I just saw the video from FightTheNewDrug and it really scared me. I don't even know if I wanted to see that video... I guess it's better to be aware, but at the same time... I am far far from being exposed to that sort of thing, I have a strong filter and I am too sc...

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...

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 ...

"Recently, I went overseas, and I watched a few movies on the plane. I didn't think there could be anything wrong with it as I am a female. However, when I came back, I could not stop thinking of the movies and the message they gave. I can't even say it was the bad th...

Guys - here's why I appreciate the forum and YOU!When I started on the holy GYE forum more than half a year ago, I asked the following question: "I've been wondering if people with mild Aspergers are more vulnerable to the lure of pornography"I quoted from "Asperger Syndr...

From 9:30 last night until 2 o'clock in the morning, my wife and I were building a new large closet. For the first hour and a half our children were helping. But then, obviously, it was bedtime... I am very tense about various things in my life: making money; how I fit i...

Something happened a few minutes ago that I thought was amazing: I was about to fall. It was after a long day of temptation, at about 11:15PM, and as I was about to start acting out, I heard someone try the handle of my front door! I immediately ran upstairs to tell my ...

I have been an addict forever. It started when I was 14 and now I'm 44, so it's been 30 years. About 10 years ago, I joined Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) and worked with different sponsors unsuccessfully. I just couldn't maintain sobriety. The SA definition of sobriety i...

There are many different strategies that one can employ in order to reach a target. I can only share what worked for me. I found the Step 1 share incredibly liberating and it allowed me to get rid of fantasies that were swirling around my head. This allowed me to final...

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...

Thank you for your mail. It helps me to find the strength to face this situation, without being overwhelmed. I knew that being mad and so upset was neither appropriate nor helpful reaction to his fall, but I could not find my way out of my painful feelings. When I read yo...

Thank you, thank you, thank you GYE!!! Before I started the 90 days this time (I did it once before but fell soon after...), I was so afraid. I have been falling every other day and I was terrified of failing but even more terrified of letting go of my self-pleasure. ...
