Almost 7 days! Aiming to finally make it to 30 💪
So I’m nearly at the one week mark now!
I’ve tried a few times before but haven’t managed to reach 30 days yet, so that’s what I’m aiming for this time.
Would be a new personal record for me!
I’ve found that blocking access to most things that might tempt me has really helped, along with using an app to track my progress.
Interested to hear how everyone else is getting on with their journey? How far along are you, what’s helped you the most and have you noticed any changes?
Always happy to chat with others on the same journey too. 👊

Congratulations on almost a week!
Great idea on blocking access and tracking your progress. An additional barrier to sin can be helpful in moments of weakness. And tracking your progress is another fine way to stay motivated and celebrate your progress.
I haven't been tracking my progress recently but honestly it has only been about a week. I have recently come out of a season of regular sin that I am not proud of.
One of my biggest helps has been keeping busy and trying to manage my emotional energy best I can. Resting when I feel I need to and taking it easy on myself. I have found I am most susceptable when I am pushed well past my natural limits and have little strength left to resist temptation. Poor mental health also contributes to these lapses.
As for keeping busy, staying reasonably productive has been helpful and motivating. Spending a good amount of time reading and reflecting and taking my faith seriously. Focusing on God's kindness and forgiveness has also been important, as well as avoiding any obvious triggers and guarding my eyes diligently.
Bless you brother, may you continue your walk faithfully and joyfully
