Hey everyone, first time posting on here. I've been working extremely hard on my shmiras habris for 3 years now using all sorts of techniques including all the gye stuff and I'm now BH on the longest streak of my life.  As we all know, one fall feels so much worse than one day of success feels good. I'm curious as to what techniques people have used to try and build neuropathways of simcha from each day of success. I have one that has personally been working for me recently that I'd like to share, but I'm curious to hear others answers first. Looking forward to your answers!

Whats yours?

Treating yourself with something special (even something small but meaningful) after a certain amount of days, it should be after 5-10 days

So my technique is something that honestly works specifically for me and may not work for many people due to my spirituality style. But I tried last year to buy an expensive bottle of bourbon to celebrate 90 days and to motivate me but I ended up having my worst fall ever arguably (worst in amount of time but not worst things I've looked at) after 20 days, so this time after many more removals of triggers from my life and having new techniques to deal with triggers, I reset my sights on that bottle but I also printed out a 90 day calendar and put it on my wall and then I'd put two checks on it everyday, once in the early afternoon and once at night. Each time I check off the calendar I blast music that I really enjoy and connect spiritually to and I dance for about about 3 minutes with the biggest smile on my face and thanking Hashem for letting me be zoche to another half day of shmiras habris. This baruch Hashem has really helped me feel besimcha every day and when I feel urges I will reimagine myself either dancing or opening the bottle in celebration to rewire my neural pathways. I can say today that I've now been zoche to 4 weeks of shmiras habris after fighting for over 3 years at this point, it's unreal for me right now. May hashem allow me to continue this streak to 90 days and beyond!

Do you have an accountability partner?

Love yourself for every passing day that you fight the YH, even if sometimes it seems like he won.

sort of, I have a friend in yeshiva who I speak with about it all the time and keep up with him about my streaks. But I can't say it's a full accountability partner relationship

Try HHM. It is great to have a friend also, but accountability works!

I hear, but tbh, I find that just having someone online who I speak to about these things is actually a trigger for me which is why I generally have stayed off the forums here and probably will continue to do so after this. Having one of my friends who I speak with in person about it so far has worked for me, something about the online medium and nature of the relationship being basically around this issue seems to be a trigger for me for whatever reason.

I dont mean online, reach out to HHM, you wont regret it!
