I figure this foumn will be the better place to post

I hope you will be able to help me with a daily or twice daily (or more) boosts or upgrades to my fight. I find that having an online discussion dealing with my problem helps me cope with my addiction.

I'm on day 3 from joining the website. I started counting from then.

Thank you all.

welcome aboard! You made a great move! The guys here are great! Someone is always around to give you a boost. I just joined less than a month ago, and I would not have been able to stay clean if not for the support that i got here. Post as much as you can, and as I was told the more you express the difficulty you have the more specific help evryone else can give you. Its a bit uncomfortable in the beginning but as you read the other posts you see that there is nothing to be embarassed about, we've all "been there done that" and we are working toward the same goal. Hatzlacha Rabba!

Thanks, ill try to post as much as possible.

We are waiting to give you your 'boost'. Just tell us what 'flavor' you prefer. 

Dear I,
please listen to the advice of my peers and tell us what's going on
YOU ARE NO LONGER ALONE

great to have you here
stick around
the place is also known as the University of Living

yosef, "Just tell us what 'flavor' you prefer."

I am more connected to logic and reasoning that my emotions. besides that im a kollel man and a tech geek.

.... but if you don't yet feel comfortable with sharing any details. Don't worry about it.

There is a lot of help available even without that.


Just stick around & read. read. read.


Look for someone who seems to be in your 'style' & keep following him around.





May Hashem help you & lead you in the right path!

is this the style you are referring to ?

I do not mind sharing information, im all for it

We'll start with the credit card info and your SS#.  Just Kidding!! 

Welcome Home yougothelp!!

Choose your style and let it flow, no need to worry if your style doesn't let you fit in.  Everyone here adjusts to make more room for the next guy.  Good to see you!

ooops! We messed up. We thought that you just arrived.....  :-[ :-[

I guess i should just be quite & let the more technically advanced guys speak up.  ;D

when i have discussions here with friends, I dont have inner discussions with my yetzer hara. my arrival time is still in the early beta stages

after reading your other thread, I see that we have a lot in common. For me also, stress is a major cause for M, that quick fix. I would tell you to see my thread on stress management, but 90% is hijacked. (No hard feelings, guys)
I found that stress is the YH's way of getting us to feel overwhelmed and distanced from HKBH. I've been focusing on retaining the kirvas Elokim in whatever way I can. Learning, tehillim etc... But the bottom line is that I couldnt do it without posting here each step of the way, and getting the support from the chevra. Keep it up! HKBH loves you no matter how many times you fall b'davka because youve fallen. He wants to be close to you. Thats why its so hard. the YH knows how special your connection to Hashem is. Dont let him get in the way. Its yours grab hold of HKBH and dont let go!
the views expressed in this post are mine and not indicative that this is the only way to go. Just what worked for me. Take it or leave it

Thanks for the good word. One of my problems is that my yetzer hara can convince me to masturbate. the reason being that over my lon trek in the dirt I have mastered masturbation without shichvas zera (most of the time). I then dont see the wrong in masturbation as long as if im destressing myself without looking on porn and keeping evil thoughts away.

I dont remember where I saw it, but it is brought down that the issur of לא תנאף includes the action of M without being motzi zera. I will try to find the source.
