wow back in romania and doin well!
thats gr8 news
when going forward gets tough, its merely a sign that you are going uphill, just give more gas
put your sobriety first; before your wife, before your kids, before your avodas HaTorah (except for the 3 that are יעבור ואל יהרג) Without sobriety you won't have any of those things!

Pros and cons regardin' filters on a computer for an addict.

[It is obviously a different discussion when you are dealin' with protectin' children, or preventin' accidental exposure.]

The followin' picture can be used as a mashal supportin' those on the 'con' side.

:pinch: Warning: Spoiler!


Is this what one should do, when he is addicted to constantly lookin' at his phone (like me, and like many others on this site have attested to)?

Perhaps.....perhaps not.

Lots of stuff goin' on...all over my life....in all areas.
Stress surroundin' anywhere I turn.
Speakin' of turnin', my eyes can't help themselves...at all.
Powerless
Gotta pray (more than in S"E).
Are these things my fault?
I can't think like that.
Do I need to get closer to God?
I must.
How?
Prayer is the only way I know.
Will I crack?
Mr calm?
What will happen when I let go...if?
Can't afford it.
Focus on now; that I can handle...no I can't, but God could!

b'hatzlachah to all

Gotta roll with the punches or the punches will roll all over you

Take a deep breath and rise your mind above your situation for a few minutes to get some clarity and realign your mental compass.
KOMT!!!!

I don't view # 4000 as anythin' special; yes, I am involved and speak my mind....often...many times foolishly, and I can take this opportunity to apologize to all for my sarcastic, hurtful, degradin', counterproductive comments.
T'was not intended, and I am truly sorry....although I'm probably gonna do it again.

The main point I'd like to say here is I have been known, labeled (somewhat correctly) that I am the "anti-God," and although I have grown in this area, I am far from perfect in a big way.

Now, I have been tryin' to help others and myself as well....that bein' said, at 8:28 last night, I was placed in a precarious position; perhaps, accordin' to what I wrote elsewhere: I placed myself in that position, and precisely at 8:29 Misgbaer (out of da blue.....so to speak (and my entire post just got deleted and I gotta start again)) texted me with a "How's da weather?" and at precisely 8:30, Skep texted me with a "Hi." Now, we, and others, are in constant contact throughout the day, so it is not out of the ordinary, but there were several hours of lull in the conversations, and this was God's way of showin' me that He is holdin' my hand.

Now, although that didn't stop me in my spiralin' path downward, but other things did, and I woke up this mornin' with a modeh ani and a Hodu LaHashem ki tov. Although my life now is in "truck"load of stuff, and I don't know where the next moves are comin' from, or where they will lead me, I do know that He is with me every step of the way (even as this post got deleted....I didn't even swear this time).

If I may suggest, add a short tefillah said in English to God in every Shemoneh Esrei; I have become closer to Him thru this.

T'was longer in its original form, but there's lots of stuff to do today, ultimately we do ours and God takes care of success and failures, but there's a plan for our benefit nonetheless.

Thanks so much to all you guys!
you're da best!
Love ya' all!
Onward to 5,000!

b'hatzlachah

Keep on trucking.
If one truck gets crashed up, there are plenty more available.

and by the way, 4000 is not the special part. It is the person that typed the 4000 (plus who knows how many more deleted ones) that is special

There were no eidim today in the middle of the day; no shluchim.

Sat there for 15/20 minutes, and then left.

Why do I write this?
To share and for honesty.
and perhaps...it wll help others who are in the throes.

b'hatzlachah (for all issues).

Wow!
That feels like ages ago!
Thank God - whoever saved me then.

Today was a tough day; lots of stress in the house.
Past two weeks have not been easy to say the least - and that is all types of family and life stuff.

Past two months - wife stuff issues.

Head still high....I think, B"H.

Have a good Shabbos
