“Still clean” sounds like your just staving off an urge that you’ll subsequently succumb to.

Perhaps, but it's also the lashon of GYE when you update your 90 day chart. 
Do you have an alternative way of putting it? I'm open to suggestions

That's true. I guess it's in contrast to "I had a fall"...
I think "I am clean, BH" does justice to the state of being clean...

8 days clean bH
Still feel like I'm in need of chizuk, not really in the mood to be dealing with this stuff.
Just have this general feeling of being fed up of dealing and struggling to improve with this.
I have more to write, but struggling to put it in words
I just wish it would go away

I know exactly how you feel. I'm feeling the same today. I have nothing to tell you, just that I understand. 

Re: Square one 24 Mar 2021 19:56 #366039

Feeling a bit weak now. If I had access to something, I think I would have just fallen without even thinking first.

Day 9
Bh managed to stay clean

Acted out this morning, so I'm back to 1️⃣
I think I'm going to go ahead and switch gentech, netspark doesn't work reliably for me.
I think my current goal should be to make it to shabbos clean

Re: Square one 25 Mar 2021 16:11 #366077

Feeling a bit of an urge to act out again, need to stay strong and leave it at one fall and no more

Re: Square one 25 Mar 2021 21:38 #366088

Day 0
BH haven't acted out again since this morning, but still feeling a desire to. The clocks go back tonight, so need to get an early night, but could easily see myself staying up and acting out again.

This is me back at my worst. Unable to go beyond 2 weeks clean. I've not recovered since I went 68 days clean a few months ago (Fell on Jan 26th, 13th of Shvat). Yes I get a few days clean here and there, but lemaaseh I know this is my dark place, the rut I'm stuck in. I feel like these days count for nothing, its just going from one fall to the next, and I'm starting to hate it. I don't get out the starting blocks before failing again, time and time again. Why am I starting this year's yetzias mitzraim back on the 49th level of tumah?

Fell again today. Going nowhere quickly

Re: Square one 29 Mar 2021 22:30 #366131

Had a nice Yom Tov so far, but back to square one yet again

Re: Square one 29 Mar 2021 22:43 #366132

Although I've reached out to different people, spoken to a friend and I post here, I've been feeling alone in this battle recently
