Day 9 I see how the yetzer hara really trying and getting me to lust at anything around but I’m still clean and with time I will get better and easier. 

I appreciate all the support. 

Im here and reading all your updates(just saying I get happy when I see you were successful and clean)
Keep plugging away. Remember "No one said its gonna be easy"
Its hard and expect to be, and youll be ready to battle. Hatzlacha!

Day 10 wow ten. I definitely caught myself lusting, and these 10 weren’t perfect. But it’s 10 clean and hopefully the next 10 will be a bit easier. There were a few very hard moments. 

Day 11 The last 48 hours have been my weakest so far. Starting tomorrow I really need to spend more time each day on chizuk and tools. 

Reach out when your feeling down. A listening ear can go really far. If u wanna reach out to me Im easily accessible at google hangouts.
Also stir the coals of chizuk and get the fire blazing within you.
Hatzlacha!

If you're married with kids and would like a phone partner do reach out. I'm also available. Like BOG (can I call you that way? lol) said, breaking off the isolation is key.
A lending ear can do wonders. Just letting the weight out, and you feel like a new person.
Great work and remember, there will be tough days. Daven to Hashem everyday for sobriety for today, that's all you need. To be sober for today.
That being said, coming here everyday helps to remind me of the good fight.

Yeh of course; call me whatever you like.

@iwillnevergiveup I think I recall that you said it your circumstances may not allow email or hangouts, but I think its really worth considering either calling or some other anonymous way you feel comfortable being in contact with someone(A way that people wont find out, just gotta be a little creative) . Its done wonders for me. But thats my two cents.
Hatzlacha!

Day 14 Thanks for all the support. While haven’t made all the right decisions, I see myself really thinking out what I’m doing and staying away from certain things when challenges arise.  

Try to remember that lusting in normal and it doesnt take away from the greatness of what you're doing! (It's probably the Yetzer Hara trying to ruin your enthusiasm so you'll stop.)

Day 15 Still gave in to one struggle today. I’ll get this tomorrow. 
Hashem gives me challenges because he wants it to be hard, and he wants me to work hard. So that’s what I’ll do. 

You don't have to be perfect, just give it your best shot. Don't strive for perfection, just try to be better today then you were yesterday and better tomorrow then today.

The trick (as you prob. know...) is just to never give up .

Try to remind yourself again and again why you are doing this and why it's important to you.

Keep it up. Looking forward to hearing good news.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Life’s battles are designed to be tough.
Though we hope to ace every challenge, we cannot guarantee perfection. We can’t let one mishap define and crush us. We must focus on how much we accomplish and how much greater we reach every time we exert effort to control ourselves, rather than worrying about not being perfect. Focusing on our status in this twisted way is inaccurate, painful, and dangerous.

Did great last 2 days, hopefully same tomorrow!

Lets go! 17 days!
