What are the two s-h-i-t-os?

Why warped ? plz explain.

It's wrong because we have no way of knowing Hashem's cheshbonos. This is in fact a symptom of an addict, an addict must feel he's in control at all times, and likes to see prompt results [as a matter of fact, a while back I told a Graphic Designer friend that my approach to graphics and marketing is; minimal effort, maximum results.] he therefore finds it extremely difficult to understand that the concept of "Erech Apayim" is real. Let me tell you something: Hashem's mercy is infinite "Der Basheffer loveth mich eibig!" and now for a Matisyahu quote [whether we agree with its original context or not. [quote]I recently realized that God’s mercy, how can that possibly be connected to me shaving or not?”[/quote] See Here.

Hashem is a loving father, we just need to know how to read his love. Let me tell you something else: Hashem repays sinners with good on this world, so that on the next world they can ROT IN HELL. So maybe the opposite is true, as long as you were sinning, you knew you'll get a "nice wife". But now, maybe in Hashem's love for you, you'll get a "not nice wife" to atone for your sins so that you can ENJOY PARADISE TO THE FULLEST.

Whaddevah, I love you too.

Hm, Tz, I agree with you fully. I think thats lemayse what I've meant. under a "good wife" I understand a wife which is fitting to me. bein ezer bein kenegdo, but fitting. with hashgocha! not wehalachti imachem bekeri, chas veshalom.

now its much clearer to me, shkoach.



ps: which two shitos? for how long i am clean? well, one is mine and one is that of the 90days chart.

You know you've been on GYE for a while when....

I was just on 80 days which is the longest that I had done in 6 years and then I fell (and then over that day a bunch more) and now I just feel exhausted

Nebulamud!! Wow!! You are back!

I missed you, I missed your bizarre and cute username...and I just missed the point of your post. Oh, you feel exhausted after falling. Right...so:

Please tell me -

Is the exhaustion you refer to from your fall, or is the exhaustion from those 80 days of relentless fighting against your obsession/habit?

28 days.

Rabboysay, my grandfather just shared with me a nice poem. Here you go:
(in the original, its much better)

A flower which doesn't have a fragrance, what a shame to use a garden for it.
A person which doesn't have a mind, what a shame to have a conversation with him.
A heart which doesn't have pain, what a shame to use a body for it.
A head which doesn't believe [in haShem], what a shame to use tachrichin for it.
