Mazel Tov!!

Keep it up!!

(And sorry for giving you a hard time at the beginning )

WOW!!!!!!!!!! INCREDIBLE! GREAT WORK!

But remember one day at a time. This is only a stepping stone!

Lavi,

you mentioned 'anger' as one of your triggers.
Similar, to some of the above posters, you should be proud of your accomplishments here, and I believe specifically in this area as well.

While I do not fully comprehend why Hashem's soldier inserted this into his daily tefillah, he did, and he probably had a good reason for it:

You are the one who created us humans,you created us with a yetzer harah which give us a natural burning desire for women, a desire that can be used for holiness or g-d forbid for impurity. You commanded us to be circumcised on the 8th day of our life. Something that starts on the 8th day but must be maintained for the rest of our life. Therefore, may it be your will hashem our g-d and the god of our fathers, that you will constantly at every moment help us control our eyes from anything that will trigger our desires. And help us constantly control our thoughts and our fantasies from any image or idea or anything that will cause us to fall and damage the middah of yesod, including helping us in our middos and especially anger. And that we will always be in a state of happiness of kedusha. Help us for the sake of yosef hatzaddik who controlled himself and for the sake of david hamelech who fell in this area but did a complete teshuvah.

It can be found in lashon hakodesh as well.

continued hatzlachah

thank-you for the nice tefilla.
i would like to know it's source, also the part that says that dovid fell surprises me, because chazal say, that he didn't sin, see shabbos 56a for the exact wording. and if there was a "fall" one should be careful about describing it in the proper fashion.

thank-you chevra, for all your feedback

I am not sorry. It was part of the process of getting a great addition to the forums. We all grow from the hard times that we are given when we start.

Mazel Tov Lavi!
kol hakavod, keep up your great work
i enjoy your posts and learn from them, thank you!

hello friends.

my wife went away for a couple of days. (yes, she totally deserves a break)
and i'm gonna have to substitute something for company. i like learning, but not as much as i should, and anyway extra time with the kids really does wonders for me!@#$%.
i don't smoke, drink or gamble.
all posts would be appreciated.

assuming you hold by the Cherem of Rabenu Gershon, i propose you read the entire Depressed person Chill Spot thread, write it in shorthand and translate it into Russian. then get back to us.

thanks for the idea.

Search the old Beis Medrash threads and posts and comment on them.

would you bother reading my comments???????

On this thread of yours alone, I have commented 10 times; 5 of them in direct response to your posts.

Many other threads and comments of yours as well.

As a rule, I do not comment if I either do not understand at all what is bein' written or if I disagree with the mehalech, but have no way of sayin' so nicely (and I know there are exceptions to that as well).

so, in answer to your question: yes, I would.

Just as a conclusion, I'm a bit taken aback by your question, for there has not been a comment on this site in the past six months - from you and from everyone else, that I have not read. Obviously, I might have missed several, but as a rule, every thread and every comment is read.

lavi, your posts are precious, and if anything, they are from the better ones i've seen
