That is a tremendous accomplishment, as you may have read in the book The Battle of the Generation. (If not, check it out!)

Have you considered reaching out to anyone? Many people here have found it to be a very powerful tool on this fight. 
(If you are ready, or at least close enough to make the jump, I would recommend starting with Hashem Help Me - HHM - as he is the mentor-in-chief around here. He has helped hundreds, present company included. He is reachable at michelgelner@gmail.com. Some of the other wonderful people here are amevakesh (PM), eerie 1gimpelovitz@gmail.com, Muttel  Muttel15@gmail.com.)

The main thing is to...
KOMT!

I'm sorry to hear that your streak is over and your having a ruff time with it.

Ask yourself, why does a streak matter?
Learn from your mistakes. You regret what you have done and yah it sucks that we have to deal with what we do, but what's our purpose in fighting the yetzer harah?

If we fall once in a long while then we are winning overall, but of we tell ourselves "oh it's only 1 time and it's been so long, or, I just fell anyway" then the y'h is winning.

It's our job to get back up. Yah, ODAAT is an extremely helpful tool we use to win in the long run, but also remember the goal to be a better person living a life with our minds clear and in control. I'm sure you can notice how much clearer your mind is after 47 amazing days, now think of how much clearer it will be in another 47 and beyond.

I hope this helps

Just want to update that BH did not fall yesterday. This is something special as in the past, a fall always meant a few day/week rut.

Thanks foolie/ jewizard21 for pointing out that streaks don't matter - you kept me going and now I have a 2 day streak in the making!

Hey everyone!
After going through a bingfest of P & M for last few weeks basically non stop...I finally caught myself just in time. I entered one of my trusted websites that the filter doesn't quite know about and before hitting enter, I switched to GYE. Spent the last hour or so reading posts, and am convincing my mind its time to come back to living....
I am currently running on a streak of almost the whole day, and that is largely only because I do work for a living... but even without streaks, its time to come back. I can't live like I have been living. Its been hard on my marriage, I'm constantly looking for time to hide away, I can't concentrate at work, have not been giving my kids attention, and in general, just been craving non-stop. 
This is not the way I want to live.
So, tonight, I did not watch anything, I did not masturbate, and I will not.

Just wanted to say, BH I was successful last night and did not have a fall. I hope I can keep this going...
