Shmiras Einayim for a Woman - continued
 
By Sarah
 
By GYE Member

In response to a recently published question about the importance of shmiras eiynaim for a Jewih woman, a female GYE member sent her account:

"Recently, I went overseas, and I watched a few movies on the plane. I didn't think there could be anything wrong with it as I am a female. However, when I came back, I could not stop thinking of the movies and the message they gave. I can't even say it was the bad things I saw. It was more the message they gave. (Think 'romance' when everything always turns out perfectly at the end. These things never even happen in real life). BH, I'm very happily married, and I'm settled, and I managed to get over it. But it was hard work.

That's when I realized that ladies can't do whatever they want in this area."

25 Steps to Beating Porn Addiction
 

Please check out the full guide to beating porn addiction in this and upcoming issues (For the first in the series, please refer to issue #1436). The creators of the infographic have taken each of the 25 strategies and provided clear practical actions to take in detail:

LEARN A NEW SKILL

    And on the theme of learning new skills, rebuilding your life means replacing one bad habit with good habits and activities. This is the opportunity to reach high and learn something new with all the time you have now that you’re aren’t wasting it watching porn. Learn a language or a musical instrument. Try out rock climbing, start a new business, become a motivational speaker. The world is literally your oyster.

    I feel like the next Sir Issac Newton or Leonardo da Vinci. since I quit a month ago, I’ve literally: started a business, taken up piano, been studying French every day, been programming, drawing… and have more awesome ideas that I know what to do with…

Do you think you may have a porn addiction?
 

Do you have a problem with obsessive and compulsive porn use? Have you seriously tried the tools on GYE and feel that you are not getting better? Maybe it’s time to consider joining a 12-Step program.
