Don't wait till tomorrow to win, use today. Please...you don't have to do it yourself. We are here for you. Give over the fight to Hashem. If you wanted to fall you would have already. Your holy neshama is fighting back againt the menuval. Don't take any more peeks, it only makes the struggle harder. Today is all you need to worry about. And if your hurting inside, cry, cry out to Hashem. Tell Him how you feel, about your conflict and what your goal for today is.

Whatever happens, Hashem loves you and we love you. Your an inspiration to us all.

One more thing, dear Struggle (that name seems more appropriate at the moment):

Don't fall on a whim.  I'll say it again: Don't fall on a whim.  Falling is too painful to do just like that.  If a person, c"v, feels like he must fall, he should, at least, think it through.  Write down 10 reasons you don't want to fall.  Then write down 10 reasons you do want to fall (if you can come up with that many).  Then take the issue "under advisement," and don't issue a decision before tomorrow. 
Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

"If G-d had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring. He sends you a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He listens. He can live anywhere in the universe, but He chose...... your heart. Face it, Friend, He is crazy about you!"

Kedusha,

thats why its so scary for me
cause if it will happen it will happen on a whim
maybe a sudden one
maybe a psychotic crazed "though out" one
if i can accomplish what youre suggesting id be in good shape

Battleworn,

thats beautiful,
more tears...

Dear Struggle,

Please read this article.  I was crying the entire way through.  It may help you "switch gears."

sturggle, I feel for you brother, I really do and don't know how I can say to help.  30 days, wow!  I fell at 32 days and was told in SA that it get very difficult around the 30 day milestone and then it finally passes.  There must be something to it, a reason why the yetzer hora puts so much effort into destroying the 30 days or maybe it's psychological, either way, accept the impossible pain and ignore the crazy obsession and try to pass the milestone period one half hour at a time, good luck, i'm davening for you.

yeah sturggle im old and im bitter...the reason for the bitterness? because i shouldve done this when i was your age, instead i made this so much more difficult on myself by not properly addressing the problem sooner....so my message to you is: you will have to deal with this sooner or later; it will not go away by itself...the earlier you start, the better off youll be...wait until youre my age and youd have thrown away so many good years and youll be making out dated a team references on a forum in 10 years...seriously, if you choose to blow away the 30 days you will making a huge terrible mistake that you will realize a mere 10 seconds after youve done it...do yourself a favor and be strong; stand tall; take a punch, youre strong,  but dont let it knock you down...

Dear RAM,

It's such a pleasure having you on the forum!

I can relate to the notion of wasted years.  But we need not look at it that way.  Instead, we can channel our experience into helping others, which means, in effect, that all those years weren't wasted after all.
