By the way, the meeting in the doctors office is tomorrow so maybe we could all rally together and take it upon our self something even something small tomorrow as well let’s try to spread the word and make this a big dealBh 
Hi, my name is ILH and I’m a Sexaholic. Easy does it... I don't need to be perfect. 
If you figured out my identity, don't be shy, come say hi! 
It takes tons of courage to fight the good fight, but we don't have to do it all alone.

great opportunity to set a smart goal:

Measurable - for example, it could be measures days

Attainable - committing to the extent that is within your current abilities and experience.

Reasonable - committing to not watching pornography you’re masturbating in order to increase one’s personal holiness and strengthen the marital bond 

Time-bound - 5 days, 3 weeks, a month etc.

The next 2 weeks should be for your wife zchus, Will be extra careful regarding P&M

 *  I failed yesterday, and I might fail tomorrow. But just for today I'm going to give it a try.

Just got two more
  • R.M+ 7 days no goyish music and deleting spotify
  • R.A (female relative of the “modern” persuasion) +49 days of committing to not wear any tight clothes.
  • K (sibling who almost married out) 7 days of no complaining + 30 days of ‏קריאת שמע על המיטה


I am absolutely blown away by the reactions and commitments from today. ‏מי ‏כעמיך ישראל!

is should be a zechut for all involved. I am truly humbled to be a part of this. 

I am calling my new invention “human-raising” like fundraising, except the “damim” is more than money - it’s even more than giving of oneself; it is giving oneself ממש over to the cause. It raises the person to a higher level by virtue of the commitment. I was actually shocked how readily people were willing to take upon some thing that was bothering for a while. A few people told me yeah I have been pushing this off for quite some time, and they simply took the opportunity to use this as a push, and an incentive to do what they know to be right. My approach has been to tell people let’s brainstorm on what you are trying to overcome, and pick something that will push you out of your comfort zone, but not so far out that you will get burned out. 

240 days accounted for (more than half a year!)

125 days to go. 

17 hours left till the dr appointment. 

let’s do this!
