Great post!  Nice to have you back.

Okay folks! The mogul is back in the house!

I am going to get back to the name of this thread...I am going to get to 90 days again! Right now I'm pretty stuck in the mud and I gotta get back to that place where I am not blinded by being used to something. I gotta get back tl the level that I am not so easily sucked into falling. 

I am a bit excited that I feel a renewed strength, but I am also very much aware of the obstacles. The first two weeks will be excruciating, and then after that I will be vulnerable to the fear of building my sensitivity. My goal is to get to 90 days CLEAN and HOLY. 

My game plan is to post my journey, interact with GYE members for support, and take a daily dose of Ve'Ggie's (Victories and Gratitudes)

Please join me and support me on my renewed 90 day journey. While the trip/path I have taken before, this is a completely new journey that surpasses the prior journey. For every journey we take brings us higher and higher.

Wow! you're energy and willpower is amazing. It sure seems that you'll make it this time. Please post a daily post on the ups and downs so we can all cheer you along the way...

#CleanDay (look to the left if you want the number...I prefer to leave it out of my posts for now #Daybyday)

Dave T, thanks  for the post and support. BH I am still clean. 

It is an amazing thing how we often "blame" being stuck, when in reality we aren't too interested in being un-stuck....But then again reality is a funny thing lol

Anyway I'm still trying to go through the process and stay clean. So far it hasn't been too rough, but I ain't assuming it will be easy. I WILL give it my absolute best effort!

Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past

Hey Trouble!

That could mean so many things, so I'll just take all of them. I guess I was asking for Trouble when I posted that. 

Anyway B''h still going strong..."Higher and higher, higher and higher..."

Hi REM

Welcome back to the wagon! You should know that this particular thread really gave me a boost on my journey to 90 days, so I'm indebted to you for that and am here for you to support you along the way (somewhat selfishly I hope it helps me in my next 90 days too!)

I really relate to the struggle in getting started on a fresh go at the challenge of getting and staying clean. Over the past few years while I have had stretches of sobriety I was so demoralised that when a serious challenge came up I would invariably just give in to it.

Not that I am an expert or anything, but in the spirit of sharing tips, one thing that has been invaluable for me over the past months is the knowledge that emotional pain is an inevitable and normal part of life. Every time my mind starts wondering down the road of lust I remind myself that whatever pain I am running from absolutely wont kill me and is nowhere near as bad as I imagine it to be.

Please do keep us up to date!

Hey Pickamoniker!

I would say you already paid it back, because I got tremendous chizuk reading your thread as well! You are really inspiring.

Thank you for the eitzah as well. I will try and keep that in mind to embrace the emotional challenges and pain that Hashem created special for us. 

BH today was great. 

You CAN do it MAN

Thank you md12 for the chizuk!

Bh I am still clean, (although I'm not sure why I would have gone to the mall this week...Not the best for shmiras aynayim….) and have already reached day 10. 

Weekends are always a bit tougher, so I am going to try and stay productive.

It seems from many people here that the weekends are the toughest in this battle. Maybe we can share some ideas to help understand and overcome the weekend struggles... 

In your opinion, why are the weekends a problem and what do you suggest as a solution?

Hey DavidT

For me, weekends are tough because it is a day off that I want to do absolutely nothing productive and that is pretty much the worst thing for the y''h….

The solution is to really plan ahead and make sure there is a list of items to do, but then both planning and the tasks you decide to do become very uninteresting…

#weekends

Hey guys, its me Realestatemogul. I'm just checking in. 

B''h - I am one day away from 2 weeks clean!! (Applause from the crowd:clap:)

I thank you all for your support and wish you a good day.

Realestatemogul, 13 days in itself is a major success! It has the power of the 13 midos shel rachamim which  brings a lot of good into the world... 
We are all cheering you on "YOU CAN DO IT!  KEEP IT UP!!!!!!"
