If this happens often, think of something you can do when it happens next.

Maybe wake up, get yourself to the bathroom, wash negel-vasser, pick up a light sefer or some light reading for five or ten minutes, or listen to some headphones a bit, then try to get yourself back to sleep, or go off to an early shacharis--anyways you can't get back to sleep, so you might as well get up.

Don't stay in bed if you're just going to act out there.

Just a couple of ideas.

StrugglingGuy	Thanks eye. I do have a radio next to my bed for that purpose, but again fail to use it when my mood gets too strongly affected. Well I could go back to sleep, what do you mean? Ur right, I need to have a plan though.

Heloooo? Have you been hanging around with Palestinians recently, or something? They want us to just 'go away', too.

Guess what? The schmoots books are here! They are here!

It's you who need to move or change, or something, not them. That's what He is here for, not for kooky book-levitation miracles. That's not the way He seems to operate.

Leave the whining for the Turks and the Palestinians, amigo.

Hatzlocha.

StrugglingGuy	wait- i thought u said we should admit powerlessness. so i am not going to pretend anymore that i am strong enuf to beat this. if i find myself in a room with these books i am not strong enuf to reisit. bottom line. only way i can change is to depend on and ask God to remove the stimbling blocks from in front of me. Doesnt Hashem have to obey the torah also?
