If not for our own shortcomings and faults, we could not relate to another's shortcomings and faults.
We can and should use our experience with the shadows of life to help others towards the light. |

Daily Dose of Dov |
All We Have is NOW |
|
By Dov |
To me there is no difference between day 3 and day 5,003. None whatsoever. And those are not just words.
Whatever progress I have made, I prefer to forget! The past is no insurance at all for me. What really matters is the truth about me: how I am right now!
Perhaps it's finally time to quit counting the days and focus on making the days count...
I pray for you that you never give up your "baby-like" dependence upon Hashem to stay sober even one single day, till you die after 120. That feeling of confidence that "I'll probably stay clean now, it seems that I've got it down" is precisely what I thought between the sickest acting-out binges during all those years when I was so incredibly busy "doing teshuva". I was always so sure I'd never go "back out there".
Thinking about tomorrow is just as poisonous to me, whether I say it comes from Hashem this time, or whether I say it comes from my own power. It's poisonous because: it's a lie. No one is sober yesterday or tomorrow. We are only going to be sober today. |

The Problem of Pritzus on Legitimate Web Sites
|
|
Part 1/2 |
|
By Other |
There is often a problem of pritzus even on legitimate web sites, that even with filters, accountability software, etc. you still can run into problems. An example I noticed recently: I was on a site that sold a product. This site is completely Kosher and would not be blocked by any filters, nor would it raise any red flags if a "web shomer" sees that you visited this site. But, on the site there was a picture of a girl using the product and the girl was not dressed tzniusly. Goyim consider this completely acceptable but we as the Am HaKodesh do not. The obvious answer is, in addition to using filters and accountability, one should, whenever possible, browse the Internet without images. The way I deal with this is by using the Firefox browser with a few add-ons. |
