Hi guys,

Just wanted to post to these forums and get some feedback. I wouldn't exactly call what I'm going through a "struggle". I'm not really trying to stop; I'm just not in that frame of mind.

I still think there's some value in coming forward and saying that. Maybe..

Yitzi

Welcome Yanki,

Yes you came to the right place. Smart of you to open up. Maybe read the hand book, and read the forum. Maybe you can accept in your mind that you can change, and then maybe you will want to change the behavior.

keep it here.

try working on one day at a time .dont fix your whole life now try making a kablah until after shabbos to start

Welcome Yanky....I mean yitzi,
Nice to come here....ummm maybe it isn't...it's kinda scary.
Good you decided to stop, or did you?
Did you ever start? Maybe not.

Either way, there are all types here, and we also like to have a good time in recovery.

So Gershon, let us know what it's gonna be.

b'hatzlachah...either way.

I read the handbooks a while back, and I completely stopped for about 2 years. Then I was really committed.

Didn't really decide to stop, no. Lacking the inspiration, motivation, whatever.

Chaim

Welcome Tzvi, How old are you?

Yitzi, Yanki,gershon,Chaim, Tzvi... ?
Could somebody explain whats going on here ?
Anyways Great strategy so the Yetzer Hara will stop running after you this is truly לבלבל השטן

Eugene, welcome to the family.

There are those who call me...Tim. (Wondering who's going to be the first to get that reference.)

Anyhoo, welcome, and Mazal Tov for being so honest. I think you have a more solid foundation to restart your recovery, when you're ready, than, say, someone who comes here disingenuously claiming they're ready, when they're really not. It starts and ends with honesty, and your honesty is really inspirational.

OMG OMG OMG OMG - i got it all figured out. this is the gemara rosh hashana 16b:

 ואמר רבי יצחק: ד' דברים מקרעין גזר דינו של אדם, אלו הן: צדקה, צעקה, שינוי השם, ושינוי מעשה

so our new friend is not ready for שינוי מעשה so he has gone with שינוי שם. and he has chosen "yitzy" in reference to rabbi yitzchak above. and has gone bouncing around names from there.

as i said in my last post, i like EUGENE, but i think BERNARD and STANLEY are nice too. the name IAN is



and if your heavyset...



JOKING ASIDE (jokin' aside -cordroy), your honesty is refreshing, and lets hope to develop a ratzon for actual שינוי מעשה AMEN.

PS - I HATE to toot my own horn, but this post is brilliant. is there a way to "say thank you" to myself?? JUST KIDDING i am just a little high on life tonight. feels good for a change. i wish it to all of you.

i noticed the typo right after i posted it, but i figured if you ever called me on it, i would just say it was in the spirit of שנוי השם.

but you're real clever aren't you. you barvorned שנוי השם before i could say anything. i guess you're living up to the haskama i gave you in the other blog.

so i guess my only question is now this: after my whole geshmake shtikkel toira, THAT is what you focus on? a typo? we are supposed to be focusing on welcoming our friend LUIGI or whatever he prefers to be called, and here you are nitpicking. i want you to really think about that, and here is some visual aid...



and yes, i know i didn't even manage to spell it right in the first post, so no need to blog about it

Ploni Almoni,

Your post is Gaonus!

Kedusha (I think that's my name!)

You got kedushah's haskamah now.....No need for mine.
