I have been a member of GYE for about 5.5 years. For the first two years, I was not able to get or stay sober. ( I even got once about 4.5 months but went back and couldn't stop). After hitting a new low, I spoke with Dov, and I decided to join SA and, through working th...

First, I want to thank you for this wonderful site. I have no words for you how this site saved my life. B'chasdei hashem, I am sober since I started the 90 days, which is almost a year and a half ago. This is a great miracle, and I am very grateful to Hashem for this si...

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...

A wife wrote a letter to GYE: Your site was exactly what I needed when I signed up. I was a newlywed who had just found out about my husband's struggle and didn't know where to turn. Shocked, hurt, overwhelmed and frightened, I came across your site and found the sectio...

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...

After being sober for almost a year and just falling recently again, I want to share what I think the main point in our struggle is. I have no doubt that one of the main reasons I fell is because I got comfortable in this struggle. Not only did I get comfortable, I WAN...

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...

As my wedding day approaches, I feel it as an obligation to tell you a bit of my story, and how GYE came to the rescue and brought me to where I am now. I was born and raised in a very frum community in Brooklyn, where I lived in a very abusive home. My parents have been ...

I am known as a very good bachur and I learned in all the top yeshivas. I have struggled with these issues for years and years, which ruined my geshmak in learning and davening. I have tried many times to stop and was never able to do it. Eventually, I gave up and assumed...

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...
