OK... For all us GYE insulated people, who do not wish to watch crowds of overly veiled Muslims in the streets of Paris, and counter-crowds of , ahem, underly veiled non-Muslums in the streets of Paris, basically, that news clip says that the Muslims routinely block off streets to have mass prayer gatherings (without permission, but ignored by the police), and that the French are beginning to have mass demonstrations in France to protest the Muslims taking over their country...

NYC is such a boring place. > > >

In this day and age, boring is a Bracha!

I have been having the same problem for a while and even though I have much to learn but I have been here a while.

went off track then back then off track then back.

sometimes i think im like a woman wehn im trying to stay sober, w/ all these rollercoaster emotions up and down mood swings and stuff.

back on track for a couple weeks now and it's a good state of mind this time

ayeka

messed up is where i am

but still fighting

Being back here is a good first step.

Want to explain what's going on?

lots of abuse and terrible atmosphere at home...just broke up w/ s/1 i was getting serious about...just feeling very out of it.

i dunno. whatever i just can't drum up the old enthusiasm for this all.

but feel like i need to. got to stay clean. got to fight this. i'm not dead yet, know what im saying?

maybe i just need a nap

whatever.

DT: I don't know how much you know from movies, or even from secular hero books, but let me share. There's usually a moment in the dramatic plot where there's a hero who didn't sign up for the job. Got thrust into a challenge too big to bear. Yet upon him sits the fate of the whole universe, or fate of his parents, or saving the gov't of freedom, or something else that's equally Big. (And often he doesn't know how big it is at the time.)

And he starts out okay in fighting it.

And then the challenges build and grow and whatever. (We would phrase it, "the YH is putting out roadblocks to increase our s'char.) And at one point the "hero" -- who doesn't yet know he's about to become the world-famous hero who saved the planet -- falls apart. Usually while sitting on the edge of a cliff and about to fall down. (Or in our lingo, maybe standing before Aishes Potiphar with his robe in her hands. Whatever.)

And suddenly he hears a still small voice. The one that says, "get up; do this; the sword you need at this moment to kill the approaching bad guy is... right... over... THERE!" And things end up happily ever after, with the hero having learned that he had inside him something bigger than most folks could imagine.

So, listen up. Not to the abuse. (Feel free to share that story here; sometimes getting it off your chest can get it off your chest for some folks.) Not to the fatalistic attitude. Not to some sheyd masquerading as a woman who likes you.

Listen for that voice that's trying to get your attention -- GET OUT THERE AND WIN -- YOU CAN DO IT -- I'M COUNTING ON YOU TO SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD (M' Sanhedrin).

The hero always thinks it's dark just before the dramatic enlightenment shows up.

At least that's how they see things in the movies. See if you can envision the same.  B'hatzlacha.

i hear you.

but dov always says, don't be a hero. don't c urself as a hero. turn to g-d

only if u guys knew how much i daven everday for yeshu'ah, it never seems to come...

Sometimes we need to try different strategies each day, because what worked yesterday may not work today.  Maybe, just for today, you should consider being a hero!
