The Mishna in Avos teaches that Torah study with Derech Eretz is "yafa" - beautiful - because the engrossment in both (continuously) makes us forget sin.
Most of us are not on the level of the saintly Rogatchover Gaon who said about himself that his whole life he was so ...
Thank you for everything! You have no idea the revolution this website caused. Just from my end, with God’s help, a Yid held back from going off, and a couple, who were ready to divorce, are working things out. Who knows how many people have been helped and are being hel...
Just sharing my current matzav with my dear Friends. I am in a really bad cycle now, it's been weeks since I have been sober.
But what is different now, since I joined GYE?
Firstly, the awareness I have gotten that all this negative behavior is NOT THE WAY NORMAL PE...
I'm a religious Muslim who, unfortunately, fell into this addiction. I found your website while searching for web filters, and I have to say, it is very beneficial to me, even as a non-Jew. The atheistic, materialistic times we live in are truly saddening; these 'secular...
I am clean for over 180 days, thank G-d. I use the forum, the 90 Day chart, I spend time reading and listening on the topic. I also spend much more time with my kids and family. Keeping myself busy, trying to daven with minyen, going to my shiur are all helping me, but th...
It's been hard recently. My wife and I have been "off" for about six weeks due to a change in medication, and it's been hard. I stumbled with computer stuff once or twice but I picked myself up and started again. I find it's about keeping to my own rules. If I am meikel,...
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...
I cannot tell you how much I enjoy the emails. I was struggling with an issue in regards to a movie I watched, and just reading the articles, of all the people that try so hard to be good Jews, was enough to help me.

I was struggling since age 15. Never made it past 20 days on a good cycle. I found GYE by doing a search in Google.
Originally, I thought that if I joined the 90 day challenge, things would be fine. It wasn't. I was too scared to join a meeting. I searched on your site to...
Please pass on to Dov how appreciative I am of his posts. They are perceptive, speak to me personally, and pose healthy, life-developing challenges. They have inspired me to keep in regular contact with my sponsor and partner; they've led me to much-needed brutal honesty;...
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...
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank Dov for his amazing insight on lust. One thing he keeps writing about, and that really makes all the difference for me, is giving the struggle over to Hashem:
When I'm at the verge of falling, my magic mantra has become: "Has...
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...
Dear GYE,
Please pass on to Dov how appreciative I am of his posts. They are perceptive, speak to me personally, and pose healthy, life-developing challenges. They have inspired me to keep in regular contact with my sponsor and partner; they've led me to much-needed bruta...
Dear Mr. Yaakov,
I have been wanting to email someone at guardyoureyes for awhile. I wanted to sincerely thank you and all your staff for all the resources available on your website. I found out my husband was watching schmutz about 7 months ago. It was the worst yissu...
