B"H things are going well so I need to stay extra alert b/c I think the yh is trying to lull me into a false sense of security.

Hatzlacha to all!

I'm having a rough day today. In the past that would lead me to listen to non Jewish music & binging on YouTube & after that it was down the rabbit hole. 
B"H I haven't done that yet but just to make sure that I won't.... 
I am mekabel bl"n not to listen to non Jewish music, or go onto YouTube, Facebook, & Instagram for the rest of today unless it's absolutely necessary. 

Hatzlacha to all!

It's really interesting my yh hasn't been bothering me too much recently.
All of a sudden I hit 50 days and I feel good about the accomplishment and what do you know I got a nasty unwanted visitor very early this morning..... 

yh: good morning Tzadik! you did it! you made it to 50 days! you're amazing!
Now you can masturbate because who cares you achieved so much already, just have a good time you earned it!
So you will have to reset the chart nu nu you'll do this again

Me: I've heard this shpiel from you too many times already.... 

1. I am enjoying life being free of needing the porn & masturbation pacifier.

2. I know that it's 2 minutes of pleasure followed by days of pain. 

So get the hell away from me & let me sleep!

Ps. I slept really well after that! 

Hatzlacha to all!

I'm imagining the Y"H talking to Hashem...
"hey! it ain't fair!! this GYE is making my job so difficult!"

I'm having some urges this morning to go watch porn.... 

Me before GYE: OK I'll go watch it'll be good! 

Me now: this is crazy!! because of a fleeting thought I'm going to run after a fleeting pleasure that will literally end the second that I'm done only to be replaced with horror, disgust, pain, shame, & regret! 
NO  #@&*+~$  WAY! 

Also now I know that it's OK  the best to ignore the thought & keep moving on! 

Another game changer for me is that I'm starting the fight much earlier on before I get consumed with lust this is a much easier battle to win! 

Hatzlacha to all!

54!

Today I had a prolonged nisayon with many opportunities to be misgaber on my yetzer & not look. 
I succeeded numerous times! 
I gave in more times then I was successful 

the good news is that although I didn’t do as well as I could’ve I’m not going to let this go further. The old me would’ve let the lust run out of control & would've definitely fallen to porn or masturbation but not this new guy!

Unfortunately I fell late last night 

The good:
1. I made it to 55 days which is the longest streak since my last streak ended last pesach! 
2. I was having very strong taavahs last night but I still pushed off the fall for a few hours! 
3. I am not staying down I'm jumping right back into the battle! 
4. I have grown so much & learned so much during this stretch that will continue to help me! 
5. I didn't lose those days that I was clean! 

Takeaways:
1. Time to upgrade current filters & filter any unfiltered devices
2. I need to get better "in the street" 
3. I need to stop watching on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram 
4. I need to learn more in my free time

My goals:
Short-term - hit the "I am clean" button tomorrow night
Mid term goal - Be clean for 56 days
Long term goal - be clean for life

Hatzlacha to all!

This line amazed me the most...
"I was having very strong taavahs last night but I still pushed off the fall for a few hours!"
We can't imagine the nachas ruach that Hashem has from this... be proud!
thanks for the great chizuk...
