I doubt she uses this forum, and you don't need to apologize to the y"h personified.

I was feeling even better when i passed a few girls and i noticed something quite interesting.The "aura" that i sense by girls usually,that bright gleam,was not there!and these were decent looking girls,but i was not interested in the slightest.i guess its cause i was in such a positive mood maybe.

Mazal Tov Uri!!

You have just felt the essence of recovery. (And thank you for crystalizing it- it really helped me). Recovery means, for me, living in a way that I don't need the lust. This way of life is what I fight to maintain every day. I cannot and do not want to fight the lust itself. Feeling the recovery is really sweet, no? That is worth fighting for!

In response to today's e-mail (#578) someone wrote me an e-mail as follows:

Editor,

Please keep my name and email address private because I don't have an aliases. I don't use your website due to workplace policies and don't have the Internet at home.

Please post anonymously from me the following to Uri's saga and to the advice from "Mom - 7 Up".

Rav Dessler writes in his Michtav Eliyahu the following. When people create goals for themselves, it is of utmost importance that they create two opposite goals. One goal is for aiming to reach further top. The other goal is for a RED LINE, not to reach below it. In other words one needs a "range"; not to fall below a certain rung and to try reaching a certain height. This will ensure, Rav Dessler explains, that just because a person didn't reach the height he set out for, it is a lot less likely that he will give up. Why? Because he DID accomplish another goal of his, namely by not falling beyond the lower goal of a red line!

uri, read your story on the email...congrats...

here is something that helped me avoid actual sexual encounters when i was your age (it didnt always help and it is pretty stupid when you get down to it, but it helped me most of the time):

gd gave eyesight to everyone (almost) he gave hearing and walking and talking to everyone (almost) so its hard to see those things as special gifts from gd (even though they are)...but he gave you two things which he did not give 90% of the world (1) charm and (2) good looks...if you want to use the gifts of sight, hearing, touching, etc to betray him, well, thats wrong, bro, but if you use these two special gifts that he gave you and almost no one else, youre just an [deleted explitive]...how many fugly people are there out there?? so so many! you could have easily been one too...instead, gd gave you good looks and charm, which he gave almost no one...its one thing to not use these gifts in a positive way but to pick up these two talents and specifically use these two talents to slap gd in the face is [deleted explitive]....

dont be a jerk....gd forbid you can get fat, gd forbid an accident or disfigurement and gd can take these items from you very easily...if you want to keep them and if you simply dont want to be a [deleted explitive] then dont use these two to rebel against your creator...

make any sense?

He assumes that if a really good looking girl is trying to start up with you on the bus just like that, you must be good looking and not fat. I figured the same thing. And stop pking fun of him about the "flaky" thing. I'm sure he loves flakes like us by now (till he gets hit by the train coming down that tunnel where he saw the light this morning ;D)
