Mazel tov dear brother!! It touched my heart reading this great news... (sundays were usually the posts about the struggle with the boring course....) I'm so so happy for you! May you be able to grow and thrive! 

P.s. I'm lucky to share my 90 days achievement day with you, also for the first time... 

Mazel Tov Sapy!
I'm so happy to see you reach 90!
In your honor I will be making a lechaim!

been busy, i almost forgot to post today!

Thank G-d, I am 7 weeks clean. 

looking back at where i was a year ago, struggling, falling, trying, giving up, trying again; i am amazed. 
it all pays off in the end. all the failed attempts eventually led to (just over) 7 weeks ago, when i started this thread. 

i dont know what challenges i may (will) face in the future, but right now i’m just focusing on the fact that i am 7 weeks clean. 

it feels good.

Mazel tov! Amazing!

Was there something you think that specifically helped you get over the top?

I don't know why I decided to do this, or what gave me the strength, but last night I sent my father the following text....  

"You don't even know how much I appreciate having understanding parents... I don't know why I feel like sending this text but I decided I will.For the past couple of years I've struggled really hard with shmiras einayim and shmiras habris... I've developed terrible habits and I was feeling so guilty and alone. Even when I originally found GuardYourEyes  I wasn't ready and it was not working. BH this year I have reached a point where I was able to confront myself and realize I've got an issue... I got really involved with GYE. I spoke to my Rosh Yeshiva a lot I spoke to my Mashgiach and I came to the conclusion that I'm normal... And I can beat this. I got this amazing mentor from GYE who has explained to me what the proper outlook on sex and intimacy is and how what I have been doing is so detrimental for the beautiful marriage I hope to have BezH at the right time... BezH when I wake up tomorrow morning it will be my first week clean in I don't know how long and it's the first time I believe I can beat this no matter how hard it will be...."

I'm still not sure why I decided to but it felt so good to share it and get so so much support from my loving father. After this I was just sitting in bed crying and crying (for the second time yesterday, good thing my roommate didn't walk in again) I have been waiting and davening for these tears for years!!!!!!!!!

To quote my mentor, HHM: HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Appreciate every day your understanding and supporting parents. You’ll get through this!

38 days, pushing through it. I haven't updated the chevra on my davening situation in a bit, but I am now BH davening shacharis and mincha every day with little difficulty. I think I'm ready to incorporate maariv, honestly I have no reason not to at this point. So my goal from here on out is to daven every service! I have never been able to keep this up for more than a week, but I think I'm actually in a place where I can take it on successfully, G-d willing.

You're amazing! Keep it up...
As a side note, davening Maariv when it is dark outside is symbolic of praising G-d even when things are dark and bleak.

I’ve come to the realization that I need to change my game plan. It’s not enough for me to have filters and a knas system for falling. Filters don’t help for other peoples unfiltered devices , and a knas doesn’t always serve as enough of a deterrent. That doesn’t deal with the underlying issue. I still have a strong desire and “need” to act out. I still believe on some level that porn is good for me. I need to change that. Maybe I need to make a pro/con list. Did that awhile back and it seemed to help for a period. Any comments or suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Maybe get a partner? guardyoureyes.com/tools/partner-program
