Charata is part of teshuva guilt needs to be used to get to the steps of teshuva described by Rabbienu Yonah but with caution especially for addicts and even those who just struggle more than the average person.

Before my last fall was watching naruto one of the shows featured a guy casting a spell but got caught himself in the spell because of his own emotions. He broke out of it when he saw a friend who acts with alot of emotion but does not project it to others. He then realized that one can feel emotions but not be overwhelmed by them hence allowing himself to use them effectively for the spell....

I think there is what to gain by this perspective in the above discussion use guilt as a springboard but don't get bogged down with them

Any thoughts on this guys

I have thoughts. I thought I was the only one who used to watch Naruto. I'd be watching in middle of the night waiting for my baby to go back to sleep and often watched it and disnt watch por. But I think I was a Naruto addict. Watched about 150 episodes I think

beetcha there watched way over 250

Whoa! I have so many questions. What happens to Sasuke? Does Naruto become the Hokage?

I haven't watched it in years- maybe eight years- and I still remember it so crystal clear.

Lots of good mussar there about the monsters inside of us.
I find that a lot of the cartoons have the best yesodos, but that's clearly not what they're there for.

When Hashem sees us, he sees our entire life in one glance, from when we were born until we die, and everything we accomplished in between. While we live in guilt, shame and in the moment, he sees our true potential and who we really are. There is no need to feel guilty when connecting with Hashem. Aderaba, connecting with Him in real way brings simcha in the knowledge that He understands us, loves us unconditionally, like we do our children, and has infinite patience with us...

Not worth it for me reminds me of the last time I was caught   

I'm very proud of myself.

I didn't Google Narudo or Hokedage yet.

Besides, they don't seem my type.

I recently been feeling 0.01% less in control.
Lusting after the wife only a little.
Last night when too tired, masturbating was a disturbing consideration although had no lustful thoughts in the day
