hello.
im back at home.
nesivos shalom vort. the best light comes from that which is dark. after all said and done.the simcha of having one clean day after billions of not clean days that so many people here have said, it only came after all the hard work that they put into it.
btw, so so so many of the nesivos shaloms have very key concepts for us in recovery, im still learning them, dont have much to say about them.
day 8 or 9.
i have been doing much much much much much muc better in this count than any other count, its because i have this concept that i cant do anything by myself, its all hashem! hashem gave me this galus because this is the middah that i got myself into and now hashem and only hashem can get me out
goodnight

9 or 10.
still here. no time to post. i only have 2o or 30 min of time from when i get home until the call.
so just checking in

Glad to hear!

Remember, one day at a time...today is the only day that matters. This hour, is the only hour that matters. It's also the only temptation, the only test, that you can do anything about.

Keep on rocking!

keep on trucking

run a spell check

Keep on rocking, and rolling...and trucking, too. 

I can elaborate a bit, if you want (even if this wasn't necessarily what i originally had in mind): We think of stars as people performing on stage in front of crowds of thousands...but we need to realize that we are stars, what we accomplish every day just by signing in on GYE, giving a bit of chizuk, staying clean one day...is HUGE!

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that you've gotta be yourself, be original, and give lots of chizuk!

Rock on, friend.

ive been rocking and rolling and trucking. im on day 10. nd baruch hashem my attitude has been great, i have not even had to do any fighting at all. i did not use an ounce of energy to control myself. so how am i still clean and on day 10 or 11 (i keep loseing track, pretty sure that its 11 though) but how am i clean? thats an easy question, i havnt been fighting, BUT HASHEM HAS BEEN FIGHTING MY BATTLEs, the only thing is that i have to give it to him and ask him for help, he doesnt come in until we let him in. last night i had some lusting desires, and i gave it to hashem.

gevaldig!
keep up your great work
just be careful not to get lulled into complacency

Fantastic! Doesn't it feel great?!

yes, it feels great, im trying to remember that im still addicted.
theres more to say but i just got home, its 11 20 at night. cya tommorow, if it will lready be shabbas for some, then good shabas

have a great shabbos, and remember to celebrate the fact that you're sober! Get yourself something extra this shabbos that you enjoy!

very moving shalosh shudis, i sat at the table of an erlicher and a heileger jew who has cancer, he was saying a lot of tehillem, with a smile on his face...its shabbas, he probably wants to keep happy lekavod shabbas. raises a lot of emotion in my heart.
i think today is day 13. only have to keep myself busy for 2 hours, then im going to a melava malka.
gut voch.

HS
keeping yourself busy with the net is not recommended by our friends
GUT VOCH
Hatzlocho rabba

We also need to keep happy lekavod US!

No matter what the situation is, we can usually be happy, if we choose to. When there's pressure from Lust, especially (just for example  ), how we view the situation is the deciding factor in whether we feel overjoyed about being sober, or miserable.
