I’ve realized that consistent posting makes me feel more connected to the community here, and that’s a really good feeling. also just wondering how did this reply show up? I’m on the GYE app and I pressed reply to your specific response, but I don’t know if it replied to you directly or just added this post to the thread. Please let me know thanks

Day 5 posting… Day 2 clean bh. Yesterday was a great day. No big urges and the small ones were dismissed quickly bh. Had a bit of an urge this morning to bring my phone into the bathroom, but bh I won that fight and decided I was better off letting it charge in my room. Not that I would have forsure fallen, but it would have been a much bigger fight. And why fight the big fight when I don’t have to? Fought the small(er) fight and left my phone out of the bathroom, and bh no urges. We fight on…

Day 3 posting… Day 2 clean. Mixed feelings about last night. Didn’t see any p. And had such a strong urge for m thought I Forsure was gonna fall. Took a shower thinking I’m gonna fall but the urge just subsided. Naturally I’m thinking obviously I’m gonna do it I have to. But I didn’t. I just said no. And hey that’s a huge win right? Do I get credit bc the urge subsided? Does this happen if I distract well enough? Is this how we fight? But hey I am proud. Big win

Sometimes the best war strategy is to hide while the enemy is shooting, once they're out of bullets the allied forces can easily annex the land... so credit is well deserved!

Talking with someone, is not about getting advice, it's about frienship, accountability & distraction;

Totally normal to have that feeling.

Question is only this: What are you going to do now, while you feel weak but before the time you are really tempted to act out, to make yourself strong?

Some suggestions: Call a friend/mentor and share how you feel. Listen to a Vayimaen, read TBOTG, or whichever chizzuk makes you feel pumped. Talk to Hashem and surrender these negative feelings and ask for strength to get through this day. Get busy, plan a schedule that keeps you out and about in safe places. Read the new "Mindshift" book.

Above all KOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!
