5. Hey, it was inevitable that someone would, eventually. Forum threads aren't miracle cures. You've gone several (9 or 10) days, that's a good accomplishment!

Sorry buddy. Best we can all do when we fail..... pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and try again.

I've forgotten to post here the past couple of days. The fight is still going well! I've been spending way more time studying theology and way less time playing video games and I think that has had a strong impact. I feel so much closer to the Lord and a lot more peaceful. Praise Him!

So I last posted on the sixth, at which time I was up to 7. 8 0 1 (today) If I'm understanding the numbers right, starting over at 0 again means "a relapse"? (that's a rather dramatic word, for a situation which may not be dramatic at all) Prayers and best wishes bro.

anfauglith: Any updates? Are you still doing this? Thank you for asking! Since my last failure I started over again. And failed again. Since December 9th I started over again. I don't know. Like so many times before I fear I might be too weak in the end.

Like so many times before I fear I might be too weak in the end. Fair enough. Hey, just do what you can. You're being too hard on yourself, dude. Overcoming any habit, any addiction, etc is a process. Very, very rarely does anyone just "quit". Like, I'm not saying you have to take part in this thread, of course. But whatever you do, don't be so hard on yourself! Just stand up, and keep fighting. 3

Thank you for asking! Since my last failure I started over again. And failed again. Since December 9th I started over again. I don't know. Like so many times before I fear I might be too weak in the end. Sometimes coming to a full stop is too hard.... but maybe "less" rather than "none" will be easier? Lets say I want to be accountable for my anger and I got angry 9 times yesterday. GRRRRR!!!! :B I could easily see myself adding another "got angry" tick the following day, when I got angry for the first time the following day. XD Now if I'm counting progress, not perfection, getting angry 8 times after a day of being angry 9 times would in fact be "progress", therefore, "a success". Now that I hit 8, I should try for 7. Keep chipping away at it. Bad days happen, but looking at it at a weekly/monthly basis, is there an overall improvement? There's hope bro. Don't give up.

Sometimes coming to a full stop is too hard.... but maybe "less" rather than "none" will be easier? Yeah, that might work. Maybe it sounds like a lame excuse, but my impression is, that it works better, when I try not to focus too much on not falling into my habit. Sometimes when I practice a "I don't care"-attitude, I forget about it for a while.

Some good news. My wife and her sister have spent 2 days baking all sorts of quite tasty Christmas goodies. Like 10 different types of cookies, cookie dough balls, chocolate covered peanuts, pretzels. The bad news is.... My wife and her sister have spent 2 days baking all sorts of quite tasty Christmas goodies. While I have a hard time gaining past a certain weight no matter what I eat, If I go hog wild on the baked sweets (which I have years past), I won't feel good. (belly aches, crapalanches, etc.) I'd like to be accountable for myself, but this isn't an abstinence run. I mean, its the holidays and these are only around a few weeks once a year, gotta have SOME sweets. I'm going to set myself a goal of only eating sweets once a day. The amount, assorted nums in both hands, but then walk away from the Christmas tins. So, since I did this last night and the night before (successfully) I guess I'm starting with a 2? :B
