Starting Day 6 
struggling a bit with my beliefs I can do this today.
I thinks it's the results of a lot of limiting self talk the last few days.

What is stopping you from "doing it"? If you did 5, why is 6 so formidable?

Had a fall today.the answer to your question is preconceived beliefs about 5 days.5 days was a success in itself but I was so focused on making it to 5 days again I didn't think about day 6 and anything that came after I didn't prepare myself mentally to keep going after 5.
TLDR: I Lost the forest for the trees.

Day 1 Fresh Start 

Nothing like a nice fresh start. But what are you going to do differently this time? 
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.

Half way through day 3
notice I am less cynical since I started the 90 day challange overall and on top of that when I keep consistent with GYE and others I feel like it's only a matter of time... so thank you everyone

Day 4 I fell today
I think just from stress and a lack of sleep. I am not sure if i need to update my plan as much as just continue going smalls steps although I am still looking to alternate filters. 
And make time for the book and the course that's all for today I guess.

And I changed my mind my plan to avoid this stress is I am taking a break from reading 1 of the 3 mussur books I am reading till I finish the others and I am taking a break from the F2F program again in favor of finishing TBOTG because that's what contributed the most to my stress consistently in my mind having somthing to do burned me out this week.

What do you mean by that? What artificial limits are you referring to?

Have you spoken to anyone on GYE?  For me it was a total gamechanger - it was only because of my (loooong) conversations with IWLR that I got the courage to post...
