One more try 18 Jul 2022 11:23 #383496

Hi all, I have been here before under another name, and as my new name suggests i just cant pull myself out. 
i am in a really bad place right now and i am going to try once more.
we are about 40 days from ראש השנה, my goal is to stay clean till then.
i have never done more then 30 days in the last 12 years! 

wish me luck

Hatzlocha Rabah...You can do this

A few things to think about...
What does stay clean mean to you?
Why do you want to this?
What behaviors are/have been causing you to fall?
What are you going to change this time around?

of course we all wish you luck. Either way,  you should come to rosh hashana, standing tall and proud of yourself for all of your efforts 

by the way, there are 70 days to rosh hashana....

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.

So you didn't do it 3 out of four times, that's pretty awesome.

Do you have anything specific that you are/are not doing to help you?

I would change the name of the topic to - another try. Don't limit it to 1 more try
 *  NO, It's not all or nothing, just every bit counts!
 *  I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try.
 *  Being curios made me lust and get into trouble.

i am back again.
this time i waited until i was 4 days clean before posting.
so far so good, crazy urges [yesterday i was in physical pain from the urges] but managing to ride the waves.

full force ahead

Re: One more try 11 Dec 2022 21:46 #389292

one whole week! 
there is no denying it was hard work and i am by no means confident [may never be] but i am holding on tight.

onwards and upwards

Wow! I'm inspired! Keep it up! Remember, we all care for you, we are brothers here. Every drop of goodness is there forever. One week clean is one day clean, forever yours and makes Hashem proud. Remember that you are a tzaddik just for being here. If you weren't interested in being better you would find another pastime. Hashem is so proud (and I am too)
