I do find though that the self-help / marriage books, though I find them fascinating, still fall into the category of "work" books more than relaxation books, if you know what I mean. So when I want to be "entertained", I don't turn to those. Those get read when I make a set time, a seder, to read them...

The Battle of the Generation by Hillel S. has been a huge help for me. Message me to find out how you can receive a free copy.

some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me. This is ok. I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves. If you do realize that you know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

If I don’t want to think I use music.

When breaking free, I found any other type of “kosher” entertainment took me in the wrong direction.

I agree. I'm also well aware of R' Chaim(oigen's) groundbreaking shtickel in stencils about "The Posture of Pornography" . It's a madreigah; right now I'm trying to walk the tightrope, and avoid my previous other outlets like YouTube and non-jewish music (emphasis on music).

One step at a time! You have to find what works for you.

That is a fantastic article and very similar to my experience.

How about Jewish history, or Meam Loez on Nach (also Jewish history lol)?
Maybe that would be more relaxing because it's like reading a story.

iwantlife Current streak: 24 days OFFLINE Gold Boarder Posts: 167 Karma: 21	Hmm that does sound like more relaxing 'work'. Maybe. Though my wife makes the sourdough in my house. Then again, I was thinking I would love to make my own beef jerky..
