sytv2002 OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 59 Karma: 1	Day 13 posting… had a great day was clean and distracted… but not the last hour. Big fall. Not as big as I used to indulge, but still a half hour around. Didn’t really fight it. Didn’t have the motivation. Like I didn’t care. Sigh… day 0 clean… onward

Day 6 19 posting… day 3 clean… not feeling so strong. I don’t know if I’ll make it today…

Totally normal to have that feeling.

Question is only this: What are you going to do now, while you feel weak but before the time you are really tempted to act out, to make yourself strong?

Some suggestions: Call a friend/mentor and share how you feel. Listen to a Vayimaen, read TBOTG, or whichever chizzuk makes you feel pumped. Talk to Hashem and surrender these negative feelings and ask for strength to get through this day. Get busy, plan a schedule that keeps you out and about in safe places. Read the new "Mindshift" book.

Above all KOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!

sytv2002 OFFLINE Senior Boarder Posts: 59 Karma: 1	Day 20 posting… day 1 clean… really almost made it yesterday. Got into bed really tired and thought I was safe. The YH acts quick when your guard is down. Oish. Big fall. Indulged in P and M. Poked the bear one too many times and it came back to bite me. Sigh… onward.

Day 21 posting… Day 2 clean. Completely clean day yesterday bh. No poking no searching no nothing. One can dream I’ll stay clean throughout Pesach. Hoping for my modern day Yetzias Mitzrayim. I don’t understand the idea of “one should imagine as if he himself is leaving mitzrayim”. What’s the כאילו? Why “as if”. That’s משמע I’m not, and need to feel “as if” I am. But I don’t feel that’s true. I literally am having a Yetzias Mitzrayim. I mean I hope I am. Not “as it”. I am! I’m leaving my Mitzrayim! Hopefully for good without turning back. I hope we can all be zoche to leave our respective “Mitzrayim’s” over this beautiful chag.
