Help adiction and yidishkeit New guy on the block 04 Jul 2017 16:20 #316708

  • Moshe המצפה לישועה
Hi my name is Moshe I'm 20 years old
I had a difficult childhood moving around the world more than 10 times by the time I was 13 due to my father's work which meant I never had a group of friends or felt settled and start laying down roots I was always waiting for the next move or place we would go or for.the next thing my father would stop keeping when we stopped moving gradually my father started keeping less and less mitzvos slacking of here and there and now even though for a family event if he comes he dresses as if all was good he doesn't keep anything not shabbos or yom  tov
This was very difficult for me at around that time which is when I was 13 i was told by someone about sex porn  and started to watch it which made me feel not only bad but also like a hypocrite as I resented my father for not keeping but I myself started to fall but it was sort of an escape for me at the same time my yidishkeit started to fall I lost my geshmak appreciation of it and  didn't lay teffilin countless times I am now 20 and struggling with the same things I am now in the age of shiduchim and things have been suggested for me but I can't and won't bring someone into my life like this and don't want to become part of someone's else's life like this
I signed up to get help take the necessary steps and get back into yidishkeit get back the geshmak appreciation and happiness and feeling of fulfilment I hope I can achieve this and more

Welcome
thank you for sharing your story. I hope you will stay here and get better soon, this really helps. The slacking of and coldness to Mitzvos hangs together with this addiction, so once you try to get this more under control the geshmack might just as well come back as a side effect.

Welcome! It sounds like you might benefit from therapy. Acting out is almost certainly tied to those traumas.  Even having a friend, relative, or Rav/Rebbe to speak with can be a big help.  I wish you all the best.

Moshe

I think you have a lot of resentment of your father.
So you seek comfort in porn.

I recommend a therapist, and also at some point to sit down and tell your father how the constant moving has damaged your life.
I think the lack of regualr friends will affect your confidence and esteem.

But be optimistic, at your age there is always Yeshiva and University and maybe the Army where you can make friends.
And there are local social and activity groups you can join.
