I felt utterly lost: for the first time in this battle, my tried and true strategy was not enough. I feared the worst! In my search for a solution to this dilemma, I learned from the GYE guidebook about making nedarim (specifically, the TaPHSiC method). That day, I mad a vow that made sense for my situation, and BH, I’ve seen the results firsthand. Now, when this backdoor presents itself at any given time, I remember my vow (and the amount of money I’ll have to pay if I fall) and I’m amazed at how effectively my lustful thoughts disappear!

I’m about to renew my vow for the third time (2 week intervals), and I’m so thankful to have found this solution as a compliment to my - already set up - fences. As I’ve come to learn, winning this battle requires a strategy, and while setting up fences is a smart first step, it’s critical to have a plan for when holes are discovered.
