its not a issue of "triggerng" just a issue of a שיטה if bachurim should learn all that or not, why?
cause they dont have to know it yet, and it will rise many questions and even a kind of triggering also.
i realised in the middle of answering you, that u are right there is also the issue of trigering (אבער אויף זייער א איידעלע אופן)

I have been making a Double Fence TaPhSiC shevua for the last few weeks but I never came close to even needing it all that time and I wondered if maybe it was a shevuah levatolo.


Until last Thursday night, when I had a major slip and realized at 1:37 on Friday morning that my shevua had expired 37 minutes ago. I quickly made another shevua for another week and went to sleep clean. That Friday night I was feeling "sexed-out" with a mind full of lust and ripe for a full fall, but the thought of having to go to Meron on erev Shvii shel Pesach was enough to keep me clean.


So I am going to continue with my TaPhSiC shevuos without doubting that they really are necessary.

This Friday I led the SA meeting for the first time. I had not expected the honor and I was a bit nervous and I made at least one mistake. I also got my first poker chip for 30 days sobriety.
One day at a time, you never know what is going to happen today.

Keep it up. I am inspired by your success
I am not big enough to not do something I WANT to do because I know it is wrong, but I've been around long enough not to want to do many things, even though they are really enticing at the first glance.

Me, you, Dov and Kosher are actually four. If you all come to Meron, the felafel is on me. We can bentch on a glass of Woodford and have Meron's first English language SA meeting.

I am only buying felafel for GYE members who come to Eretz Yisroel from abroad. Bardichev can have shwarma and a whole bottle of Woodford. If Guard comes along we will all buy him something special.

Meron has pizza shops now?

The last time I was there, they didn't have anything but hills and kevarim.

Tell me, is the Ariza"l's mikvah heated now, too?

Today is the Yahrzeit of Rav Chaim Vital zt"l. He says that if you eat less than you would like (pizza or felafel) in order to weaken your YH and you learn some Torah at the table, even in a pizza store in Meron, then you get a kapporah for your avayros.


If you do it because Rav Chaim Vital said so, then he will be a meilitz tov for you.
If you want to learn one mishna, learn the last mishna of the 4th perek of Zevochim. If you want a short perek, the 4th perek of Shabbos is the shortest.

Thank-you so much for this info, BB, you are a precious and sweet yid and I hope we meet one day soon. Over pizza and a mishna.

Checking in with 40 clean days, which are 5 weeks and 5 days of being sober. Each day by the grace of God.
