Kabalos for the New Year

An idea by "Bardichev" It's before Rosh Hashana. Can we completely change our ways? That is doubtful. But we CAN start with small steps. As Bardichev wrote on this thread called "Kabalos for the New Year": LET'S MAKE A SMALL KABBALLA, BUT A HONEST K...

Using Vows

A Bochur, who had been clean for many months, wrote: I had a fall recently, and afterwards I gave some thought to my general direction. I realized that although I feel that I've pretty much broken the HABIT, I need a stronger commitment to keep myself stro...

Talking to My Zadie

My journey to recovery is a beautiful journey. I have realized that we need to find the good in everything. Even in a situation where I have the urge to fall or slip, I stop myself and say: "I know what's happening here, and I'm not gonna fall for it.Hashem loves me and t...

More About the Mikva

Going to a Mikva every day is a very strong protection against sexual sin and desire. If this is too difficult for you, make sure to go at least when you fall. Imagine this. If the waters of the Mikva can make a non-Jew (who wants to convert) into a Jew, imagine what they...

We thought we had Yiras Shamayim, but for some reason when we get a lust attack the Yiras Shamayim doesn't seem to work very well. But don't feel bad. It doesn't mean you don't have any Yiras Shamayim. When Rav Yochanan Ben Zakai blessed his students before he died he sai...

Vanquishing Bad Thoughts is the Key to Teshuvah

How can a person fix all the mistakes he made in the past? How can one undo the damage of shmiras eiynayim and shmiras habris? One of the types of tshuva mentioned in the rishonim is called "tshuvas hamishkal", the "tshuva of weighing." This type of tshuva involves causin...

Baking Matzos

The Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim Siman 460:2 rules that it is proper for every Jew to take an active part in the baking of the Matzos for use on Pesach. Amongst the reasons for this, the Mishna Berura(in S"K 7) quotes the words of the holy Arizal that "Getting 'into it' ...

Tips & Chizuk from Rebbe Nachman's Sefer Hamidos

Sexual lust can only be kept at bay by avoiding provocative sights and thoughts. Do not enter into negotiations with your desires, for the elaboration of your thoughts, even directed at annulling the desires, will have the effect of reinforcing the desires, and they ca...

Boosting Our Emunah

Although strengthening our Emunah will often not be enough to break a strong lust-attack or an addiction on its own (see the story of Rav Amram Chassid, Rabbi Akiva and Rabbi Meir in Kedushin 80-81), however, a strong Emunah can help push us to take the necessary steps in...
