Need advice; Days are going great both in terms of internet and streets. But the problems come up at night after the lights are out and my wife is asleep. It's like I push a button down in one area (of improvement) and a new problem crops up in another. Any eitzah's??

Read Feeling Good and Intimate Connections by David Burns to begin understanding how to change your beliefs. You will then be able to start believing that you are not powerless and find the answer yourself.

Alan,
Welcome to the forum. Getting sober and recovering from this addiction is a full time commitment. Can you say that your eyes are guarded and your thoughts are clean all day, and things start happening after the lights go out? Or is there more that you can be doing during the day so the nights aren't so lust-filled?

Hi Alan,

I also have done a lot of that. Lately I've been doing better with the double fence taphsic method. (Taphsic alon wasn't enough) You can read more about taphsic here.

Much success on your journey, and may all of klal yisrael be zocheh to do teshuva

Hello Allan, and welcome.

I understand both that nights are different and harder than days, and definitely understand how new areas keep coming. Oy!

As you start working with the handbook and sharing with the guys here, you will find your way. If this is in the way of your loving relationship with Hashem, you can count on it that He's in your corner. I'd suggest having a chat with Him about your situation and what you need to do.

Hatzlocho, and keep us posted.

Welcome Alan! If your problems at night are mainly with the computer, perhaps you could install a "bedtime"-limit? If youre on a mac its fairly simple, you then just have to give away the admin password.

This is obviously not a solution, just a helpful tool. Gives my day a bit more structure as well
