Day 1

BH had a nice shabbos. Spoke to a friend tonight and someone else from the forum, glad that we spoke. 
Did a small amount of learning, but took it mostly easy tonight, it's been an intense week and needed a bit of a break

That low-slung, slick-tired racecar is really fast as long as the road is smooth and dry. But one little bump or patch of oil and it's spinning off into the tire wall.

But it can change direction quickly to avoid any obstacles, as long as I look far forward enough for them. 

I know I keep repeating it, but I really appreciate everyone joining in on this thread. I see many of your names in your own threads, I try following many of them, but I rarely post anywhere but here. It's a bit selfish. But it's a big mechaye having all you behind me!

Day 2

Starting to get on track, BH I had a clean day.
I've been fantasising which I need to try stop, it's a bad habit I'm slipping back into. Its a much easier battle when I avoid doing it

Feeling a bit of an urge to masturbate. Just found out a chavrusa can't learn right now. Going to listen to a short shovevim shiur, and then go do some chazoro

Day 3

Stayed busy through dinner and night Seder. Went for a run to get my dopamine fix, and spoke to my Dad. Feeling a lot more like my real self now.

Feeling a bit of an urge now. Gonna put my phone in zen mode and go to take a nap now. 
Feels like I'm being attacked left, right and centre. BeH in a few weeks, if not before, I won't have any issues on a regular day, and I'll have the menuchas hanefesh I had before I fell

Re: Restarting the journey, after a plateau 02 Feb 2021 14:31 #362548

BH was all good before. Still feeling an urge and it's not really going away, I need to be careful to not act out later

Re: Restarting the journey, after a plateau 02 Feb 2021 16:59 #362552

Acted out again this afternoon. Wasn't in a good mood, could write why, but it won't make any difference. Not even enjoyable anymore, just a bad attempt to get my frustration out

No, it didn't help
