Thank you so much for this message, lamaazavtuni. I don’t have the words to describe the benefits of this kind of message. With every message of support, I feel less alone in facing these challenges. When the urges come, I think about the people on this forum who help others, those who manage to overcome their struggles, or those who are going through difficulties but refuse to give up. It gives me more strength to fight back.
For example, this Shabbat was difficult at certain moments, but by keeping these thoughts in mind, everything seemed easier, which helped me overcome the urge much more easily.


Also, this Sunday, a similar urge came in the late afternoon, but instead of staying on my phone, isolating myself from others, and withdrawing into my own corner, I turned off my phone and went to spend time with my wife and children.


Thank you to everyone who gives hope to others.


Day 4 clean!!

Today, I feel very unmotivated in general. I’m struggling to pray, study, or work, and I know from experience that this kind of situation can quickly lead to a downfall, even if I haven’t really had any strong urges. It’s more about a slow loss of awareness and willpower, along with seeking pleasure.So, it’s important to stay very alert to avoid falling and to stay clean today as well. If anyone who’s been through this has advice on how to handle these kinds of situations, I’m always open to hearing it

Today was tricky for me because I was in a bad mood and I searched for inappropriate images twice during the day (images I managed to find). Each time, after a few minutes, I managed to regain awareness by thinking about you on this forum and about God.I can say, not too proudly but a little bit , that I more or less managed to hold on for one more day

My Brother,

Not once but twice you pulled yourself back after just a few minutes.

For whatever it's worth, I'm proud of you.
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.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you (via GYE, email, or phone - whatever floats your boat)

Keep going!!! . double digits is a big deal.

Recently I found myself getting chizzuk from really experiencing the win, feel good about it feel the strength you have. Its awesome to feel in control. (But still to proceed with caution and not get to confident.)

I want to share that  this night, I had a wet dream, so I'm writing here to stay aware of any urges or feelings that might lead to an urge. Every time I have a wet dream, I end up falling the next day. I can't explain the mechanism, but that's what I’ve observed. I'll see by the end of the day how things turn out

My advice....... Don't overthink.  Wet dream =  ?.............. fill in the blank.  If you tell yourself it means nothing then it means nothing.  You're just used to filling in the that blank differently and so your brain gets your body into flight or fight mode and you get that nervous feeling all day, I know but its ok,  chill there is nothing to get anxious about because wet dreams mean nothing at all.  

Have a great day tzadik
