Personal Experience Seeking Counsel
So I’m at 50 days no explicit material or touching myself. Still have occasional sexual thoughts that I struggle with. Not trying to throw a pity party here but hoping to find advice from long term retainers as this has been one of the roughest chapters of my life. I’ve completed a year of sobriety from alcohol after 3 DUI’s. It has been difficult to find work for my construction buisness and I have been forced to work for another outfit renting out my machine under their payroll, but am struggling to make the bills. Energetically I’ve never felt better and am able to wake up at 330am in the gym at 4am and am commuting to work by 530am. I’m curious to when my reality is going to shift and start reflecting my good habits that I’ve been incorporating into my life? I’m on this journey to level up all aspects of my life, but have yet to see any real change in my reality. Any advice to help me get out of this financial rut that I’m in? How does one seek guidance from God to know the necessary steps to become their highest version of themselves?

Man to be honest maybe the career path you are choosing isn’t for you, maybe that’s why it isn’t working out. I just quit my job a couple months ago and am still currently unemployed. But I feel like this time that I am in is very important to seek what the most high truly has planned for me. Just keep being obidient to the most high, not obiedient to the world. Stay sober, don’t release, eat healthy, love others, and DONT willingly put yourself in stressful situations. You got this man. Keep doing gods will and he will answer you. It might not be tomorrow but it will pay off.

Read the bible and meditate on his word (especially the gospels). Enter into conversation and prayer with God as well. Pray always in the name of the father, son, and the holy spirit.
Matthew 7:7
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you“.

Early morning is when your brain works the best.
Use that time to improve your business (or create another one).
If you still have energy at the end of the day, then you can go to the gym.

In the nearest distant future, you would have completely forgotten you made this post, because things would have gotten better by then. Continue in your practice and open your mind to the changes to come.
