Yet this is my fear after all the ruchnius with no distractions the lust suddenly comes out of nowhere!


Yes. Lust will always come out of nowhere (cuz for us it really comes from within).
You have tools to deal with these attacks. Use them and they work. The more you use them, the better they get.

Constant vigilance! (Easier to achieve when you're 60 days from shmutz).
The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?

its now 62 days. Yes, definitely easier, but an addict is always an addict.

That first trigger can start the fall

a look
a second look
a lingering thought
Thinking about one's wife
fantasy dreaming about someone else's wife
fantasy thoughts about any female
fantasy thoughts about s*x

I agree. Constant vigilance! I cannot lust like a gentleman and she is not my problem.

WOW after forty years lusting you have already 66 days. I am a sex and girl luster from a very young age and I see I am not even half you age just by the fact that you have been in trouble for 40 years and I can't get past the 20 mark I have past the 10 but never the twenty. So your 66 is some feat

Keep up the great stuff JJ
The opposite of addiction is not sobriety, it’s connection
