I'm on day 35 but it's been getting hard at work although I'm limited bh due to the skin  tone filter, there is room for people like me to fall. How can I call someone (British time)?

the main thing is get up after the fall and not let the YH use it as a tool to keep you in that trap.

its worth listening to this Shiur from R' Shimon Spitzer which sums it up really well.

From my experience counting clean days by itself isn't a long term solution. It must be done together with daily inner work. Have you read the book "The Battle of the Genration" yet? Or is there any sefer or book that speaks to you? 

Wishing you tremendous Hatzlacha!
Don't get to bogged down by the fall, over the last few days you've definitely made more decisions to overcome then to fall. You've got the upper hand over the YH!!

Bh Hashem it's day 9.
What's the right perspective on wasting time trying to get round filters without actually falling. It probably means that I would have fallen had I succeeded to get through the filter. That probably means I'm not getting to the route of my  problem. How do I work on myself so that I shouldn't even try to bypass filters.

I've fallen again, this time at work when I was alone. 
I'm struggling to understand myself. I've managed in this situation before. The setback chain hasn't enlightened me this time.
