I know its the same day I wanted to elaborate on what bothers me about wet dreams while I don't count them as a failure in my 90 days they do affect me mentally and physically as well as spiritually. And the urges come back. So it sucks when I have to start over with that again.

Personally I have no problem with wet dreams. It's the wet waking up that really annoys me

Day 14: the first 8 days felt faster then the last 3 but that's okay. Kept myself busy I only see this when I think about the 90days.
I also started going to the gym today.

Harav Notezy, 
First, keep up the good work of posting, you will get to see how much it matters as you go along. 

Regarding your problem with wet dreams, i tottaly understand that, It botherd me a great deal as well. But, there are so many things to do for that. Ill write a few.

Reading Krias Shma, especially from the Arizal. 
There is a sefer called Kedushes Yesod and it has a lot of kavanos to have while reading krias shma. 
Learning before going to sleep. especially Mishnayos
Not eating heavy food before sleeping
Doing kegel exercises which strengthen the muscles down so you will have more control.

The most important thing is to ignore them, its not your fault usually and just go to the mikva and move on. 

Good luck.

Here's a warm hand.
There's powerful recognition in writing that free time makes you struggle. Feeling unproductive and less purposeful, and having time to "space out" and feel opens up the gate to negative energy. Can you put structure and positivity in your day to counter?   Reach out to a friend?

Hoping your day goes well,

Day 19 I had a fall today. 
I read your msgs. But I didn't do enough.
i had a dr.appointment this morning and when I got back I didn't go straight back to Yeshivah like I should have. Lead down a path and here I am after falling.
Not sure what I am going to do next. 
I got farther then I execpted to...
