229. This is tough stuff - but BH we are still staying strong.

I want to remind myself for a second why I spend so much effort on this whole thing...

1) We are here for just a short while and after that we go somewhere else....
2) I want my time in the next world to be super special
3) Any unallowable "pleasure" I get in this world will take away from my place in the next world.
4) Lust takes away my ability to get closer to Hashem
5) Addiction is destructive
6) Lust inhibits my ability to have healthy relationships with others

Thats enough for now. I think I am convinced!

Thanks for listening

REM!!! Keep up the great work and keep inspiring us! My two cents (what came up for me when I read this) is that this is all good stuff, but I think we need to do our part to channel this part of ourselves in the way Hashem intended. So for a married person this will mean one thing, and for a single person it may be pursuing shidduchim. Anyways, keep on rocking! Hope the above had some relevance.

Realestatemogul Current streak: 356 days OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 306 Karma: 25	You may wonder why at 243 days I am still posting on my getting to 90 thread...? The answer is that I am still working on "getting to 90." This is my thread of breaking free and since it is a life's work, I am still continuing to work on "getting to 90." I daven that Hashem continues to help me and everyone on GYE succeed on "getting to 90!"

Thank you Doitforhashem! With consistent effort and a positive attitude I am very confident you can make it to tremendous heights!

I am currently at 270 days!!!

My last streak was 272, so this is very exciting to almost be able to surpass that! TYH! TYH!

I just want everyone to realize that I didn't have a one day fall and then got back on my horse, but still because of my previous success I was able to build on that and now I am so much healthier and stronger in this challenge. I still have struggles and temptations, but BH I have given myself the tools and ability to overcome it much more easier.

Thank you GYE!

Can't wait for my counter to say 273 iy"h!

Hey tzaddik. The simcha of 273 is understandable but isn't the real simcha the fact that you bh have graduated.....? You have decided that this garbage is just not available anymore. It is similar to every once in a while we dream about what we could do with a few million dollars, yet we don't entertain the thought of robbing a bank....We all get urges - strong ones at times but we don't watch that poison anymore....

It much easier to think that I am still working on something than to decide I have moved on from the journey....maybe it is a needed conscious decision going into Rosh Hashana...
