I too find the shiurim to be a one of the great benefits of gue;
yesterday I listened to a shiur and today I went on a trip to a place which normally would've been a nisoyan to focuse solely on enjoying the company but after yesterday's shiur it was much easier and bh I really enjoyed the trip with not many distractions.

Whcih Shiurim do you listen to? I find the Shmiras Enayim Shiurim from Dovi, very inspiring.

I listen to dov shiurim,

I find dovs shiurim to be very realistic, therapeutic and helpful.

Was not an easy Shabbes and i just have to get this of my head.
My wife was upset with me about the whole situation, which i feel is getting better, and i started having a fantasy again, but B.H. i managed to give G''d the fantasy and he did not return it to me. I guess he loves me..

I should have eritten already last tuesday when i started slipping next i will just the time for it.  As i did not try to find help then for a slip i am doing so now for a fall. Triggered by being upset st someone in the office and deepend by being questioned if i will ever get out of this. The yetzer hora worked and won, i probably also started to think that i have it under control.
What do i do in the future?
I would like to join the 12 step call.
I will see if i can install stronger filters or i will install a reporting system, but i dont know yet who to send it to.

B.H. doing good again after my last fall. Dusted off and picked myself up, there is really no reason to act out or to lust, as the pleasure passes so quickly and the shame and remorse stays on so much longer after that, that i have decided it is just not worth it. It all plays out in the mind, you think this one is even nicer or i have to see just this clip once more, then i am done. 
What do you gain from it? absolutely nothing - just a bad feeling and a feeling of hopelessness if i can really ever get out of this. But then i remember what i read here to just ask Hashem to help me out of this mess, i just pray sincerely and after a short while i am fine again and have other things to on my mind.

Good Morning
I have not been here for a while now, allthough i read alot of other peoples post, i have not written myself. Just wanted to check in and let everyone know that i am doing good B.H. and have started the 12 steps with a sponsor and will hopefully also start soon with a jewish therapist i found on this site. Until now i went to a non jewish one and i think that to let a bit of Judaism into the system will only do good.

After a while of feeling wavey - with ups and downs. i am B.H: feeling better again, i hope to have it more under control. I am speaking to someone from my community which is doing me good, i am doing the 12 steps with him, i hope he is the right person, but better than not doing it at all.

I have not been here for a while. But b.h. doing actually very good, i found the more i think of it the more likely it is that i have a fall. for my recovery i see a therapist and i write my own story of my life privately - not on the forum maybe at some future point i will write it also on here. It helped me alot the forum and still does, i just to the reading and not the writing. My head has been occupied with other thoughts and has no space for these thoughts anymore, i hope it stays like that. And if a thought does enter i can always exchange for other thoughts.

That was along time since i was last on the forum. B.H. i am doing good, the lusting and fantasies are under control - for most of the time. It helped me to realize that i have to want myself, if i do it for someone else because i am scared the outcome from it, it just does not work, the pressure, if coming from outside, is too big to be able to manage. So once i decided i am doing it for me and not get affected what other people think of me i am doing much better. I consider feelings of other people and i also try to understand them but i do not let them affect my mood and i for sure to not act out on them. 
My therapist also helped me alot to understand how feeling and actions are connected, no difference if these feelings are known or unknown, the whole system from bottom to top is connected and every reaction from any situation comes from the childhood imprints.
Fortunately my addiction is not based on an official trauma, i B.H. had a good childhood, was not abused, my parents are still married - many more years i.y.h., and i feel very lucky. My only possibility of getting close to a trauma that i possibly did not get enough attention/love from my parents, and when that was missing i just went to my room all by myself - and if there is no one else to give me love - i just have to give it to myself - that is how my addiction developed into fully fledged monster which it was until about two years ago. Since then i had my ups and downs but at least  i learned through this forum and with my therapist, how to handle situation were i feel like acting out.
I will iyh continue my story a different time.

Nothing good will come out of that.
Rather, give it to GYE.
Use the method listed # 1 on the tools.
Take an oath that you will not look at any uncovered skin.
If you do and you did not speak to Dov or read his Dov quotes or listen To Rabbi Sorotzkin (or his Rebbitzen) on what he/she says about "The times of 'hear no evil, see no evil,'" then you must give 250 lirot or whatever the hell coinage you are using in that country of yours directly to GYE.

Actually, give them your cc, and have them take monthly installments.

Maybe then, someone here will be cured.

Carrying extra money in pocket is super dangerous!
