ALSO POSTED ON BALEI BATTIM FORUM



Hi,

​wanted to check in for accountability.....

For those of you that know me, I am married with three kids, struggling with P and M for years since teenager, had good streaks before this year. Unfortunately fell this year on Seven "Fall Days" where succumbed to P and m (once or twice on the fall day), the most recent being twice in late march and once last night.

​I wanted to post for accountability. Don't know underlying reasons, wife thank gd great and its not related to her persay, as in this aspect as well, and thank gd she's wonderful and beautiful in all aspects.

​I do happen to do everything around the house and for the kids, and during sefirah can't play my guitar which helps alot as an outlet....

​thank gd better then I used to be back in the day when it was daily with videos, not its much less frequent and usually pictures but still....

once shared that had bad dream recently she told me if it want me ill divorce u, once shred a pic  saw, she wouldn't come near me for two weeks, once explained chimeras eniyanim issues, she packed a bag to leave and I feigned chest trouble (im ashamed to admit) and she stayed, she thinks problem was until college but really has stayed with me until now, unfrotunalyet no support from her she has zero tolerance, would never stay even though I try to literally do everything possible in life in house for kids etc. hence GYE and email contact best.
​
wanted to share and feel free to reach out 

Thanks and thanks for listening/reading

I am no posek but even if it should not be done, it is probably preferable to play the guitar on the omer than watch filth. So if you really need it so badly I am sure you can find a heter.

Again not a posek but not sure its a problem as long as u don't dance with it and preferably play more slower songs that wouldn't lead to dancing 
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!

If you put the guitar slightly off tune, that should definitely do the trick. Ask Gevura to help you. 
He’s always the first to ‘pitch’ in
