Why? Find out what is driving you to do so and deal with that. Or go for a jog, etc... 

Good point

Poetry at its best!

Dearest friends,
I wish all of you a heartfelt Gut Shabbos Kodesh.
I am still standing.
Limping, but standing nonetheless.

A fire burns within me for Kirvas Elokim, and I swear to you that I will not stop until it is attained in it’s entirety.

I will stop using this device and set myself free.
I love you all and thank you all for your support.

With determination,

YeshivaGuy

Hatzlocha!

I hope you pop in  when you can to update

It will be our loss if you don't keep posting here,but I sincerely applaud you for your decision. It is a different world now,but I can not imagine how as a Yeshiva Bachur I would have shteiged at all if I always had a phone to keep me busy (even without the Shmutz).
Hatzlocha

I’m keeping this phone in my friends room a floor above me in the dorms. Won’t have easy/constant access, but I’ll be around

Hello @YeshivaGuy,

You are a true hero!!!, It's amazing to see you fighting and coming up with ways on how to stay clean. No words.
Hashem is closely monitoring you, and waiting to see you withstand this.

With love,
Will doit,

I'm not up to date over here, and I'm gonna catch up IYH.

​I just wanted to say that i love it. It's the second thread I go to every time i long on. After mine...

I'm full of respect for @YeshivaGuy.
Admiration.
Perhaps love.
He's been there for me personally when i needed it most.
And i have every intention to reciprocate.
BEZ"H.

Everyone have a wonderful day, and Keep Up The Fight. No use in giving in...

Yeshiva Guy I want to give you some perspective on the decision you have made. You think you decided to rid yourself of an iPhone as a protection for now - while you are a bochur, which of course is true, and you should be applauded for making that decision. But it goes way beyond that tzaddik.

Yidden have always been careful to make their homes sanctuaries - safe places , unaffected by the street. The term teivas Noach has been used about our homes (and yeshivas). For generations, despite our interactions with goyim out there in the world, we came home and closed the door to whatever was going on "out there". Along came the radio and television and brought the goyim right into our living rooms. Gedolei Yisroel campaigned against TV and to a great degree were very successful and many guys who grew up in TV homes, upon marriage, left the TV out of their new mikdash me'at. Even radio - many bnei Torah restricted radio listening in the house either completely or to a large degree. Some made a gender of "only in the car". Eventually Torah true newspapers were published to help us "know what's going on the world", while protecting us from questionable content, which also served as a great service to keep our homes pure. And then along came the Internet..... and wreaked havoc on all this. Let's not even discuss shmutz. The amount of apikorsus - open and subtle is enormous. People who never dreamed of watching goyishe movies, do so quite often now. And we have been desensitized to aidelkeit. Clips of people's happenings are sent around with no concern for their privacy and dignity - simple example - why should someone's car accident be public? Why are we watching someone in their tough moment? The amount of lashon hara and rechilus is appalling. Since when is "online" the heter to say (or write) just about anything? Kids are seeing traumatic events and tragedies rach"l.

When a bochur decides, "my home is going to be pristine - a kodesh hakadoshim. The street has no entry past my mezuza. Western Culture will not enter my abode. There will not be a device in my pocket that will bring foreign ideas - open and subtle kefirah, lashon hara, or images that even the "heimish" news does not realize are unacceptable - why do they show pictures of lady politicians and the like?! Why?!" When a bochur makes that decision, he is protecting himself, his future wife and kids from challenges to their emunah and their kedusha. You are a wise man.
