What is GYE to each of us? On the one hand, it's a website. On the other hand, it is a program, which employs multiple tools (the two handbooks, chizuk e-mails, the forum, etc.) to help us go into recovery.

Until I read the Rosh Yeshiva's Haskama, I probably viewed GYE as a website. An extremely helpful and comprehensive website, but a website, nonetheless. However, having read the Haskama (more times than you can imagine - I get chizuk every time I read it!), I now view GYE as a comprehensive program to help us go into recovery and keep us there.

Is it possible that those who are more successful are those who view GYE as a program (and invest time and effort into following the program), not merely as a website?

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

I need help, and I got no patients to read the hlp, I want people. So, sorry but I only use the website option of the program. But I'm maskim that this place is a 'far-encompasing' program (we aren't holding by all-encompasing)

I dont think theres anyone on this forum whos done as much as you!!! We owe you so much!! Thanks!!!

And although i do basically use just the forum part of the site, i d realize the importance of getting everything else it has to offer. But i need time for that. Maybe bain hazemanim when i have acouple of extra seconds on my hands ill get through everything else.

But if, over time, the person keeps falling, maybe it would help to view the forum as part of a larger program that GYE offers. As the Rosh Yeshiva highly recommends, we should avail ourselves of all aspects of the program [if doing less hasn't been enough for us]
