A friend of mine once told me to call Dov, because I have time, I want to, and whether I should or shouldn't need it is irrelevant at the moment!! KOMT!! P.S. I know exactly how you feel (and you know that already)!!

Life is fine, wife is fine, kids are fine. I feel detached and empty. I want to feel good. I want to act out without any fallout. I'm not planning on it, but I sure would like to.

So...there is nothing here but a guy who is dealing with all the junk and garbage people like us have to deal with. Thanks for listening.

Skep - You are right, of course. I was feeling too ticked to talk to anyone. A dangerous place to be. Thanks for understanding.

Pidaini - Thanks for calling. The friend who told you all that nice stuff is fortunate to have a similar friend.

TZ - Thanks for loving my misery.

Love you too.

I feel a little better today. Realized that I need to re-embrace my responsibilities as a husband, father, friend, breadwinner and servant of Hashem (not necessarily in that order). When I take those things seriously, there's usually not much time left in the day to get in trouble. And, those things usually are sweeter than lusting. Have to remember that.

Anyone planning on joining the new Innate Health conference call?

Sometimes the whole not lusting thing makes me wanna go and just grrrrrrrrr... you know what I mean? Like the not lusting part.
like I want to act out but like I know I can't so I don't let myself slip and fantasize because if I did then I would for sure act out.
You know, like staying clean and stuff. Its all fun and games until its not.
Then its like: "Dorgnabbit! I wish I could just blankity blank blank! Mmmm...tomatoes!"
Sigh. Oh well.
Hmm. Hashem? Can I ask You to do me a favor? Can You shine the light on the valuable and real things that are my life today, and make the tomatoes a little more out of focus? Just a little? I'd really appreciate it. Thank You in advance.
