On this board, everyone is encouraged to share their journey through the 18 tools of the GYE handbook and get Chizuk and answers from everyone else here as well!

The GYE handbook provides a systematic framework for breaking free of this addiction. But just reading it alone won’t do very much if we don’t “work” the tools therein. So after reading through the GYE handbook once, we go back and start again from the beginning, this time taking it slowly and giving each tool a lot of careful thought. Have we tried the first few tools yet? What parts have we still not tried? Do we have questions, comments, doubts about any of the tools? Slowly but surely, tool by tool, day by day, the GYE handbook - together with the group support of this board - will provide you with the best framework possible for systematic growth and progress.

In general, those who struggle a lot with these issues, have a great deal of emotional and spiritual
energy inside them. It is they who actually have the capacity and potential for the most intense spiritual connection with Hashem. We just need to learn how to channel the energy of our souls in
the proper ways.
It is also known, that people with particular character traits, such as creativity, love for people and
spiritual sensitivity, are more prone to seeking alternate expression for their inner strengths
through a stronger than usual sexual drive. That is why it is so important to learn how to channel
these strengths we have in the proper ways. Heightened sexual desire is actually a symptom of a
deep subconscious need that - for some reason - has still not reached fulfillment.


Guard (or any of the holy warriors on the form) תורה היא וללמוד אני צריך  I ask  in spirit of a humble student who is trying to understand better, " what is the source for this?
its encouraging and maybe even a wee bit flattering to know that there is all this greatness inside me and  i would like to know more about it.
Your humble student

N.B.,

A few paragraphs later Guard quotes from Rav Tzadok #44 who addresses the issue head on.

Yes its there clearly, I just didn't "see" it until you and guard pointed out!
To be continued.

I would like to quote it in hebrew and get everyone thoughts on what specifically  what the Heilega Reb Tzadok means.
