הבּא לטהר מסעיין אותו

Welcome Pure. Have you read the gye handbook yet?
I beleve what Big Moish was saying was, that We need to put in effort - and have a plan - on how we would like to make this work. Of course, we need Hashem to actually do it, As Waydownup wrote , הבּא לטהר מסעיין אותו, But Hashem wants us to put in effort, as you no doubt have been doing.
Many people here have found, that after many years of really really trying hard and still not getting better, they actually needed to try smarter, as opposed to just harder. Thats where the thinking comes in. What strateages are you using to stop, or I should preface that with "What are the issues to begin with". In other words, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself (of course, no personal details, we're all annomous here)

Keep in touch.

Before we all assume that Rabbi pureheart needs to try smarter, one has to know that, that is the case. Thats why lets not jump on to Mr. pure heart. Perhpas all he needs is try harder. Thats why I say you don't necessarly need to think.

So the Mr. pureheart, first contemplate have you ever tried hard before to stop? (I know I haven't.) If yes and it has not worked then its time to think harder.

We all need a plan. Let me share with you one such stratagy written on Nov 10 by the preveious writer.
I don't have a magic bullet. I have a list of stratgies but not one cohesive plan.

1) On a day when I get an urge to flirt white knuckle it
2)I am typically used to falling asleep while masterbating I have a hard time falling asleep without it. It just soothes me to sleep. I have changed my sleeping patterns. Now I try to go to sleep eariler and I listen to some interesting radio show that entertains me. It usually takes much longer to fall asleep than just masterbating but it helps alot.
3)A little related to #2. I stopped sleeping shabbos day so that M shabbos (which is the strongest lust nite for me) I can sleep eaiser.
4)I try to avoid working in areas where lots of women frequent.
5) Just hanging around GYE helps.
6) I hope to start a muser seder with a GYE friend soon
7) I try to say hamapiel from a siddur. After all a large percentage of the brocho is a tefila not to have bad thoughts and dreams.
8. When I get an urge I tell myself hey my wife is much prettier both inner & outer beauty than most of these other girls. Knowing that tonight or tom night I can relieve my itch with someone pretty & who loves me sooths me and holds me back.

And yes its a probelm that I am not always so busy. It varies by day.


This is his idea that he tailored for himself. You might want to take some, or leave some. There are tons of diffrent types of advice here throughout the fourms and entire site. Browes and taste.

Most of us have tried the mehalech of "trying harder" and failed, that's why we are here. From my experience here, those who insist on banging their heads against the wall to "try even harder" usually fail. I know I did.

I don't want to highjack this thread. And I appoligize if I am.So please allow me to just clarify this one last time.

I as in me Mr. Waydown need to do more than just try hard. I need to try smarter and strategics to succeed. I suspect that many are in the same boat as me.

But I have meet people on this site who just never even tried at all to succeed. (especially prevalent amoungst say an 17 yr old bochur new to this.) Some of those people especially ones not addicted in any way shape or form yet may not need to try smarter.

Again on a personal level trying hard isn't enough for me.

I really like that motto - "You need to try smarter, not necessarily harder". I think that applies to so many things in life. Personally that's true for going to sleep at a reasonable hour and not screeching into Shabbos. I'm sure there's more, but those are the 2 that come to mind first because they are a constant struggle as well.
