I'm a beginner, not really a mentor on here. All that i can say is that it worth it! The greatest feeling in the world is being in control of yourself. Think about how proud g-d must be of you. If someone has a wife that loves them with all their heart, and some random offered them a night out, they would say; are you crazy?!? The same with g-d; when you would only grasp how much g-d loves you, more then any love in the world, how can you cheat on him?
Pray to g-d, without his help man can not control his urges.
Think long term: where do you want to stand in six monthes around?
weigh the short term relief vs the long term satisfaction, is it worth to give up your streak.
Hope this helps.
Good luck on your journey.

Seniors on here, please correct me if I'm wrong about anything.

If procrastination were a sport, I'd be the undisputed international champion!

It's kedai to have a connection with people for exactly such a time, so you can reach out and get some personal chizuk (and hugs). But even if you haven't established such connections, it's not too late. You can reach out to some guys here. Feel free to reach out to the email in my signature

Haven't been on this forum in years. Trying to do anything I can to prevent things from crossing a line. It's very special of you to come back here after years of not being here. Even more so is it special that after so much years of fighting you still won't cross that line you made for yourself! KOMT!!!!
