It's been hard recently. My wife and I have been "off" for about six weeks due to a change in medication, and it's been hard. I stumbled with computer stuff once or twice but I picked myself up and started again. I find it's about keeping to my own rules. If I am meikel,...

GYE and SA

By obormottel
GYE was indeed very useful in helping me realise, over a period of time, that I was actually an addict, rather than simply having issues with shemiras einayim. I have therefore now joined a local SA group. I tried the 90 day challenge, and when I repeatedly failed to ac...

Recovery Story

I came to GYE website about 10 years ago, because I was looking at porn once a week on my phone. I was learning in yeshivah at the time. I wasn't a huge consumer of porn, but I always felt terrible about it. I think I tried every one of the tools on the site at one point...

Fell on My Face. Can't Get Too Cozy!

Physical Pain

By obormottel
To all those that say there are no physical side effects/danger to p&m addiction (as opposed to hard drugs), here is my story. I've been going through a hard time lately and acting out more frequently then in the past. After one such incident, I began to have physi...

New Life

By obormottel
Around a year ago, I was preparing my wife's leichter on Friday morning after she left to go to work, when something hit me. Had this been a few months earlier, I would have been in the bathroom watching porn instead of preparing the leichter. My sobriety gave me the op...

It's not hard once you bring Hashem in the picture!

I'm a teenager. I was out of hope. I couldn't stop; it was painful to stop and the desires kept coming. So I decided to learn about wasting seed in general, and when I found out that what I'm doing is a severe sin every time I would be tempted I would speak to Hashem, my ...

His Presence is Real

By obormottel
I remember once when I was a child I had a very close relationship with Hashem. Then over the years I only checked in once in a while. By my twenties I knew He was here, but I wasn't about to be another "true believer". I needed proof. So I told Him, "I'm not goin...
