Yosef2212 OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3	I feel so bad. I fall every week and can't get out of it. I just want to be free. Hashem help me. I am a bochur in yeshiva and feel like I am living a double life. I am making progress though. Each time is less and less. Again, I just want to be free.

Yosef2212 OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3	I've been struggling since like 7th grade. Back then I didn't know what it was I was doing or how wrong it was. Now I'm trying to get a hand on things. I've been really trying hard but...you know..It's like I don't want to do it...It's mainly shtus on Netflix or youtube. I've got rid of social media...b'h. It's mainly shmerias eynayim but sometimes unfortunately michas zera.

In order to stop you must be clear what you want to stop. Write a list and see that the pros outweigh the cons. Make it a clear ironclad decision. Stay around read and post, post, post! Hatzlacha!

Welcome to the light at the end of the tunnel!

As much as one would like for all of his problems to go away in an instant, the
reality is that life doesn’t work that way. No one ever conquered a nisayon overnight; it’s a process of falling and rising multiple times. Therefore, instead of being caught off-guard when a relapse occurs, a person should know to expect it, and when it happens, he should take it in stride and simply tell himself, “I’m happy this didn’t come until now, but I knew it would happen again.”

When the yetzer hora rears its ugly head yet another time, the most important
thing to bear in mind is that the nisayon should be used as a learning experience.

please keep posting and Hashem should help you stay strong.

"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?"

Wishing you much hatzlocha!

Think about how good you'll feel if you say no to desire and compare that to how bad you'll feel if you say yes.

Desire is unique in the way that it is never fulfilled - if you give in the desire comes back even more powerful in just a few days. Telling yourself that its ok because this is really the last time doesn't work because you are just adding new images to your head that will cause future falls.

The Joy of triumph over the yetzer hara is worth the effort it takes to win. It IS worth it! Keep fighting!

Welcome! I know the feeling that this is impossible and you are stuck (and so does everyone on this site). But success is possible, as hard as it is to believe. (Please check out some of the success stories in the forums- you can find a link to them in Markz's signature.)

Also, please check out these great free resources. They provide great chizuk:

Great book (ebook) for breaking free: The Battle of the Generation guardyoureyes.com/ebooks/item/the-battle-of-the-generation.

Rabbi Shafier's incredible lectures on breaking free: The Fight. Download here: theshmuz.com/series/the-fight/

Never forget that there is hope! Wishing you much Hatzlocha!
