"Also?" More likely than not, it's "Therefore...."

You are doing amazing. Keep it up.

As usual, our buddy Grant is right on target. I would just add, it might just be the other way around. Because you're having a good zman, you're staying strong with your streak. 
Either way, we all appreciate the updates and we're rooting for you. Keep it going!

Very true monseyyid. Great point.

Well, chickens lay eggs and eggs hatch chickens. 

Either way - it's working bh. Keep shteiging!

Day 22, b"h.

Definitely going to learn from the part that when you have that one second when you chap whats going on and can do something to stop it that you need to use that time and make it impossible to follow through.

Day 23, b"h, everything is amazing.

Working on willpower even when I'm not actively challenged!

Day 24, going great.

Part of my work is to read a chapter a day in The Battle of the Generation, that's what I'm counting, it helps a lot, especially since I don't currently feel challenged .

It's called laying a foundation for success.

Being complacent and then freaking out that you suddenly fell when nothing changed, is just not the recipe for succes.

Keep growing!

Maybe you could share what chapter you were up to.
In the place where ba’alei teshuva stand, even pure tzaddikim who never sinned cannot stand. (Rabbi Avohu, Brachos 34b)

Great free resources:
My favorite book for breaking free: The Battle of the Generation 
https://guardyoureyes.com/ebooks/item/the-battle-of-the-generation. Change your attitude and change your life!

Day 25, B"h, I think up to chapter 32, excellent so far, today was a bit busy and stressful, so I had to make a conscious decision to make sure to squeeze it in.

Day 27 (Mesupek) I didn't have time to read the whole chapter last night, super busy, though I did read a page, so I don't know to count it or not.
