How do you humbly put yourself down for your arrogance?

P.S I honestly don't have something to write about everyday and my posts will sometimes reflect that. The only reason I write is because I made a commitment to do so for 90 days come what may (excluding yom tov).

You could ask a noahide

Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. Ralph Waldo Emerson

Day 62:

It's going to be all right, sir," Harry said over and over again, more worried by Dumbledore's silence than he had been by his weakened voice. "We're nearly there ... I can Apparate us both back ... don't worry ..."
"I am not worried, Harry," said Dumbledore, his voice a little stronger despite the freezing water. "I am with you.

I don't watch too much TV.

I found a show, innocently started watching.

Nu nu, gotta be more careful. Learnt my lesson.

Gut moed!

As someone else just mentioned if it's PG it's most likely a problem already.
And those IMDB parental descriptions can be quite graphic so be careful with them

Hope you are enjoying Chag you are doing amazingly.

Day 65: Boruch Hashem. Thank G-d for today and all these past days. Why do I thank G-d? I thank him because I know how complex the world is. I know how many variables there are in life, which lead us in one direction or another. So I'm thankful that I made it this far, approaching the precipice of sanity. I'm thankful that he lead me in this direction.

Yes, there was years of pain. I don't know why. I don't see the positivity in the past.

Maybe it taught me that I could survive in the toughest of situations.

I'm still grateful though. Why?

G-d doesn't owe us anything. Everything he gives us is a gift. So I'm grateful for this drop of sanity, that he in his benficience, bestowed upon me.

Another idea.

We think the great warrior is the one who believes in his own strength and discounts the strength of his enemy. This couldn't be farther from the truth. The great warrior respects his enemy. He acknowledges the strength of his opponent. He also looks for weakness and tries to exploit it. However, he never discounts the danger. Pride comes before the fall as they say.

Lust is very powerful. A sexually themed scene in a TV show or movie can be very powerful. You'd have to be a fool not to respect that.

Lust has some weaknesses too. Do you know what they are?

Peace

Day 67: Getting a bit tough. It's not even that It's getting tough to stay clean. It's just getting tough to live.

Unhealthy ways of thinking about things create stress. I think I'm falling back into unhealthy mindsets.

Just living, dealing with family, with daily life can be so tough. I just want to do something that will make me feel good.

That's why lust is so tempting. Sweet orgasm, porn. Even though it brings me to the depths of hell, to a place of utter despair. At that moment of orgasm however, for a split second, there is release. Escape. A good feeling. A feeling of vitality.

For right now all I can tell myself is this: I need a solution to life, but lust, porn and masturbation, sure as hell ain't it.

May the Aibershter give us all strength to do what we must.
