Congrats!

Its a huge thing to get to a week. For the rest of your life, no matter how your battle goes, you can forever say that 1 week was yours and absolutely nothing can ever take that away from you.

One week down!

It's time for the one week clean celebration to begin!
L'chaim! To more clean days ahead.

Thank you for being a great source of inspiration.

One who has given up hope is without a G‑d.

One who sees hope in each day is already free

Was a good day

Spoke on the phone. Accountability is preventing slipping. 

Could use more motivation. Back when I was up to my nose in this I knew what I didn't want anymore. 
Now I pretty much know what do want but have forgotten a bit about the cons of lust.

So I have been slipping a bit recently and even fell once last week because I have been away too much recently. 
Need help remembering the bad times and that lust is....

Take a moment to read through your "recent post that resonates" thread and really take a moment to let each post sink in. Don't do it all in one shot maybe even one or two posts a day, but try to do it everyday for the next few days/weeks. 

You know what works for you, and you know that you don't want or need the garbage. You just need some chazarah of the obvious. Like the Mesilas Yesharim says in the hakdamah, no chidushim, just a way to keep focus on what you already know.

Chazarah, chazarah, chazarah!

All the best, 
Wilnevergiveup 

Just read this now and I love it. 
Absolutely nailed it! 

Chazarah Chazarah chazara


Read a couple of posts on my other thread, after all it's designed for extra Chazarah and chizzuk. 
Probably should have done that also when all is going good, it's better to keep the battle miles away from enemy lines... 

So, another good day b"h

Everyone should have a thread like that. A place to store the snippets of inspiration that spoke to them personally. It becomes a powerhouse of chizuk. I have one too. It's called Shteeble's collection of inspiration. I don't know anything that motivates me more than reading through it.

No worries

I love your last post - "OK day, not too great"

It is so real, and I can literally feel your strength and perseverance! Not every day is great, but that is OK and you can still stay strong and clean. 

Keep up the great work!!

I hope the rest of your week is GREAT!

Thanks for spelling that out so clearly. 
I never thought about it that way, but now I'm thinking that really, that happens so often. 
Day wasn't great, meeting wasn't great, lunch wasn't great, davening, work, anything,
But that's OK. 
Does not have to be something to dwell on, certainly not to the point of acting out... 

Clean good day today b"h
