Yaakov, who is a Talmid Chacham and has posted such beautiful Torah on our forum (click here to see all of Yaakov's posts), also programmed for us the automated ;90-day chart, the ;Wall of Honor and the ;profile page, and he continues to update and provide support for it all the time!Thank you, Y...

My first exposure to porn came at age 10. My addictive behavior picked up speed at age 12. When I was 16, I had a spiritual awakening and made a conscious decision to stop. However, despite all my efforts, my addiction grew and grew as it threatened my job, my family and ate away my spirituality....

The ironic thing about GYE is that to be part of it, I need internet access. It is clear to me that I need GYE as oxygen for my soul, on a regular basis, and for the support I get from everyone when I need it. I feel like my computer has been transformed from an Avizraya De'Arayus into an instrum...

I'm happily married to a beautiful and loving woman, and together we are raising a bunch of wonderful children, yet there is a side of me that no one knows about, a side of me that has been eating away at me for almost as long as I can remember. That side of me is the Mr. Hyde to my Dr. Jekkyl, t...

MosheW wrote today: Personal Count: 90 DAYS!!!!! My dear friends, the road has many forks, choices, choices, and more choices... Without a good "GPS" i.e. ;G-d, ;P rogram (12 steps),S upport (a good ;chevra, posting on the forum, etc.) it will be almost impossible to make it.   When MosheW first ...

It means so much to me to be part of the GYE community; I think I am bringing much joy and inspiration to my daily SA meeting because of how good I feel inside to be ;sharing my journey ;of recovery with such ;holy and special ;Jews. Even as I write this, I thank Hashem for such a ;wonderful gift...

I just wanted to mention that even though I had a fall yesterday after 70 days clean (due to some depression), I feel only mild urges to go back into the whole destructive cycle. I used to "binge" whenever I fell, but this time is much better.So I can really see how the 90-Day idea helps. My 70 d...

Till the age of 18 I was masturbating and viewing porn 5-6 times a day. I had no idea what I was even doing to myself, I never thought it was that bad. By 18 I came to realize the severity of my actions and I got on the roller coaster of Teshuva and depression. I got married at 20 and I thought m...

What is it that I, Silentbattle, Tomim, Trying and Momo have in common? What makes them so important to me? Why do I love them? We are so very different in so many ways... What makes GYE-ers great is not that we all share common backgrounds, common ;hashkafa, common sense of humor, common taste i...

I've been seeing the ;therapist (that you suggested) for a while; B"H we have a good repertoire and have been dealing a lot with core issues. We've spoke about acting out and the like; he's been on top of it and we've been using both hypnosis and practical methods. B"H I am down to mast* only lik...
