"Avi Ha'Oved" wrote in this amazing story (translated from an email we received in Hebrew): For many years after the wedding, we didn't have children. We did tests and discovered that the chances for me to be able to ever have children were close to zero. The doctor (who, by the way, is one of th...

With the help of my Higher Power who has kept me sober for over a year, I’d like to speak about what it was like for me, what my year looked like, and how things are now. How it was I thought I had hit bottom so many times. At every point of my life I never thought it could get worse, but then it...

My name is Boruch and I'm a regular chasidishe ;bucher learning in Israel. About a year ago, I read an article in the Mishpacha magazine (Lifelines section) about a man who struggled with internet pornography and found the site called GYE and recovered through it by keeping in touch with other ...

I was so completely shocked to see how much time I had wasted. I felt like I was wasting my life away and the darkness started to swallow me. I heard t...

; I came to this site by accident, of sorts. Yes, there were several decades of filth and smut in my days, but I always stopped, at least for a week or two, or more. Recovery and lack thereof did not consume my life. I was fine with the pattern. Of course, yamim noraim (mostly), I'd cry and beg ...

I’ve been clean from shmutz and self-pleasuring for close to 10 years now, but shmiras einayim is something I still struggle with, with ups and downs every few weeks, months, etc. Lately, I’ve been in a bit of a down. Not that the behaviors became worse, but I recently reached a point of yiush wh...

One of my favorite sayings is, "We have to realize and appreciate the ;s'char ;for being moser nefesh for the Ribono Shel Olam ;when dealing with this struggle: ;that Shomayim will, in turn, be moser nefesh ;for us." ; Recently, I had three days in a row where the going was rough. I really had th...
