    You’re quite right, today is a new day with a better and clearer mindset!

    And yes, I did feel quite shitty (still do tbh) but I found some peace in praying (not preaching btw, each to their own). I just prayed for more strength moving forwards and mental clarity.

    I think something that might help is also noting down what the previous issues were that led to slip ups. So when we read them back we’re constantly reminded to be even more watchful and cautious.

    This process is quite humbling tbh, certainly realising how the shortest period of overconfidence could knock you as much as being complacent.

    @BookNerd42 it seems I’ve found a companion in counting the same number of days, let’s get it :emoji_punch:

    strength and positivity to y’all!

    Day 22 yesterday I had some of the strongest urges I’ve had in a while, made it through by the grace of God

    Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

    Day 23


    In my distress I called upon the LORD,
    And cried out to my God;
    He heard my voice from His temple,
    And my cry came before Him, even to His ears.
    Then the earth shook and trembled;
    The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken,
    Because He was angry.

    He sent from above, He took me;
    He drew me out of many waters.
    He delivered me from my strong enemy,
    From those who hated me,
    For they were too strong for me.
    They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
    But the LORD was my support.
    He also brought me out into a broad place;
    He delivered me because He delighted in me.
    The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness;
    According to the cleanness of my hands
    He has recompensed me.

    Yesss :emoji_raised_hands: good to hear you controlled the urge! Same here, Day 2 (forgot to check in the other day as day 1)

    Been a good day today, sun was out, I went for a drive, blasted some tunes in the car and did some retail therapy!

    I know the road is long and will be tough ahead, but it gives me some comfort knowing I’m part of this community and we’re all encouraging each other to continue on this journey together, come what may

    Strength and positivity to y’all :emoji_pray:
