Relatable

Wishing everyone a heilige Shabbos!
Think about how good you'll feel if you say no to desire and compare that to how bad you'll feel if you say yes.

Desire is unique in the way that it is never fulfilled -  if you give in the desire comes back even more powerful in just a few days. Telling yourself that its ok because this is really the last time doesn't work because you are just adding new images to your head that will cause future falls.

The Joy of triumph over the yetzer hara is worth the effort it takes to win. It IS worth it! Keep fighting!

happyyid Nice - Mazal Tov!

Recently i guess I've been getting cocky and have been more on YouTube but haven't been nichshal so I tell myself its ok but I know eventually I will slip.

Someone please convince me to stop and revert to my old youtube free ways!!

Idk if I can convince you to stop because I tried for years to convince myself without any success. Maybe I can convince you, though, to get a filter that you can block youtube with. Once I installed a filter on my phone that blocked youtube, netflix, etc., my screen time went down exponentially. Can't recommend it enough and there are many gedolim who agree. 

Anyways, best of luck and feel free to reach out to me anytime bc I also struggle with that kinda thing

There were so many times that I would tell myself that I could just watch clean stuff on YouTube,  but most of the time I would end up watching bad stuff and many of those times I fell... I stopped watching YouTube without wife supervision. Its just really not worth it.

Even with a filter, if we spend our time on non-Jewish news and entertainment websites, we’re bound to see many things we shouldn’t. And one thing leads to another. Spending time on sites like Youtube, Facebook, Instagram (or even news sites like CNN and Fox News) are risky. It’s inevitable that we’ll stumble in shmiras einayim. 

Once we are standing at the edge of the cliff, we are very vulnerable to falling off of it. Instead, we must stay as far away from the edge of the cliff as possible. Therefore, one of the most powerful tools in this struggle is making good fences.

Almost half way there!
BezH 90 days by shavuos

I've been very good recently until today where ive seen many triggering things and had the urge to act out (the urge has not yet subsided which is why I am writing this so I understand logically that if I act out now ill regret it)

My ultimate goal is to have 90 days by elul so my yetzer tells me I can act out now and still readh that 

Already feeling better by j writing this out
