I think exhaustion leads to both urges for the fact I feel like I have worked hard and deserve a release even if it's not kosher and I may have set a precedent in the past as well as I have less energy.

Amazing. Keep on crushing it!
We are not the same people we once were. We are not so locked into our urges that we have no choice. We can choose to give in or choose to win this battle today. We do not want to give in, the pleasure of giving in is false. 
With Hashem on our side our victory is inevitable; the only way we can lose is by giving up on playing the game.

Signing off day 14.
tommrow and the day after will be a bit different I will have more free time since I won't be working in the morning/afternoon but I do have a decent amount of things to do and that are planned to keep me busy. But it will be the first day that feels more like vacation.
Probably... I guess I will find out...
Just noting possible upcoming challenges.

An uptick in false confidence because I looked back at the days and see I am close to where I fell on the 18th day the first time thinking about the numbers to much now comparing and contrasting what it means to much.
it doesnt make me happier with my accomplishments just makes me think I haven't done enough. Like it will never be enough leads to jealousy.
Arrogance that I got this far and that it means somthing. 
I see a pit that I might have fallen into last time let's side step this mistake. 

I have made excuses for not reading the book TBOTG missing davning with a minyan and skipping learning to waste time and veg out over the last few days I have what to work on to better myself and Fortify for this battle.

Keep strong! 
it’s probably worth thinking about what led to slip. Understanding triggers is good… 

You have what it takes to stay clean today (tomorrow?). To WANT to. 

Keep going! There is no inevitable fall waiting in the shadows. ODAAT!

It was after work, after I showed and was ready for bed, on my phone before going to bed but thats every night... I was a bit stressed thinking about the next day but I don't think that was it.
I am going to think on it more because I am not sure.
