I'm in a clean streak now and it certainly feels different. I'm reading more (yourbrainonporn.com as well as much of the online materials here). I had some major stress today. In the past, it has led me to try to escape. I'm not doing that now. I'm listening to music, ...

Dear GYE, It's been over a month since I sent GYE my first question, It was at a time when I was in a state of confusion and tension Struggling with lust fantasies and masturbation, I wondered the Torah approach in this equation I grew up in a frum home full of love, I ...

Shalom Aleichem Ya’akov, MANY THANKS – I did my 1st Shvua after we emailed last month, and not one slip BH. It expired today and I just renewed. I had restricted my iPhone (long ago – friend set up code) but temporarily he gave me back the code as this was only way I ...

I'm currently going through the beautiful and incredible GYE Handbook, and I really find it helpful. I read a bit of it every day or so. At some point, I came to something very interesting in Tool n° 3. They write that if you're blind, then you don't lust. Well, I'm bli...

My name is Binyomin, and I am a sexaholic. I have been sexually sober since August 18, 2016 with the help of Hashem, the fellowship of SA, going to meetings and working the steps. I was introduced to sexual stimuli as a young child. Since then, I lived a fantasy life....

I have struggled with shmirat habrit, like many of us, my whole life, ever since I was about 10. I always used to think only I had this insane problem, and I felt guilty, sick, depressed, alone, suicidal etc. - that is until, Baruch HaShem, I came across GYE and realize...

I'm pretty sure I've gone more than 90 days clean, BH, of not masturbating. The trick was having a chevrusa at night till 10:45 and then one in the morning at 6:15. I also do not have internet access on a laptop and enough gigs on my phone to last me 3 hours if I watc...

I am a 30 year-old Chassidic man who learns in kollel. Ever since I can remember, I have always been obsessed with desire for women of every type, denomination and variation. Over the years, I would masturbate in hiding. Gradually, it got worse and I started getting invol...
