Hello, all. I was thinking about the following yesterday. I don't have any desire or urge to look at pornography or touch myself. Just none. I don't even think about it. And that's the most uncomfortable part of it all. It only takes one moment for all of that to change.

Sticking to my plan and keeping my guard up.

I learned this in  my journey:

was having a significant urge last night - not like an emergency, but i “wanted” iti had no outletthen i went to bed, and of course next day the feeling is gone.THAT is where the filters are critical - when there is a really issue of willpower and self control, it was so helpful that that major safety wall was in place.i think there are is a “3 ply cord” to this issue and I’m finally getting the hang of it: 1. filters for that kind of situation, but the filters a lone are necessary but not sufficient in itself; 2. clarifying intimacy, pleasure in general, and lust specifically, what is holy and what is sheker; and 3. regular conversation with other men about this, plus reading “battle of the generation.”these are the 3 pillars i think

Just thought to myself...is a daily post really necessary at this point? Yes. Yes it is.

Good morning, all.

I had/have an urge this morning to have a 'fall session'. Why? I felt very stressed this morning getting my children out of the house and to their summer camps. I thought about a 'fall' as a stress relief/escape. This is where connection is key. I have already texted someone about it and I am writing this post here. I am not going to fall today.

I was looking at my streak yesterday. Those are some good numbers. A month and a half without looking at pornography and almost a month without masturbating. But it's also not that long. Either way, the numbers don't tell the whole story. The whole story is that I have been a part of GYE for four and a half years. I have had some really long streaks. With Hashem's help, I will get back to those three digit numbers and beyond. But day counts aside, I am where I am today because of four and a half years of growth.

Had an 'M' fall last night. Not sure what I could've done different. I fell asleep on the couch, then went upstairs to my bed and had the fall. No deliberations. No remembering my commitments. No back and forth.

Proud of almost a full month of no 'M' and proud that I am 'P' free for 46 days.

Have a great Shabbos.
