Amazing! And funny you should mention it, I cried in the mikvah too. Not a big cryer either. Good thing there's a filter...

Listen man, filters are an extremely helpful tool but they're not a solution.

Idk how you guys have enough time to cry in the mikvah. I'm in and out with barely enough time to get my head under the water.

Was waiting for someone to say something about the filter, thanks shem. It's true once you're going up against the filter, you're in trouble. It's really about the chlorine like odyosef18 said, constantly maintaining that pure mindset. Ok maybe this metaphor has gone too far. I’ll stop now.

Quite right. The filter keeps the solution clean. L'Chaim!
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Ugh. The absolute worst! Like walking through the internet. (Ok maybe not that bad). That being said, based on your meteoric rise here, R' Yosef, you might walk out of that mall when you're done with a few dollars less, but I'm pretty sure you'll walk out a millionaire upstairs..

Haha BH, but she was only there to use the ladies room. 
So I also saved millions down here. (Like in most marriages, I don't have millions but my dear rebbetzen knows how to spend millions) 

BH survived unscathed. There was a lot to look at but stayed focused.

Good morning fellas. 
Today is big ol Trump 45!
(Hey, I annoy both sides. I've refered to Harris as 'the future president')

BH I'm very excited for sukkos. 

I've done alot of gashmiyos preps for sukkos but not much ruchniyos preps. Usually I learn Reb Shimshon Pinkus to prepare but for whatever reason, this year I wasn't motivated. 
I will be away for Yom Tov with the extended 'Chai' mishpacha. Which will mean alot of little 'chayos' running around (plural of chai is chayos-i don't need you to love my jokes. Look at the title of this thread. I'm perfectly capable of laughing at my own jokes) 

IYH sukkos will be Zman Simchaseinu for myself and for all of Klal Yisroel.

I just want to thank all of you fellow winners and fallers and everyone in between, a special warmth filled Yom Tov. And may you all experience a true Zman Simchasienu. 
Your stories have inspired me to work on breaking free and BH so far (with a huge amount of support from so many of you tzadikim) I have been clean. 
You are all amazing people. May Hashem give you koach to continue climbing up the ladder of kedusha. 
Gut Yom tov

BH Yom tov was beautiful! Chayos all behaved! Like yemos hamashoach when all the animals will get along!!! 

Tomorrow I will wake up 50 days pure. 
Emotions are high (in a good way!) 

May HKBH bless you all with tremendous bracha and Hatzlacha and Parnassah!

As we lained first two days of Yom tov, וספרתם לכם חמישים יום.

I will have to find some time to write my thoughts and feelings. 
Im sure that there wasn't a 50 day streak for many many years. I don't want to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure about it. I'm talking 15 years.

Hold on to this feeling of bliss. Rock on to 500, than 5,000!!!
May you slide down the banister of happiness and get many splinters of success up your career
