I haven’t posted in a while. Sadly I fell last Sunday to end my 14 day streak I’m 47 days in fell twice and I’m in a new three day streak now. When I fell I immediately started thinking “ok I obviously enjoy this more than I want to stop” but then I spoke to people and I realized I really held back many times even on the way to that fall and I had a lot of wins, and even though eventually I fell it doesn’t take away those wins. I am racking up wins and accomplishments every day every moment and Baruch hashem i have this forum to keep me in the community of people all with the same goal. 

I didn’t really edit this,I hope it makes sense. 


If anyone has encouragement send it this way.

How do I put this delicately? Try reaching out before you fall by posting here daily that way people can try and help you beforehand as opposed to after the fact. Not to say that you won’t be helped after the fact, but how about being proactive before you fall and you may not fall. It’s free advice so you know what it’s worth

Well I beat that urge but then later that day it came back stronger and I fell. I’m very upset and know how to fix it I just need to. It’s good I wrote on here first cuz it helped me beat it for a couple hours which is a small win. I started today a fresh and I’m doing a 14 day clean giving myself a timed goal. I will hopefully update every day for 14 days.

That didn’t work had chanuka break threw me off and I didn’t read or work on myself naturally I fell. I see clearly that if I don’t actively work on myself I won’t have the courage or strength to overcome urges. I need to get back o my habits of earlier where I worked on myself every day and I was proud of myself and felt confident that I was getting cleaner and stronger

I started listening to shiurim on the gye shiurim part and they are very motivating clear and I’m very happy I found them I like them better than some of the books more interactive. Thank hashem I’m 8 days clean after those 2 weeks of bad footing I feel like my footing is getting stronger and I’m fixing up my ship. I will keep on going and hopefully be able to continue making progress.

I really haven’t written in a while because usually I don’t know what to write I have streaks then I fall then I try something else then I fall etc. Anyway I wanted to write here that I realized that I have been focusing on streaks too much. While I was filling in on the dashboard another clean day I checked my last 30 days and I realized true I only have a couple day streak but in the last 30 days I FELL ONLY 3 TIMES! For me that’s crazy I used to think I needed this stuff multiple times a week. I hope to keep on getting this number down. Just pointing out something I noticed a big confidence booster

You are right I should post here before I fall but I usually have urges at night and no one is on or respond fast enough but your right even posting will help it. 



short story, yesterday I had a hole in the filter that I couldn’t close I knew it got opened.. long story so I had that rush of energy abt to go and fall and I ran and went to that opening, (if you relate to me when you know of a hole in the filter the excitement, your heart starts beating and you feel like it’s a must do). I guess all the stuff I’ve been reading and learning helped, and I stopped in my tracks and asked myself if I can wait a second. I waited, took a deep breath and after that initial insane rush stopped for a second it made room for my rational mind to start explaining why i shouldn’t. So I quickly ran to my filter guy and got it fixed so i couldn’t fall. 



today I fell. Not in the way I would’ve fell yesterday because that was blocked bh but it was a fall I dunno why my instincts didn’t help this time but I’m still very proud of what happened yesterday decided to share.
