Day 28

It happens that when I start having temptations, I come to gye, gain wisdom and perspective, and I get fortified afterwards.

I love to see the chart, and the badge. And then I keep looking the further badges to visualize where I want to be.

Thank you

Day 44:



Tomorrow is half the way to 90 days.

What is working for me?

Daven.

Gye with all its help.

Guarding my eyes.

Lately TaPHSiC method was nice. It really is like... You know what? Pass...

Anyway. Try to slip less in general.

So

A. We are not stones.

B.  The gye wisdom really says a lot of common things and tips.

C. Recognize it is an addiction.

And yes, there are times when the addiction knocks...(tempts)

Usually I come back to gye, to get perspective.

I heard this saying from a Rabi. We all get feelings sometimes on beautiful women. Even the most tzadik. "We are not made out of stone"
I guess, I would add, it is up to us how much we expose, what fences do we put where is required, etc. Because with fences, like gye handbook points out, you really avoid a lot of battles. (May not all, but way better in my current experience).
And some fences are normal fences in my case may have not properly used before.

Meaning that as human beings we are naturally going to have a libido?

Yes. We can strengthen, or chanel it. Or reserve it. But yes, somehow is natural indeed. I think.

Yes, there are many people like that.
There are also a bunch of us who have surpassed that, and we have gone to the extreme. Normal fences do not protect us.
B'hatzlachah to all

Day 55

It seems I am geting used to it. But now is when I have to watch out. First because I am still an addict. Second because I must not loose the habits that guard me from it.
B"H
Thank you guys

After 56 days, it is incredible how many things in life can I tackle, that I did not had time before...
Huge. And new.

Ok. Record. 62.
Now I am back to 0. I fell.
No porn.
In reality, I think the reason is deep.
I finished a nice project that kept me busy. (And I fell under a deep lack of sleep...)
Now a new project, with all the uncertainty of be out of my confort zone new.
It is no coincidence that just when I finished the project I fell.
Well. Better learn again to stay put under any project.
Good news. I doubled my record ever achieved. And with the right mindset, there is no so much pain. Admittedly a little at times.
Cheers.
