Hey bards,

Is that supposed to be Keep on trucking backwards. 

Hey, I am finally catching on to the GYE madness.  You guys crack me up.

I still don;t really get what the idea means, but who really cares. It sounds good and keeps me outa trouble.  I don;t get any of the stuff out there either.  At least there is humor in your slogan.

Keep on trucking my friend and keep on  making us laugh.

Made me laugh too, that's the best way to start the work day.
While we're looking at alternate spellings, Gevaardig is dangerous

Have a good shabbos.

Bards, you crack me up!

1daat, thank you so much for your Mazal Tov and your previous post that touched me through and through. I too hope that some day we may meet even in this life and share a blatt Gemoro or 2!

DC, Hang tough, you will get there. As amused as I was by the Bards suggestion, I think that trucking backwards would be quite dangerous, particularly when you drink as much as the Bard. Perhpas you might want to go for something a little closer to your original name, but in a more positive way - say for example:

Washing Cycle - you are going to come out clean
Bicycle - It takes a lot of effort to push those pedals, but it's worth it!
Try-cycle - You are trying to break out of the cycle!

or my personal favourite

Virtuous Cycle - you will change the negative that you have been on for a long time into a positive one - I believe in you and so do we all. I know you can do it and this name will show you that you can too.

So yes, I made it to Level 5. Feels so good, inspires me to go vaiter.

Thanks again to all for your support,

Good Shabbos,

Haleivi76

Halvey,

Wow! that was incredible.  Firstly, I love your humor.  And thanks for all those suggestions.  I have all of shabbos to think it over.

Bards,
Is there anything I have to do to get a name change besides an aliaya and a kiddush.

I gotta go,

shabbos is coming.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH!!!!!!!!!


Have a wondeful shabbos. 

"Washing Cycle"??? !!!  Such inspiration comes only to neviiyim.

A gutten voch

Haleivi76, by my count you should be approaching two months of Kedusha (just in time for Rosh Chodesh Elul).  Hope all is well, its been too quiet from you.

We are rooting for you, haleivi76!

Just checking in to say hi.  Let you know I miss you, and that when you get a chance, let us all know the good news.

coiach l'coiach

All,

I want to apologise to my good friends on GYE for my silence over these past 2 weeks.

I know from ur-a-jew that there is always a fear when a member goes quiet that it is due to embarassment of having fallen Chas Veshalom, which made me even more eager to post (even though I have so little time) to reassure you all.

B"H I am still going strong (or trucking as Bards likes to say).

H" has given me a great brocho these past few weeks. He has made sure that I am so busy, I have no time for Internet at all. At work, we have been put under tremendous pressure to work harder and meet deadlines, so I have no time to browse at work and in my home life I am run completely ragged! My wife is now over 8 months pregnant, we are buying a new home and trying to sort out the move and my daughter is about to start a new school, so all in all, I have very few spare seconds to breathe!

BORUCH HASHEM!!!!!

The ONLY downside of this busy life is that I have o time for GYE either and sadly you have not heard from me much, I will try to become a more regular poster again once my life calms down a bit. B"H I have now hit 67 days clean and as previously noted, I will make it IY"H to my 90 just in time for Rosh Hashana, which is very exciting for me and a great motivator.

I wish you all great chizuk and please know that I am thinking of you all and considering you in my davening every single day, even if I am quiet on here.

Please all stay shtark - we are all in this together.

Kol tuv and have a great Ellul,

Haleivi

gevaldiggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg

keep on trucking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mazel tov on your new family member.  I am so glad to hear from you.  See you at yom tovim.

Dear all,

I come onto the forum today, this most momentous of days to say a humble thank you.

To Guard and all the administrators, to 1daat, ur-a-jew, Toadd and all of you who have helped me along the way (you know who you are) and to those who are new to the site and beginning their struggle, thanks to you all.

This is such a wonderful community, I'm proud to be part of it. And now, today as we all stand on the brink of judgement from the Ultimate and so many of us may fear that we will be judged harshly because of the very reason that we came to GYE, a chink of light and hope for all of us. 90 days ago I was nothing, less than nothing. I was an animal, out of control, lusting lusting and yet more lusting. I was a selfish arrogant fool who could not see further than his next 'fix'. Now with help of H" and all of you, I have done what I never believed possible and completed my 90 days!!!

To those who are at the foot of the mountain and see it as an insurmountable obstacle, please believe me when I say that if I have done it, any of you can. Please take chizuk from my success. (My good pal ur-a-jew has recently completed his 90 and I know he feels the same way). The key now is to see this new behaviour as normality. This has not just been a mini project for 3 months and now we leave ourselves open to the Y"H saying "OK big deal, you made the 90 - well done, now treat yourself to some of the things you have been missing out on for the past few months."

NO with the help of H", may we be ever stronger and go Me'chayil el choyil. I didn't plan this, so the coincidence of making my 90 on Erev Rosh Hashana is almost too much for me to fathom. For the first time in possibly 20 years, I can stand before my Father in heaven on this holy day and daven feeling like perhaps I have some zechus to be answered possitively. Maybe, just maybe the things I daven for this year, will be given to me, not out of compassion (because H" cares about us even if we fall and are in the muck), but because I deserve it. I can't describe how it feels, suffice it to say that my eyes are welling up as I type this post to all of you.

A thousand thank you's, a million could never be enough for the koiach this gives me. Please, this is a call out to all those who have just started on the journey and are dreading the Yomim Noraim as they fear the worst, understand that H" cares. The very fact that you have joined GYE will stand you in good stead. Remember that on Rosh Hashana, H" does not just look at where you are holding, but more important than that is the direction in which you are travelling. By joining GYE, you are showing Him that you are trying to lift yoursleves from the shmutz and that on it's own will mean that if you daven for it, H" will reach down with His Hand (Ke'veyachol) and lift you out, clean you up and give you the tools to make it work. It happened for me, it can happen for you too, all of you.

Have a fabulous New Year, a clean, healthy, guiltless, happy, strong New Year and accept my thanks and constant admiration,

Your friend as ever,

Haleivi
