I did it, I fell. My entire being felt numb and sad, until I realized the words of the holy Rebbe, Rebbe Nachman of Breselv. "There is no such thing as despair." At the end of the day, hasHem is recreating the world every single second of the day. It's never to late to have a "Rosh Hashana" moment of sorts. I got up a week ago and started doin tikkun haklali and started reading the Garden of Purity again. If you believe you can break, you best believe you can fix. I've started doing more hisbodedus and it's been working for a couple of weeks. I've also taken the eitzos in Sichos Haran of not being able to think two thoughts at once. Thanking g-d for my thoughts and unhooking from them altogether. Does anyone have any good eitzos to share with me? Some community members have recently made fun of me for deleting my social media, but I feel as if it's helped me ten-fold.

Kudos to you for deleting social media!
Being mocked by your peers for doing so makes it much harder, but the benefit from cutting out this cancer from your life far exceeds anything it pretends to offer.
We get only one chance at life.
This is not a rehearsal; it's the real thing.

Father, help me live sober Today.

Been there regarding the social media. Pay no attention as hard at it is. Deep down, alot of them know that you're right for deleting it and this just the way they quiet their conscience.
