also think about how I will be weakening them by not falling.

Last night was difficult. I couldn't sleep because of my temptation to fall so I'm very tired today. I made it though. That's 2 days.

Yes.

I also want to make it clear that porno is not the problem. It's what goes on in my mind that leads me to fall.
