Thanks for sharing and reaching out for support! 

Firstly, bare in mind that you only lose once you've stopped trying. So as long as you're trying you're not losing.

Secondly, if you just keep coming back and share often about your struggles, you'll already be 80% of the way to real recovery!

Lastly, I suggest you read two of my previous posts which you should find helpful - Post1 & Post2

Hatzlacha!

“Schedule” your inspiration for multiple times a day to always have it fresh on your mind”.

Benaliyah613, I really share your pain. Litteraly, it hurts. I have been clean since the day before Yom Kippur and it is the longest streak that I have had in years. I am struggling with the fact that there is so much out there and in litterally the blink of an eye I can see whatever I want. I told myself that this year would be different and I really meant it. I mean it every year but I reliaze that this adiction of mine is hurting my marriage. It is becoming an olam hazeh problem, not just an olam haba problem. It has been for years, I'm just really seeing it now. I am doing it for my family's sake this time. I dont want to hurt them. I feel pretty motivated but a Sunday afternoon like now is one of the hardest times for me. Its especially gross outside and I am a little bored. This is exactly when I usually fall. I'm trying to be on the this site instead to get and give chizuk. it helps me to know that Im not alone.

today was not an easy day but made it by the skin of my teeth. Baruch Hashem it's over! Being a yungerman, i find that bein hazmanim is a much harder time because there is so much extra time on my hands and i'm alone more often. with the new zman beginning i hope to have a much easier time!
