Alright we’re back day 1. After 50+ days had a fall. Gonna get back up but the falls always happen at the worst/unexpected times just when u think you’re in the driver seat. Very frustrating. But what can I do. Gonna try to stay strong and post daily. Feel free to chime in. Thanks 

These are words of a real fighter! 
You're an inspiration!
Keep going... we're here to support you in your journey

Just a short thought I had over shabbos that's punkt nogea to your post:
שבע יפול צדיק וקם
The number 7 is known to be a number symbolising טבע. (Vs number 8 which is מעל דרך הטבע.)
It seems that as long as a person is within the framework of טבע, even for a Tzaddik falls are very normal. The main thing is that he gets right back up. Only if a person reaches a life of מעל דרך הטבע which is perhaps a life where he's only busy with torah study, tefilla and mitzvos, then he can be less concerned about falling... but for most of us who are still within the טבע framework, we must be on guard at all times.

Just a Hargasha... i wonder if anyone is maskim to the vort...

Keep fighting brother... you're awesome!
Much Hatzlacha,
UpAndDown

Just remember that Hashem knows how many clean days you have, even with your counter set to 1.
:pinch: Warning: Spoiler!

Falls are tough, no doubt about it. You’ll get back up, and restart with a drive, I know it!

Keep your chin up buddy, you’ll get through this….

Day 3: last couple days have been ok. Desires are bubbling under the services. Trying not to indulge.

Do you have anything that would serve to bestir lust? Triggers? Cutting those out may help ease the inner squeeze...

Here's wishing you success to keep trucking!

With a heart full of brotherly love,

I've got a feeling that you're still disheartened about the fact that you had that accidental fall and that you're back at the beginning of counting...
Just remember who you really are: You're a real fighter. You have built up tremendous skills over the past half year, you had a few long streaks. Really you should be counting this as day 60 or similar... because that's where you're really holding. The fall was an accident, you might have fallen on the outside but in regards to all that you've worked on, your Pnimiyus, you've not fallen at all.. 
Keep that in mind and stay strong!
You can do it!
