mid 20s struggling 30 Aug 2017 21:38 #319557

I am serious about my learning and davening, avoidas hashem in general. I have chavrusas, I work, as well as take some classes in accounting. i usually go a few weeks without relapsing, but when I do it usually takes a few hrs to get back to being myself. This addiction makes me feel very ashamed of myself for sinning and although I know I don't have the tools (up until now hopefully) i still feel inadequate or just embarrassed.

Welcome. May it be with hatzlocha. You will find here that you are in the company of many wonderful normal frum people struggling just as you are. In fact it sounds like you are in better shape than most. Maybe share a little more. Are you married? Approximate age. What triggers the falls, etc. Then the oilam here can respond and try to help.

There must be a bug because when I press 1 or 2 all I hear is a dial tone.

Thanks everyone for the support, I didn't realize how many people are struggling and how much support this site offers. My biggest struggle is when I am bored and come across an image that awakens a sleeping beast. The triggers can come from anything like a movie or even just walking in the street. I am single, mid 20's, and live in an apartment with just one elderly parent, making things often quiet and trap for boredom which sometimes leads to lust. I have installed a black list filter and took on more schooling and extra chavrussas to keep myself busy. The handbook was full of so many good suggestions and tips that work for me, such as the Taphsik method and ideas and tips how to push away that urge.

Great actions on your part. Maybe add some exercise to your schedule. It is a healthy time spender and is a proven stress reliever.

Re: mid 20s struggling 06 Sep 2017 05:05 #319855

i think what was really getting me down was the fact that i was doing all the right things but i was still plagued by this disease! but that was my yetzar harah talking. I have added bowling or basketball once a week with friends, it has benefits of both the social aspect and the physical stress reliever . 
thanks again for the support
