Today is 28. Wow! What clarity after 4 weeks of total staying away from lusting, and playing around the perimeter of lust. I know I have to be careful to curb my curiosity, and stay away from pitfalls.I am channeling my urges into reading and posting on this forum.For this whole period of time, I...

Greetings, I joined your mailing list a couple of weeks ago. I am very happy that I visited and signed up. I have been in a 12 step, AA for many years and was "familiar" with SA. I can't tell you how much this site has helped me. I too have been on Facebook and there is a lot of inappropriate beh...

This Wednesday was 30 weeks clean. I have just about no urge to do anything which I should not. On the other hand, the further I get from my starting point, the more I can "feel" spiritually and emotionally. People tell me that I look happier and I act nicer. I certainly don't look at women the w...

Hi. I just wanted to drop you a nachas note. Almost 3 months ago I had a baby. In the past, when I had a baby and my wife was assur to me, it was no problem, I just did the wrong thing. This time I was determined to see how strong I really am. It was a long haul. A couple of times my wife counted...

A great big MAZAL TOV to our member "Nura B'Amram" who has reached a full 90 days today and joined our ;Wall of Hashem's Honor on the Yartzeit of the Holy ;Ohr Hachayim Hakadosh.

I arrived at day 90 on the second day of Sukkos and I would like to now share some sentiments about what this organization has meant to me upon reaching my initial goal. I also want to get my sights clear on the next goal and join a group to help suppo...

For the first time in many years, I just took some time to learn this afternoon in the Sukkah and just enjoy this mitzvah. I was able to identify with my feelings for the first time in many years. Es chatai ani mazkir hayom... I remember last year Suk...

I am a few hours away from completing an entire niddah cycle clean... I have not done that once before (in 8 years of marriage)... I know that at (not even) 30 days clean I am still a nobody but I think I may have at least let go of the "sheretz" and I...

I am holding by 22 days clean. Hashem just sent me a really hard test now, but I read what you just sent me (at least five times!), and now I'm feeling better. Thanks. My Rosh Yeshiva said today in the name of R' Yerucham, that we small people reach Yo...

A few months ago when I was reading the testimonials, I cried, because I was 100% sure that I would never be able to write one of those, and that I was be ;living in the grasps of ;giluy arayot and the yetzer hara ;for the rest of my life!!!!. But with...
