An SMS of Recovery

I landed back in Newark clean b'h. There was one point towards the end of the flight where everyone around me was watching movies with explicit content and I felt the temptation. I took off my glasses asked Hashem to get rid of the urge and b'h it went away.

The New Video Site

The new GYE videos section has been a big chizuk me. The clarity that internet scenes are not compatible at all with real life is a really big concept. I especially liked the videos that describe how addiction is formed, through electronic pathways directed at brain. The...

  StrugglingStefan writes:   I just read the article "Uunderstanding pornography" and agree with its conclusions. I have noticed in my own struggle that the longer I refrain from viewing porn, the easier it is for me to refrain images or stop them when they come into my head so that I don't act out. GYE has been very helpful in this with the daily chizuk and support. I feel I am on my way out of the porn trap. I am hopeful that the "maps in my brain" created by porn can be re-routed towards healthy sex and human interaction. It feels as though this is already happening the longer I fight and win against the yetzer hara.

 Feedback on the FIREPROOF MOVIE (2008)   (Note: If you're married and want to watch it, send a request for the password to gye.help@gmail.com)  A member shared:  Hi, Thanks for the movie. I was moved to tears many times throughout the movie. It was very scary watching because this is my story. I have been sober for a year plus, but I always need a reminder of the pain I caused to my wife. This movie made it so real, when I watched it I saw my wife crying a year ago when I disclosed. When I saw him talking to his father that he is trying everything, I saw myself a year ago talking to my sponsor that I tried everything and that my wife is just so stubborn.Another point I found powerful is the fact that I can love my wife and do service for her just because I love her and not for recognition or for sex, this really hit home. How many times do I think I will clean up the house so that she will say thank you or let her take a nap so that she will be up later for sex.By the way, I finished watching this movie at around 12:30 am and before I went to sleep I mopped and cleaned the house, and then I prayed to GOD, "Please, let me do this for my wife just because I love her and not for any other reason."Thanks for letting me share.

Overcoming Challenges

I was at a chasuna recently, and the mechitza was no good; so much so, that when I was walking into the hall, I couldn't figure out where the men's section was... But then, every time I had to leave, I left with my eyes studying the floor. I couldn't have felt better ab...

I am not "on board" anymore because, BH, I don't have Internet access anymore. But the sobriety I picked up while on board stayed with me. I am working the program and enjoying recovery one day at a time. I appreciate GYE. It saved me from hitting lower bottoms... Seeing ads about GYE over the years brought me to its doors when I truly needed it, and would've been completely lost otherwise. Is there anything I can do to give back to GYE and its community, something that doesn't require Internet access? Thanks! Yiddishemomy
