Not even enjoyable anymore, just a bad attempt to get my frustration out

May I ask, dear friend, what it is you are so frustrated about?

A chavrusa a bit, and some things in yeshiva, but to be honest it's all just shtuss which I'm making a bigger deal out of than I need to, and I really just put myself in a bad mood by overthinking everything

Day 1

BH had a 'regular' day. Wasn't overwhelmed by urges to act out. Feels like it's been a few days without a clear mind

Re: Restarting the journey, after a plateau 04 Feb 2021 22:45 #362759

Day 2

BH also a good day today

Good to see you back in the race!

Now that you  aren't being surrounded by urges, its a good time to really think about your plan for winning this war and making sure you've got as many situations covered as possible (like Boredom, depression, loneliness etc.). If you can come up with a good plan now for any of those situations it can make a huge difference in the future.

One day at a time!

One battle at a time!

You've seen where you can go, you can do it again!

Keep em coming.

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

One who sees hope in each day is already free

Just to say I think about your willpower often. I cannot underestimate how much your helping your future marriage Bez"H by working on this now. Besides the good feeling of being in control of oneself, you will also receive the pleasure's in a permitted way one day, which is far more meaningful than stealing them now. Btw I think your name ought to be "Improving"!!

May you have an uplifting Shabbos.

Day 4
Kept myself busy tonight, even if it wasn't with what I said I'd do. Felt good to relax a bit, the week gets very busy and hectic

Re: Restarting the journey, after a plateau 07 Feb 2021 18:22 #362892

Acted out again this afternoon. Was feeling very overwhelmed towards the end of Seder. Felt very small during maariv tonight standing before Hashem.

Going to change my accountability software app, the one I've been using hasn't been working so great

Day 1

BH had a good day today.

Downloaded a new accountability app, still setting it up, but it looks promising

Fantasised a little bit today before I slept, but other than that, it's been a very good day BH.
