;Dear GYE, I am 32 years old, and this struggle has brought me ;to places in the last few years that I do not want to mention. I WAS FIGHTING EVERYDAY, ASKING MYSELF “AM I ;NORMAL OR NOT?” But B"H, thanks to GuardYourEyes, I am almost 5 months clean today. ;A few weeks into my 90 days my urge w...

; Dear GYE, In 2011, I discovered that I had a problem and I turned to you guys, who eventually sent me to a 12-step group. I stayed clean for 3.5 years with relatively good recovery. My wife, however, hated the groups so much that we almost divorced over them. She could not fathom being married...

I would like to express how much "hakaras hatov" I have towards you guys for the day-to-day help with these serious problems I'm dealing with. You are helping me in such a real way - and the entire Jewish community, as well! ; 3 great things about the site: ; 1. Specialization - it addresses t...

; Chevra, ; I just had an epic realization as I was preparing myself for this last Shabbos of the year. ; As I stood in front of HKB"H last year on the Yom Ha'Din, I have no recollection of actually asking for the gift of sobriety this year. In fact, on the contrary - I kind of remember feelin...

Yesterday, Hashem graced me with 1 year of sobriety, and I owe GYE a HUGE "thank you" for their part in it. When I found GYE, I had stopped my bottom line behaviors thru the help of "The Garden" series books and working on personal prayer, but I couldn't stop pornography and masturbation. After ...

Dear GYE,The 9th of Av was my one year anniversary of not spilling z"l. And that is the same day I came to GYE. So I am happy about that milestone, because I lived it every single day, one day at a time. And because I don't remember such a long span of time being clean in my life.It is true that ...

When I look at myself in the mirror (yes, that's something I can do these days), I no longer feel repulsed by what I see, I no longer see a guy with potential that's just wasting his life, or doing so much damage to his friends and family that he can't bear to feel. I now see a guy that tries hi...

I just want you to know that I just got back from a sexual sobriety shabbaton with ~300 people, at least 100 wives and >200 sexaholics, all going to SA and S-Anon meetings and getting well, be"H. It was incredible. The speakers, the ruach, the simcha, the meetings, the honesty, and the sobrie...

I am both happy and humbled to announce that today, I am 6 years sober B"H. I am so fortunate and grateful to have support from so many sources, from my wife, my rav, my friends here at GYE, and from the RBS"O who gives me all these belssings. Thank you all who have helped me, whether you welcome...

Even though this was the 'rockiest year' in 7 years, I still hope to be at 8 years sober in SA this summer be"H. I downloaded the Internet filter. As a result, I go through a tircha when I need web access, even to download a shiur. I have to find the time to ask others to give me access on their...
