Yesterday I was m'ing in the shower.
I felt like I really wanted to be doing it, and at the same time I wanted to stop, but it was too hard
iyh50 was on the phone with me, trying to be machazek me and help me stop. I was continuing the whole time he was talking, it felt too hard to stop, even though I knew everything he was saying was true, that it wasn't worth it & that I really didn't want to give in.
Then I told myself that even if I feel like I really want to give in and it feels too hard too fight back, I can pause for a minute, and continue afterwards if I feel like I still need to.
I stopped for a minute and didn't continue.
Boruch Hashem I didn't come to mz"'l.
Sat down to a seudas mitzvah afterwards.
