I know how you feel. B"H I am having a good streak with porn but with over eating, not so much, although my eating is much better now that my porn is under control, but not good enough yet. That's what my scale told me.
Welcome Onward. It is so nice to have you here. I look forward to more sharing so we can help each other.

Wow!! You are very wise and fortunate to have made the decision at 22. I unfortunately waited way too long. But as painful as the past is, I am focusing on the future because that is all I can control. I will leave the past to HKB"H who anyway is granting me the future one day at a time.

Hi,I'm new to the group but not to 12 step programs. I've been in and out of OA for years. I'm wondering if anyone has any thoughts about the connection between the desires for lustful pleasure and the desire/addiction to food. I remember their being some connection, with them both being based on the midah of Yesod. I have this feeling that if could get one of these under control the other one would fall into place too. Anyone?


Worked for me. Didn't help overnight, but training yourself that you're a human being that can make choices, is a good thing.

As the kotzker said:
ומותר האדם מן הבהמה-אין
the ability to say "no"

Welcome

there is a time that we all have the ability to say "no."
But, however, for some of us, there comes a time (due to many variables) where we cannot say "no."

God help us then!
