hey BSD!
i'm not sure how much of a boost this is, but take comfort in knowing that Hashem is proud that you're still fighting and that you are coming to the forum for help. the simple fact that you keep working is an inspiration. just from my own experience, just keep at it! as long as you keep at it, results will eventually come!

think about it like this: where we both are (the trip to 90 days) can sometimes seem to be like running on a tredmill. we're stuck with the same surroundings and it seems like we're getting nowhere despite all of the work we're putting into this. but when you look down at how far you've travelled, the treadmill doesnt read miles, or, heck, even days but the counter reads infinity! remember, every moment that you work towards holiness is a timeless bond between you and Hashem that will never go away. if thats not a boost, i dunno what is. 

we're all rooting for ya!!!!

Awesome!

Today is the only day you need to focus on. Can you stay clean for today? Just today? Yes, you can. Right now, no matter how strong the urge is, you can stay clean - for a day at a time, an hour at a time, 5 minutes at a time.

Rock on!

4 days - that's great! Keep it up, and remember, one day at a time...you can prepare for future tests, but don't focus on them. Right now, the only urges you need to fight are the ones that are here right now. Tomorrow's urges? Not your problem.

I know it helps me if I visualize myself being tempted, and just getting up and walking out of the room. So when the situation actually occurs, I already have training in walking away.

And thanks for your davening - it helps!

That's great - see? That's where you're holding, that's what you're capable of!

It's funny, I've had a few dreams like that as well...well, it was just me, but basically, I had the chance to do an aveirah, and I walked away! It feels great!  ;D

I'm back again after a break from internet access!
During my break i found that although i wasn't using the net. But since i wasn't involved in gye i was very easily tempted to look around whilst on the street etc- which caused me to fall. However the whole reason i got rid of my filtered net was becaused i found a way round it and fell!
What i've come to realise is that i can't shteig without gye and if you're not shteiging then you're falling!!
So today is a new start!

That realization is very valuable - how are things going?
