Well,these past days have been like hell,I've been down and of course I've fallen like a rock,been down to the ground way too long. Need to get up and keep on trucking. How should you tackle the mood swings and when you feel the mood is going down?

Hi WeWillWalk,

I had a fall yesterday as well and I feel pretty annoyed at myself as well. Let's take a walk together as we climb back up again. 

I'm trying not to get worked up and start blowing things out of proportion. Maybe this fall wasn't such a bad thing, because it's made me all the more determined to succeed and to strengthen myself.

Anyway, keep on trucking.

DL 

as bard would say
fell schmell

keep on trucking

bottom line: dont do it. "just today"
^{read it every single day} 

Hi 2nd chance

35 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!awesome, just stop doing what you are doing take a deep breath and think.......... wow
you are the next success story!

oh how i wish i would be there

just keep on trucking

Yosef, i can identify with the 'staying-up-late' issue as well as EBD's readaholic idea, i do both. I also think that it is important to not bite off more than you can reasonably chew at one time, as EBD said.
you won't grow away from the time-management issue in just one day (it takes about 2 weeks [kidding :) ]).
wouldn't it be nice if a one-time feeling of anguish or despair catapulted us into perfection?
i wish...
but that is wrong and it only serves to entrench the problem as it invites failure.
listen to EBD, make some smaller goals, appreciate the small victories and keep on trucking and working
BE"H you'll go far!

every hour (i should say every second) of not acting out of being sober is considered a big win. no matte what the reason is should it be just because it was impossible to do it..
i would say that every hour or so -no matter what when where- you should pause for a moment and.... congratulate yourself for the clean hour, yes i did it, im great awesome gevaldig im a hero   


make it your mindset
we need chizuk more then everything

keep on trucking

It's a good idea asking Hashem to help you not want to do it.

Keep on trucking.

Cheshbon,

i am quite excited to greet you, and of course there's too much to say

for starts, please post often-this is how we exchange and recieve the incredible wisdom passed around here that does brain surgery to us so effectively

and of course, read the incredible handbooks

and be honest, without triggering information please,

you already know to be patient, which will save you six months of anxiety


here, learn the tools of how to live a better and healthier life

and to identify WHY you are running to this shmutz to feel better

trade wisdom, share experiences or words of dispair

learn the term KOT (keep on trucking)

you do not even know what good you have found, my friend
whats going on exactly.?..
LET THE EPIC BEGIN!

Hi everyone.
I don't check this site anymore because I don't want to focus on my addiction, but I saw Kedusha's PM in my email. Nice to hear from you all. I hope you are doing well. Also nice to know you haven't forgotten about me. 

Thank G-d, I'm doing pretty good. I've been seeing a new therapist for about 4 months, and I find he's helping. Also, around 2 months ago I started taking medication, and that's helped me a lot. I now feel that I have bechira chofshit. I sometimes slip, but most of the time, make the right decisions. Before the medications, I really felt compelled, as if I had very little choice in the matter.

Not that we're counting    but I'm almost 11 weeks porn free and mz"l free. My previous record was 6 weeks (remember I raised a couple of buck for GYE then?). It's easier, but not easy. I am aware now when I'm about to cross (or have crossed) a line before getting to the red line. Once we cross the red line, it's almost impossible to pull back.

With the help of therapy, I've also improved (deepened) my relationship with my wife and kids. In fact, you could say that I've replaced my "virtual" fantasy relationships with internet women with my relationship with my real wife and kids. Much better for all of us! I've also been working on my relationship with my boss, and my attitude toward work in general.

It feels good working on living each day (and feeling good about myself), and not surviving through another day.

A big thank you to HaShem, my family, and my therapist for helping me so far.

7UP, are you still here? Do you still read the men's side? Hope you're well. (Can you say "hi" to me?)
Habib, how's married life? Hope you're well.
And to all of my guy friends who've supported me, thank you (and of course I hope you're all well too).
And to Guard--no words can express my gratitude to you. Thank you.

Guys, keep on trucking!

bard forgot to mention -

pick your self up,
dust yourself off...

keep your eyes on where you are going..

and get back in the truck

and keep on trucking

YOU CAN DO IT !
