How about 'Nahfach' as in V'Nahafach Hu, in time for upcoming Purim,

being that you are changing your life upside down, or actually right side up finally...  Thats real change for the good.,,,

Well, "outgribing" is something between bellowing and whistling, with a kind of sneeze in the middle: however, you'll hear it done, maybe -- down in the wood yonder -- and when you've once heard it you'll be quite content.

Cholent, scotch/whiskey, with a bunch of really funny lust addicts??  sounds awesome!! - how about tonight after couple hours Mishmar?  Not sure we should wait til Kiddush after shul Shabbos morning. . .

This Recovery thing could be alright,  IY"H.

Whehoowee!  Well - that is nice!  Does being a Jr. Member carry extra responsibilities?  or do my annual dues go up?

Actually I just noticed that its exactly 30 days since my first big confessional post about zonahs, and then the whole STD push from you guys (and test, etc) .  Wow - its a bit scary to note that those events which were so powerful seem further away than a mere 30 days.  The scary part is that makes me think maybe this TOP OF MIND recovery focus will fade and/or seem far away too.    That happened to me in the past when i tried to fight the lust addiction with teshuva process.

Well I know its One Day at a Time, and Baruch Hashem, there is such a full range of Recovery hishtadlus to keep it TOP of MIND.  But still - this has been a very precious time in my life, and OHHH how I want/ hope/pray/act that it continues.  A taste , first time in YEARS, of REAL sobriety.  22 days now of the REAL thing!! BH!!!!    My old 'clean' was sometimes masturbating in hotel parking lot of the zonah I called and drove to see after big web search, but glad I didn't actually go up.  oy vey. 

So really want to thank you all - I feel different, I daven different, I'm more humble, I feel and look at my wife differently.  For me the kesher with many of you has really been food for my aching lust addicted neshama.  You done good!  PLEASE keep it up, don't by shy - your frankness has been super helpful too.

So all the best for a wonderful Shabbos Kodesh, and please know that you really helped a struggling fellow Jew

Muah!

Upside Down, inside out, still lot more changing 2 do NOW  (after some wooooferd)

Beautiful !
Some parts of recovery will hopefully become more automatic, like avoiding triggers.
Eventually (still far off I imaginge) your hishtadlus can shift from such obsession with recovery, to more normal, healthy pursuits.  There will always be some recovery work, though.  And we can NEVER allow ourselves to become complacent and think we're cured.

Have a wonderful Shabbos with your family.
