My anniversary present to Wife was the Garden of Peace (A Marital Guide for Men only) with my promise to read it and become a better husband. I also printed out a greeting card on MS Publisher instead of giving my money to Hallmark. It saved me five bucks and showed a personal touch. Don't know what I'm getting yet, we'll keep you posted.
We went for a little romantic walk to the neighbourhood supermarket, and chatted about my progress in recovery (it's also 50 days today) and other things in life.
I am in higher spirits now than when I woke up, so that's good.

Mottel, that sounds beautiful! seems to me that you are headed in the right direction. keep at it. much continued hatzlocha!

regarding opening up to your friend, seeing how your wife is on board and that you have the determination to keep moving onward and upward i'm confident that you will speak to people at the right time.

Thanks for asking: my wife bakes challas, so whichever shape they come out will be fine with me. Honey, yes sir, all the way till Hoishana Rabbo, and then it's mashke season!
Ani l'doidi is a gevaldige maamor, both from the Alter Rebbe's Likuttei Toiro and the Rebbe's.
So the Rebbe says in the Ani l'Doidi of 5734, that the entire year is given to us on credit, and then in Choidesh Elul the loan matures and it's time to pay up. We pay up with tshuvo and cheshbon hanefesh but what if you come up short? Says the Rebbe, that with the proper slichois saying der Eibershter settles the loan for pennies on the dollar!
So we don't stay in debt for the new year, our credit history is great, and we qualify for a new loan!
Ksivo v'chasimo toivo, everybody! Apply for 100 MIL loan next year, I'm sure it'll get approved as long as you don't have any outstanding debts!

Have a great day - unless, of course, you made other plans.

I just had the best Rosh Hashono present from one of the guys on GYE.
I got in contact with him and fessed up that I have my collection of all-time-favorite shmutz on an external hard drive. Now, I haven't as much as peeked ever since I'm on the programm, but it was sitting there and it was burning a hole in my head.
So this morning we got on the phone (my first time talking to anyone from GYE live, and I didn't die!) and he stayed on the phone with me untill I deleted the file folder.
DELETED!!!!!!!! It was really precious and I know I would've gone for a "last look" if I were to go about deleting it myself.
I feel bad now, of course, because this means REALLY no turning back, and they were just such good friends....
I will be a better Jew next year! I don't care what Dov says, I wanna be a better Jew as much as I want to be a recovering sex addict. With der Eibershter's Boruch Hu help, of course.
Love you all and especially thankful to the good fella who pushed me to do the right thing before Rosh Hashono!

OM, Make sure you empty the recycling bin too!  If you didn't do that, you can call me.  I've lived to call a few people on GYE and you've lived through your first.  There's a good chance that we'll both live through it .

Mottel you are so strong! A true Giboir!

Don't feel bad, they weren't really your friends anyway.....

You ARE a better Jew and you will continue to be better and better!

I spoke to two people now, one more special than the other! Of course, I myself sound like a dork, but when you get to know me I'm quite personable...
Do you think an external harddrive has recycling bin? I don't think so, but now I'm afraid to go looking....

I'm not sure either.  i would just empty your computer's recycling bin just in case.  Just right click and empty it.  DON'T OPEN the recycling bin.  Have a ksiva vchasima tova and a good yom tov! I look forward to "see"ing all my GYE friends after yom tov.

Been so busy with the yomim toivim, no time for a good long post.
I'm reading the Garden of Peace (didn't realize it was Breslov till I started. Oh, well  ).
I need to find a balance between not loosing what's left of my self-esteem and reigning in on my ga'ava and egotism. So far, I'm just feeling down, which is definitely not the way to go.
G'mar chasimo toivo, friends!
