Hello 26 Apr 2015 21:51 #253139

Hi. I'm new here. I did use GYE a few years ago but it's had serious investment and looking great!

So, I'm married nearly 7 years with 3 children. I always thought that I would grow out of this. That once I'd been frum for a few years it would stop. Then it was once I'd been married. Now I just can't believe I'm still going through this.

My main struggle is memories from my previous life. Anyone else have this? my imagination goes mad every night. Sometimes I can halt it for a few days but then you have a difficult day, you're tired and it's just like a drug.

Looking forward to being part of the community.

Welcome,

the past haunts us, and the future scares the hell out of me!
What to do?
I'll give you and myself a hint:

Welcome Mendelqwerty!!

Cordnoy has a point!!

Although it is much easier written than done.

I think we are all triggered by different things, and the past is certainly a common one.

What do you mean by memories? Are they good memories that you want to revisit? or are they memories that you'd rather forget, but they come back to haunt you?

Thank you for all the contact.

The memories are experiences that I had before I became frum. I would much rather forget them! But the stories go round and round in my imagination of what I did.

WELCOME! You are looking to solve a specific problem. Many of us have found that the specifics of the problem are not that important. We all suffer from some level of addiction to lust. The methods of recovery remain the same. Try the handbook, see what works. Keep posting and sharing!
