Well, I am at day 36 and, thank G-d, still clean. This experience has been tremendous. For the first time in my life, I have had whom to reach out to for help: people who really understood me, having been through it themselves. Unlike speaking with a therapist, where ther...

So last night had me congested and tossing and turning because of it. Keeping my mouth open wasn't helping, nor the nervous mind-mantra "fall asleep fall asleep fall asleep it's getting late." At that point, I was sure that only masturbating would help me fall asleep and ...

Thanks so much. I'm doing great. I'm just a bachur in yeshiva. I've come a long way and, bh, no longer have any serious issues with shmiras einaim and the internet. After going through my journey, other bochurim began opening up to me about their issues with histaklus b'n...

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.  

A Freilichen Chanuka! How was the first Chanuka Light by you?By me, it was amazing, B''H, there was this clean feeling - sitting by the candles, connecting to myself and to Hashem, trying to keep my little boy occupied at the same time, wonderful family time and wonderful...

I installed a filter on my work computer. Today is day 5 of being clean. I realize the only way to control it is fight it all. If I give in a little, my y"h will overpower me before I know it. Please daven for me that I stay strong. The fact that I even went on this si...

I was matzliach on the 90 day journey and this is what I realized: 1) I must stay busy 2) I have to wholeheartedly want to complete the 90 day journey 3) I must learn every day I stick with the daf yomi in particular. It brings help from the shchinah, which is the k...

Thank you for your website. I have definitely learned some things. It was especially helpful to me and my wife to speak honestly about the issue. We had spoken before, but this website gave us much more clarity. I felt I could be more open with her since I felt she h...
