46 is the גימטריא of גוזל, you are stealing from the יצר הרע!

Or maybe I am like the גוזל in the verse, ""על גוזליו ירחף." 

Day #48.

The desire does not go away, but as the days go on it becomes less of an option.

So true! You put it very well. The desire may be there, but at the same time the yetzer harah isn't. Just like with chilul shabbos.  We may have a desire to turn the light off, because we won't be able to sleep the whole shabbos, yet at the same time we don't have a yetzer harah and it's not even a battle to actually do it because being mechalel shabbos r"l is so removed from us. 

I was struggling to put my finger on the exact understanding, because in so many areas I have a tremendous desire to the degree that in the past I would've almost been guaranteed to give in. But now even in the face of tremendous desire and desperation there is no chance of me giving in. Thank you for explaining it!

Excellently said! It's just like the guy who grew up enjoying Burger King cheeseburgers, and now became frum and still longs for one when driving by the restaurant, but does not even attempt to pull into the parking lot. Chevra, let's face it. The urge will be here for life, but we will just simply say "No, we graduated and don't do that stuff any more."

Day #50.

I am going to start posting every five days as opposed to every other day. Thank you all for reading, thanking, and responding! Be well.
