There are people with way longer streaks than I, and some of them were much deeper than I. What I can say is that Bright is right that it is YOU that changes. The YH never goes away, so anyone can technically fall. Very important is to never become complacent. Always remain vigilant. But realize that even if you do fall after 200 days, YOU have still changed! And that is the goal here, to change you, and the new you will beH be healthier in it's attitude and susceptibility towards unhealthy sexual-related things
Keep trucking, my holy friend! 34 days is great!

Just keep going, friend.

One day at a time doesn't just mean holding on and not falling. It means changing a little each day, so that today I am a person who is satisfied with my life of positivity , Tahara, new patterns and thougts.... with time comes growth and lasting change.... 

The Yetzer never goes away until we do. But the battle changes, as we do.... There is hope. We are alive. There is growth and Chaim.....

There's an ocean of material to learn from if you search the threads here in the forum.
two personal sources of constant inspiration are Vehkam's thread "Work In Progress" and Gardener of Grodna (BB Forum). For some reason I can't figure out how to copy the links right now

Keep soaring! Gut Shabbos!

Beautiful! Keep trucking, my holy friend!

42 days bh! So hard! Sorry p&m your home is going through renovations right now & hey Urges would you please knock before you come in?

BH nowadays renovations take a long time! I like your metaphor with the urges, they will come but they should at least let themselves be known that thats all they are, just urges!

Lol

45 days! Heading towards 90! Half way through!!! Hopefully the second half goes a little quicker…

Mazal Tov on 45!! 
it might not go quicker, though, I hope that it does. But please be aware that it might not. 

In words similar to that of the late, great Dr. Ted Geisel (Seuss):

I’m afraid here to say it,
but sadly, it’s true
that bang ups and hang ups 
may happen to you. 

But!
You’ll go on, over mountain and creek. Though your sneakers may leak. 
And you’ll get there! 

If you expect challenges and curveballs, and keep trucking, with Hashem’s help , day at a time, internalizing the daily changes, slowly, with maybe a hand from a friend now and then, you shall achieve freedom!! 

“Kid, you’ll move mountains! “

47 days! Going through a major urge storm. urges seem to be getting stronger by the hour the last few days

Tie yourself to the mast, not to get thrown overboard.
Stormy seas do not last forever.
There are calm seas ahead
