Wish me luck. Best of luck overcoming your struggles. We're all rooting for you!  Warning: Spoiler! |

Think about how good you'll feel if you say no to desire and compare that to how bad you'll feel if you say yes.
Desire is unique in the way that it is never fulfilled - if you give in the desire comes back even more powerful in just a few days. Telling yourself that its ok because this is really the last time doesn't work because you are just adding new images to your head that will cause future falls. The Joy of triumph over the yetzer hara is worth the effort it takes to win. It IS worth it! Keep fighting! My thread: Aiming to be better |

שבע יפול צדיק וקם. I don’t know where to find the famous R’ Tzaddok on this possuk, but the point is that a Tzaddik is defined by his persistence in getting up again. Warning: Spoiler! |

Warning: Spoiler!(Tzidkas HaTzaddik, 49): If one particular issue keeps getting in the way, forming an obstinate roadblock, don't go into reverse. Look again at the signpost. It does not read, 'dead end'. It says, 'Here lies your maximum potential for excellence.' So please drive this way. You have just chanced upon your particular field of endeavor. It is the very purpose for which you were created." |

Day three: Just updated my tracker. I’m on level 2! I need to learn to celebrate every clean day. Cause it’s value is infinite to Hashem. Even if to me success means never falling again... See Tanya chapter 25 regarding each and every Mitzva ״ויחוד זה למעלה הוא נצחי לעולם ועד״. Good night. Looking forward to a great, clean day tomorrow. ODAAT. אין עוד מלבדו Keep shteiging buddy, ur doing great. Im not sure what ״יחוד למעלה״ means.

Learn the perek and you’ll find out...
 As far as אין עוד מלבדו- it’s a reference to a famous story about a yid named Reb Binyomin Kletzker. Maybe I’ll post it tomorrow... GN |
