By the way, just realized - the chofetz chaim is talking about someone who restrains themselves, even for just a moment. But you did more than that - you reached out, trying to avoid doing the aveirah entirely! You "risked" completely losing the chance to do the aveirah! If anything, that's even more incredible!
OK, so thinking more about your original post (Thanks, Holy Yid, for reminding me)...first of all, yes - it would be nice if we could sleep till we woke up tzaddikim!

But our job is to work, and
make ourselves holy.
And you spoke about being alone...have oyu ever considered an accountability group? Where if one person falls, everyone restarts their count? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on it. I haven't considered it before, but I'd be open to the idea of linking forces with you...
