Having bread in the basket can actually be a harder challenge than not.

I agree,
thanks for the chizuk.
I would add (after being here a few years) that settings days might make it even harder.

I won't and can't give advice, I'm just doing whats good for me. 
I'm very active, I work, I'm busy, help at home, even though.....  I'm learning to deal with (out) it.
crying blaming isn't going to help, life is short and we got to keep on trucking.

wishing you all a great year.

Welcome brother

You gotta listen more to dov. His clarity is amazing

As I understand he defines Sex Addiction simply - like any other addiction. For example Alcohol. Many people can enjoy a beer or 2. Some can get drunk on Purim and Simchas Torah and not any other time. An addict however cannot stop and once the 1st sip is downed it's downhill from there

I don't think I'm an addict. But the tools for breaking free are not 1 size fits all. Many can gain from the same meds that addicts take. For a very small minority a big Taphsic fence is sufficient. But it's not for most of us.

You're on a good road pal

90 days clean!
Today I am clean from lust for 90 days. An interesting time to reach this milestone, just after Rosh Hashana and before Yom Kippur. I will do extra teshuva in the next few days. I feel happy with my progress and I'm confident that I will not go back to being how I used to be in the past. I would not have got this far if GYE didn't make an appearance in my life. I thank Hashem for showing me the right way, I thank everyone who contributed to this site and all the writings/books/pamphlets that helped me overcome the temptations of the yetzer hara. Also, I really enjoy reading through all the discussions and posts on the GYE forum. There are so many wise, learned people here to gain new knowledge from. I'm not going to relax and let my guard down now though, because there is still a lot of improvement and tesuva to do. I will continue reading and re-reading everything I've learned so I don't forget.

Mazel Tov. 
Im happy for you

KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!

Day #21

I made it for three weeks, and I'm halfway to Yom Kippur!  I never thought that I could make it this far.  Today I did have a little bit of a different struggle.  I had a desire (but not a tremendous craving) to watch a movie.  I haven't done this for about six months, well before I started this challenged.  I think that in the back of my mind I wanted to watch one with some pretty actresses in it and that was the reason for the desire.  It felt like it was a suggestion instead of a strong craving.  This too shall pass, I guess.

See everyone on day 22!

I like this guy. 
KOP!!!

If I had i would act out again most probably. Now I need to go a long way to get wifi and I only want to do that when I'm ready to put on filter right away and have some kind of support meanwhile to assure that I don't stumble those few minutes.

BTW, according to what I have read here ( guardyoureyes.com/articles/addiction-recovery/item/understanding-triggers-in-pornography-recovery?category_id=528 ) I also need to focus on my main triggers, which are my struggles in everyday life (not related to any sexual exposure) and my Complex-PTSD. For instance: now on the moment I am going through a hard time with some people (the emotional flashback I'm experiencing makes it way more tougher to survive, see www.pete-walker.com for a better understanding of emotional fglashbacks and Coplex-PTSD, it's so much different than PTSD and people confuse those 2) and I B"h have some tools to manage those so I'm less tempted to act out. I still have the temptation to do it and not even with my smartphone. There's enough ways to do it when I feel the huge need to escape and I wouldn't necessarily need a connection to internet for that.

Sounds like you're on a roll

You wrote that it's getting more difficult for you. What's the biggest struggle for you? How effective is your chart?

The chart is actually what saved me a couple of nights ago. I printed it out and hung it up by my computer and my mind started to wander, I was having the strongest urges since I started really trying to go clean, but I saw my chart and realized how bad I would feel if I gave up my streak of 7 days just for the desire in the moment. 

I think what's challenging for me is that I don't feel like I am accomplishing. I'm now clean for Shmiras Einayim and Shmiras Habrit for longer than any time in the past few years, but it doesn't give me some esoteric elevated feeling...It doesn't feel like I'm winning any wars, it just feels like I'm barely fending off the enemy. I feel neutral, not elevated. Does that make sense? Even a couple of nights ago when I was really desiring it and fought the urge, it didn't feel like a victory so much as a compromise. 

Tool #1 (Stopping) can be a peeling period for many, when the underlying motor is revealed, since ESC was hibernated

How does your motor look today?

Keep on trucking chaver. Keep it strong. you are a worthy person. Please share with us what you will be doing today to stay cleanfor the next 24 hours?

Thanks

This truck is broken

Why do you think I am a worthy person?

I am going to sleep and worry about this a different time


Wow Mayan, sounds like you're going through a really difficult time. Hopefully, the following will help a bit. It's ok if you're sleeping now, this is for when you wake up.

  מודה אני לפניך מלך חי וקיים
I am thankful before You, living & everlasting King
שהחזרת בי נשמתי בחמלה,
That you returned into me my soul, with compassion.
רבה אמונתך
Your faith (in me) is great!

When you say מודה אני in the morning, you can translate it as it's translated above. (Even if you already said it today, say it again, but slowly, with concentration.)

We all know the Hashem is the Ultimate everything. With regards to the greatness of faith, regardless of what the faith is directed at, however great anybody's faith is, Hashem's is infinitely greater.
In מודה אני, we say how Hashem(❗) has faith in us. Not just faith, but great faith❗

Now, if Hashem, who has the greatest ability for faith, if He believes in me, who am I not to believe in myself? Even if I don't believe in myself, does it really matter? The truth clearly is that I CAN do it, for if that weren't the case, Hashem wouldn't have faith in us.

Mayan, however broken your truck is, however much you consider yourself unworthy, this morning, our loving Father returned your soul to you knowing that today you will have challenges. He knows that today you're going to be tempted. He knows when & how you'll be tempted. Yet, the Master of the universe also knows how strong you are, even more than you know it. He believes that you're able to succeed today. If you don't feel that way, perhaps consider talking to Him about it.

Abba is waiting to see your success, you can do this!
It may be really difficult right now, but tell me: have you ever succeeded in the past when it was extremely difficult?

הצלחה אחי❗
If you already have God rooting for you, I seriously don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm rooting for you too!

Others have come here asking for advice how to fix others, e.g. Family they messed up, but themselves wasn't in the equation
