Hi. I just wanted to share an unbelievable story that happened to a good friend of mine. We were both struggling mightily in shemiras habris and shemiras einayim and we started a 40 day program to try to give us chizuk. You have to understand that he hadn’t been clean for...

To a member who had a fall, "AlexEliezer" writes: We always need to ask ourselves, "What's the plan?" I have found that the cleaner I stay, the cleaner I stay. Being sober doesn't mean not looking at shmutz and not acting out. Being sober means not taking the small drinks...
