Actually, today had its hard moments. I'm still doing really well but I think I've lost some of the drive I had when I first started. I suppose that's only natural but it's good to recognise and acknowledge where you are at.

Today I came to the realisation that lust in all its forms is unhealthy. The Torah tells us not to covet anything which is in our neighbour's house. When you think about it, that's what lust is all about! We desire things which we can never have. They become an attractive illusion which lies outside of our reach. It's ridiculous really, if you can't have something why punish yourself by becoming fixated on it in the first place?

And that's when we need to start building up our own excitement from deep within ourselves, looking back and realizing how nice it's been to be clean! And I absolutely agree with you - it's very good to realize where we're at. I agree that part of lust is what you're describing...but I'm not sure if that's all of it...

silentbattle Current streak: 1628 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 3734 Karma: 15	There is certainly the concept of "lusting" after things we can't have...but what about lusting after things that we CAN have? Hmmm...on the other hand, if something isn't good for us, isn't healthy (on a physical, emotional, or spiritual level), maybe that falsl under the category of what we can't have...?
