See this article about the power of Teffilah on Purim.

The Rizhiner explains that in one way, Purim is greater than Yom Kipur (Yom Ki- Purim. A day that is only "like" Purim, but not as great).

Yom Kippur atones for the Shavim (Those who return - i.e. repent), while Purim atones for the Shavim and the Aino Shavim (those who return and those who do not return).

Someone recently wrote on that thread:

When i first found this thread I was laughing my head off, if a thought of lust entered my head i pushed it out without any effort since i was in such a "high" from the jokes, i realized then that i probably fall due to escaping feelings of sadness, that's when i realized that if i can labor to gain a happy mind with accomplishing good things (like the good old days) it might be a cure to my lusting, and you know what, on days that my mood is good and appy and i feel accomplished, i have a hope to saying no to the lust!

Rabbi Neuberger Shlita in his great Artscroll english sefer, Positive vision,writes something to that effect that when we are sad we tend to look for forbidden pleasures as an escape. And that explained something written in Chasidishe seforim which i never understood, that when one is bi'atzvus, that strengthens the forces of impurity on oneself , and i thought it was always a kabalistic idea which one can't understand, but after reading Positive Vision, i realized that its just a natural human instinct for a person to run to impurity thinking that this will save himself from the depressing thoughts, and sometimes it does dispel the thoughts of sadness, but Oy! the hangover afterwards...
