I'm sitting on the bus, dealing with some unforeseen challenge to shmirat einayim, and I decided to click in to GYE - that focused me in a totally different direction. After several high quality articles, the daily chizuk, the shmirat einayim stories, great piece in He...

Two things in the email #1485 I liked very much, and they hit a resonant chord in my neshama. One was the graphic, '4 steps in responding to a porn tease': Get out of the situation. This is one of the strategies that I took upon myself, (even though I was not always suc...

"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 th...

Dear GYE, I am a frum married woman who has joined GYE a few weeks ago. I've been struggling to find a sponsor and direction as well as a 12 step group that would be the right fit for me. I have never wanted to go to a mixed SA meeting, but just yesterday, I have spoken...

We recently had our fourth child, Boruch Hashem, but in the past, such a happy occasion has caused me to resort to self-pleasure. I'm still trying to work out the causes, but I think it's based in selfishness, starting from a youth spent looking at porn, following being ...

I want to thank you, this website is a life-saver for my husband, and, I think, it will be for me also. Ima Gobbora I hit bottom from bottom, and I would probably be dead by now if it hadn't been for GYE. Thank you again and again. 1daat Shkoyach for all your efforts. Y...

I"ve been receiving your emails for a good couple of months now, and I thank Hashem for them. It gives me great chizuk in my times of need. I notice from time to time how my demeanor has changed changed for the better. For example, I live a very hectic life with KE"H a de...

I've been struggling for a long time with lust addiction. BH, last year I've been connecting to GYE. I have done over 30 sessions with Duvid Chaim privately (as my time zone does not allow me to hook up to the big book GYE calls). I am still struggling, but one thing that has helped me tremendously is the chizzuk emails, particularly the pieces from Dov.  I feel I really connect with the things Dov writes, and his comments have made recovery much more real for me.

I wanted to drop a thank you note for the wonderful thing you are doing. I am going through a very difficult time in my life right now, and the worst part is that the battle of shmiras einayim came back with such vengeance that I thought it was unstoppable! That is, until I saw a little ad in the Hamodia that said, "try us - you have nothing to lose". I did! The main chizuk I get from you is the chizuk e-mail - but it's every single day. There are times when I'm up and feeling I might make it through alive, and sometimes I realize that the yetzer hora is a very formidable foe. But there's always that reminder that there are others out there who have been (and are) in much worse places and still have the time to send out chizuk to us mortals.  I can't thank you enough for what you have started. (And for the handbook that you guys mailed me).

I just want to relate that recently I had the urge to take a second look at a prutzah that went by and I remembered the Chizuk e-mail about making a million dollars and it really helped.

"Kedusha" is one of GYE's most active members. He is always looking for ways to help promote GYE in the religious world, and to help other members grow. Just today, he posted a new incentive to help struggling members reach 90 days (see this post). And he was also the one...

I got an anonymous e-mail about this site and I've been lurking around for about a month now (thank you anonymous yid for e-mailing me!). I figure it's finally time I post a bit about my experiences. I just made it to level 3 in the 90 day journey. I'm 14 days clean! That...

Here's Yankel's first post on the forum: Hi, I'm new here. I'm happy I found this place. I've been struggling in shmiras ainayim since before I was frum, and 15 years later, although I'm married and have a beautiful baby boy, I'm still struggling. I have not yet read the ...

Rebbe of Thousands Dear Yesod Oylam, I am a Rov, Posek, Magid Shiur and Mechaber Sfarim. I have thousands of talmidim. I have been unsuccessfully battling this problem for at least 40 years. I read thoroughly the GYE handbook and would like to make the author my Rebbe."K'...

I have to say that the Chizuk emails have become my lifeline. I come in to my office after the pritzus in the street, and as I open my computer I have that familiar tingling feeling, but the Chizuk email keeps me in focus. Even more importantly, I am in correspondence wit...

Dear everyone, thank you all for your care and concern - and most of all - your love. Yesterday was Sunday, which is my hardest day, as I am usually alone in the office. Well, by the time I had finished with the Chizuk email and reading through all your replies in my thre...

Thank You GYE! Thank G-d, this past week I completed the GYE 90-day journey. It's been an interesting process and before I share some of what's worked for me I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you. Whether you realize it or not, you've all p...

Josh posted on the forum: Wow, unbelievable.... I had to wait to day 88 to gather enough courage to write here. I have been looking all my life for something like this website and it wasn't till my work mate forwarded me a link to this site... And as soon as I saw this si...
