Transcript of GYE Boost #547 We all know that one of the Yetzer Hara’s greatest tools is to convince us that we anyway did so many aveiros and we’re surely going to gehenom anyway, so why bother working hard. I’d like to show how this way of thinking is not only wrong, b...

Transcript of GYE Boost #548 Chametz on Pesach equals poison, a very strong poison. It’s not even nullified in 1000 parts and any derivative of chametz is also chametz. Our sages compare it to the Yetzer Hara and we are all working very hard to rid it from our homes and t...

Transcript of GYE Boost #421 I heard today from a Choshuve Yid, R' Yehoshua Kleiner. He was very close to the Beis Yisroel (of Gur). Years ago, as a bochur, he spent a lot of time with the Beis Yisroel. He's an old man today. May he live to greet Mashiach. He once asked t...

Question from member "wilnevergiveup": I am a serious avreich learning full time, I learn mussar regularly and constantly strengthen myself with various incentives. I can then usually keep myself clean for 2-3 weeks, then this or that and I am back to square one. I will t...

I used to be scared of giving up the lust. This was when I was using it as a means to fill an empty void deep inside of me. But when I did much honest soul searching, I was finally willing to take "risks" - which were just in reality "trusting in Hashem" no matter what, a...

We hope you enjoyed last week's Shabbos newsletter (click if you missed it). As explained when we launched the project, many of our members get their chizuk from the GYE website, forums, emails and videos, but when Shabbos comes they don't have their chizuk life-line. Th...

I just want to thank you for everything. I cannot believe that I was able to move on, and that the thoughts and feelings that had taken center stage for so many years have finally loosened their grip on me. I realise that I am able to walk in the street and not be trigger...

I struggle with lust as far back as I can remember. I’m married now and I have a loving wife with beautiful children b”h. My wife knows about my struggles, but not the extent. I just started my journey on GYE and I’m a few days clean. However it was still a struggle for ...

My dear brothers and sisters, it is not our way on GuardYourEyes to post these kind of images nor to write these kind of articles. But I feel that perhaps there is no choice due to the extenuating circumstances we all find ourselves in. I recently came across this frighte...

Question: I need to air out and relax from work, family, etc. How can I deal with stress? I'm looking for healthy ideas and (non-addictive) outlets... Reply: In general, the best way to deal with stress is to ask ourselves at every given moment "What would Hashem want ...

At the beginning of World War II, the Brisker Rav was in Warsaw and bombs were falling all around. The people who were with him at that time were having an argument over whether it was safer to stay in the basement, protected from a direct hit, or if the basement was actu...
