You are welcome to start any group but I really feel that this is a personal journey and the only recommendation I have is for each person to commit to something positive that talks to them.

 This particular journey that I invited the chevra to join is not about accountability.  It is about connecting to something positive with the goal of being able to stand vulnerably before hashem and tap into the inspiration of a specific zman.

some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me.  This is ok.  I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves.  If you do realize that you  know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

Thank you vekham for the inspiration.

Sharing my thoughts.

For many years since i began actively trying to be clean I have said at the end of shemone esrei every day יהי רצון מלפניך ה אלוקי ואלוקי אבותי שלא אחטא עוד ולא אחזור בהם ולא אשוב עוד להכעיסך ולא אעשה הרע בעיניך ומה שחטאתי לפניך מרק ברחמיך הרבים אבל לא על ידי יסורים וחליים רעים.
 This was at times a prayer, at times a wish, at times a desperate reminder to myself that this is what I want underneath everything seemingly opposite piled on top of it. In good times, it was a reminder that I was as vulnerable as ever and needed Hashems help without which I could never succeed.

More recently, in my work to appreciate and celebrate my achievements (something I still learning how to do) I added to my intention in מזמור לתודה my gratitude for having the privilege of a clean day and the privilege of hoping, praying, and working for another.

Even more recently, iI began to say kapitel 13 daily, as a prayer for myself in whatever challenges I feel helpless in, as a reminder that without Hashems grace, I am helpless before lust, and as a prayer that I, everyone on here, and every Yid in the world struggling with kedusha, be helped and merit to rejoice אשירה לה' כי גמל עלי.

vekhams beautiful call to עשה טוב hachana for our yearly physical cleansing from the evil inclination and reclaiming of our birthright as soul carrying Yidden, is inspiring me to focus even more on the celebratory aspect of kapitel 13 and build up towards the great celebration of our eternal national freedom by the Hand of God, and the accopanying celebration of whatever level of personal freedom we have (anyone on this forum already had a great degree of that) whether it be purely Godly gifted or as a product of work one has been Godly gifted in doing, and is therefore מחויב to celebrate and give himself credit for.
