Hey Avi,
Welcome! I'm a newbie here too but got in first replying to your message and welcoming you to this vibrant community of growing Jews who discuss our challenges and learn and support each other.
This forum is very much alive and we look forwards to hearing about you and sharing and helping each other.
I'm assuming you've browsed the rest of the site?
All the best.
Shlomo

Just start posting. Tell us about yourself. Ask questions. Take a look at some of the links in my signature. There's some good stuff there. WELCOME!

hi avi
welcome
i like your name avi, as its unique for you
but the second half is in fact very common and not unique to you at all
so why not rename yourself as avi-freind
its a lot nicer!
anyway avi how are you doing?

Hi Avi,

Start...from the beginning I'm not being facetious in anyway. Just start writing; we're here to listen. The site could definitely seem overwhelming, so remember to relax and take things slow. There's no one way to use GYE. Some people like chatting with other members at the bottom right-hand of the screen; some people like using forums; there are also links to free phone conferences going on all day.

What matters is that you're here, and among friends. Nobody is going to be judgmental or unfairly critical. We're all here to help and be helped!

Welcome

Jump in and get used to the new waters- there are no rules or particular protocol on what necessarily you must do first.

you will find your way.

Hatzlacha

thank you all
yes this site is overwhelming full of options i guess when i have some time i will figure it out

Don't wait until you have time. Make time.

In other words they are saying:

If you are already pissed, Avi, then at least don't get pissed off!

Welcome to the site! When you say " i guess when i have some time i will figure it out" it sounds like you have little, if any, extra time on your hands. That being the case, you must be all set! Personally, I spent a lot of time on porn and masturbation and that's why I'm here. I never had an issue finding the time to engage is self serving, compulsive and addictive behaviors. Hopefully you will keep busy and won't ever need this site, but if you ever find yourself in a situation where your compulsive behaviors are taking up too much of your time and you'd rather spend that time in recovery we are here.

hatzlacha!

You know, as much as i know the fake names here are silly, I still daven in shemone esrei for members by name - the silly fake GYE usernames - if they are all I have. G-d knows who I'm talking about and for Him they are (probably silly but) meaningful names.

But I have a hard time saying in the middle of refa'einu: "Tatty, help the man who calls himself Avi-pissed find every single thing he is really looking for and needs, in You, one day soon, along with me and all the sexholics and other addicts in your world. Thank you."

But I still do.

I am sure He is moichel. Seriously.

But I'm, really glad GYE's word-censor thingy doesn't let usernames that are much more, em, rude, through. If they did, I'd have to install a 'beep!'-er in my siddur, or something. It might annoy the guy sitting next me. It might even annoy a gibbor or two...

Welcome Avi,

Who are you angry at?
Why are you angry?

I have some more questions as well.

Lookin' forward to learnin' more.

is shmeichel easier on the tongue to daven for?

perhaps, like he wrote above, he just needs to find some time, and that didn't happen yet?
