I thought about that but if it was just a plain davening issue, maybe I would get help locally. But I feel it's tied to a lot of the other issues in my life and wanted help from people here who understand our struggles. 
My offer still stands. If anyone wants to create some kind of accountability group or just some daily encouragement to daven and try with a minyan, please reach out. 

Dear Brother, 
Can you please elaborate on the bolded parts of you quote? 
I'm not clear on what you are looking for, but happy to shmooze it out and see if we're compatible. You have my number chaver.
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.
There is no "just" when it comes to lust.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you via GYE, Gmail (same as my username), or phone - whatever floats your boat.

Hi gents 

So yes, apparently I have been gone for a while. 
For good reason.

Let's do the good first. 

BH my streak continues. 
I have stayed clear of the stuff that wasn't good for me. No P or M for me. And coming up to a full year. 

The bad.
I still struggle mightily with Shmiras einayim. Ok that's not true. I don't struggle with it. I just don't bother keeping it. 
My wandering eyes (and brain) are on a 24/7 mission to seek out the nice sights of the other gender. 

Maybe if I stick around, I'll talk about why I took a break 
(Was nothing to do with anyone here. BH I'm still in touch with several good Yehuds from here. Some of whom I meet on a regular basis!) 

I hope everyone has a delicious Sunday. 
I didn't believe I could be clean
Until I actually got clean.
If I can do it, you can too!
