....Don't feel particularly confident in myself, despite being clean for this long.

הלל אומר ...ואל תאמן בעצמך עד יום מותך, ואל תדין את חברך עד שתגיע למקומו

Chazon Ish, R' Shimon Shkop, etc. are all recipients of Hillel's mandate to remain humble and cautious. On GYE we are ALL respectful of his latter statement to maintain respect and awe of our fellows and their struggles.

Keep up the awesome work, my dear and esteemed friend.

Ish

Sometimes the difference between being confident or not is simply a decision. If we can legitimately tell ourselves that we are absolutely done with this, and we aren't vacillating and trying to hang un there...this can be the final clincher.

A firm decision removes half the fight.

Can you say with complete conviction - I am ready to give up this stupidity for life?

I would love to say yes, but I know I'm not there yet. I'm going home from yeshiva in ~ 3 weeks and I know that the battle won't be the same one I've had in yeshiva. I think I'll be in different environments, amongst different people, and probably have access to different devices, so my success in a sheltered yeshiva environment, with access to only one devices which is (finally) filtered properly, won't necessarily translate over.

First of all I get a lot of chizuk from you in general...
You have probably heard this a hundred times before but...
Try going back to your first posts and see how far you have come, you can probably give yourself more chizuk than anyone else here can.

That being said... and everything everyone else said here is very true...

By me personally when I feel that I am "losing confidence", for me what it really means is that I'm looking over my shoulder in fear that 'IT' will catch up to me. 'I have come so far', now the fear of failure starts coming back..
'can I really do it?'
'Am I going too fast?'
'Am I going to crash?' etc...

These thoughts are all garbage.

COMPLETE GARBAGE.

Because now you have a plan and you are NOT groping in the dark.
Because now you have support.
Because now YOU have committed yourself.

As long as you can be confident in your efforts and in your plan, you will be fine. And of course always remember the golden rule of taking every day, one day at a time (and don't get caught up in the numbers especially if the numbers are what scares you...)

Hope for the best Prepare for the worst
