Here are some tips that are helping me and I hope it can help others too in their recovery work.
Please share your "recovery work" tips here as well.
1. Focusing on getting through today. Prioritizing recovery work first before other things that were a high priority for me in the past.
2. Prayer: verbally and meditation throughout the day.
3. Being brutally honest when it's hard/embarrassing & looking for ways to humble myself.
4. Recovery from this struggle/addiction/obsession requires removing 2 words from our thoughts - FEAR and GUILT. This obsession feeds itself on those feelings
5. Phone calls and surrendering when feeling deregulated for any reason. Lust is never a good option.
6. Setting alarm reminders on the phone etc to think about connection to Hashem.
8. Fellowship. Interacting with the fellows in person and in chat.
9. Staying away from any possible triggers. Consciously not looking when out in public.
10. Steer away from getting any highs - in order to avoid the lows that follow.
11. Helping others and in general looking for acts of chesed, in recovery and out.
12. Recognizing the goodness of Hashem, the miracles and the joys of life and sharing them publicly.
