I posted yesterday introducing myself an introducing the start of my journey.

After looking through the site and reading through a lot of threads and feeling quite overwhelmed with where exactly to start. There's so much information so many programs and so many approaches I think I just need some help narrowing down where exactly to begin. 

Thank you very much for yoy input.

Shalom Brother,

Great question.

There is indeed a lot here (BH!) and specific or several things work for different people. If I may be direct in asking, what styles of learning are the most successful for you, given that you mentioned having dyslexia?

Would you benefit from reading a book, The Battle of the Generation (available for free on GYE) that helps one learn a positive approach in tackling this struggle.

There is the Flight to Freedom videos and other materials.

There is Rabbi Shafier's audio series The Fight.

There is the weekly Vaad calls where you can dip your toe into the waters of hearing from and sharing a little with others.

Perhaps some accountability would help, and you can find a "chavrusa" to work through some of the materials with.


Connecting with some of the chevra here may be a way to taste a bit from all of the above and more, and help figure out what you think could work for you. But I understand that's a big step, so maybe for now you can keep posting on the forum how you are doing and see if you feel comfortable with any particular people. 

Hatzlacha and Kol Tov
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you (via GYE, email, or phone - whatever floats your boat)

The links to some of the resources mentioned are below in my signature. If you read, i'd recommend starting with The Battle of the Generation 
In the place where ba’alei teshuva stand, even pure tzaddikim who never sinned cannot stand. (Rabbi Avohu, Brachos 34b)

Great free resources:
My favorite book for breaking free: The Battle of the Generation 
https://guardyoureyes.com/ebooks/item/the-battle-of-the-generation. Change your attitude and change your life!

Rabbi Shafier's incredible lectures on breaking free: The Fight. Download here:

Thank you for your response and for these resources. BH my learning in decent for someone with my other struggle of dyslexia. But I really like the sound of the audio series. I'll be sure to check it out.

Hello and welcome aboard!

Have you ever considered reaching out to one of the Mentors here?

A mentor would fit the bill in creating a program and a plan tailor made to your situation in a one-on-one experience. 

I would highly recommend reaching out to HHM (Hashem Help Me.) He has helped hundreds, myself included and is well versed in many of these areas. I promise you won't regret it. He can be reached at michelgelner@gmail.com

All the best and Hatzlocha on your journey!
