I feel like what started as a simple question sent privately has spiralled into a very involved discussion and it's taken me away from focussing on my own recovery, which when all is said and done is the most important thing for me.

B''H things are going well. I took a cue from Pidaini last week. He posted that he told OINK he was opening up to people, and Duvid chaim said 'only people?' So it got me thinking that I wasn't opening up to Hashem much, so I did. Every morning since I have asked Him for a sober day and every day since He has given me one. I think if you ask nicely, you're more likely to get. Thanks for teaching me Mum!

Forgot we changed the clock on sunday . That's part of living in a strange country I guess...(Don't tell Moish I said that).

Can I ask you guys something: am I the only one who starts to think along the lines of my wife is not good enough, not pretty enough, why couldn't I marry this one or that one or whatever? Is that normal or something to worry about? I had a dream about me and one of my wife's friends two nights ago. That's almost never happened before. I mean, I wasn't fantasising, it was a dream, I was fully asleep. Yet it bothers me. And possibly worse, possibly better, I know that I don't want to marry that girl, I just want to have sex with her once or twice and that's it. At what point did I start thinking like a disgusting goy?

I was walking around this afternoon with these thoughts and I walked past a group of very pretty young girls and the beast stirred. Thing is, they are 16, 17, totally out of the question even if I wasn't married. It got me thinking, does a 40 or 50 year old get this way about girls my wife's age. Does it ever end? If left unchecked is it every man's desire to be with much younger girls? Doesn't that make life hard?
