Dear brothers,

Today I had the kind of day at work that put me in a good mood because some things that I thought wouldn’t work out so well wound up turning out b”H good.  The resultant good mood made me to add to that pleasure with more and so some familiar urges began to creep up.  I decided to come here and write instead.  Iy”H this will get me through today.  Had to hit reset on the 90 day count recently and feeling a little lame about it but trying not to focus on that and remind myself that I am not lame and how valuable each victory is and how it stands on its own...how there is no need or validity to compare it to previous falls.

I heard a vort last night that the last 12 days in Elul correspond to that 12 months of the year, both in terms of mending the last 12 months of the previous year and in terms of preparing for the upcoming 12 months.  May Hashem help us all take advantage of this time.

Thanks for this.

I would also suggest that general writing helps!! I also have ad days at work and then feel terrible afterwards (even if its just looking). One thing I used to do (and should get back to), is writing. Be it Divrei Torah, poems, anything! That way it also looks like you are working :-)
I came.
I saw
I conquered.
I failed. 
Too much I.
