Does Rabeinu Guard and company know of this software link? Somebody should tell him, no?

I would personally suggest www.webchaver.org/ . It's the same thing as Covenant eyes and it's discounted EVERY month, significantly. It's not just a copy of CE - it's CE itself with a Jewish wrapper. The customer support for the software is run through CE.

149 days sober according to SA, 32 days on the GYE Chart.


Here is my latest TaPhSiC shevua, it has saved me from erotic thoughts several times a day for the last few weeks.


I swear in the name of ADNI from now until 1AM Friday morning Parshas Shoftim that if I catch myself searching for or writing or imagining erotica and I remember this shevua and I do not stop within 30 seconds then I will go to Meron or Kever Rochel within 72 hours (or if I am an onus, within 72 hours of being able to go, until Taanis Esther 5772).

One question: Are you still going to SA meetings regularly and have a home group?

Isn't that two questions?
No, I do not drink Woodford regularly and I never eat green eggs and ham. I do have a very good home group with decades of sobriety and I go every week. I have a sponsor and I am supposed to be doing the 3rd Step.

OK I missed last week, but I don't usually miss. I even came on the day of the Jerusalem Marathon instead of running in it. That was 150 days ago and I only had a few hours of sobriety.

Long time, no posts.


If you daven shacharis with the Yekkim, mincha with Misnagdim, and Maariv with Chassidim no one will remind you to say Ledovid, Hashem ori veyishi.
So, watch out.

We'll keep it in mind, thanks. Which such a hectic and changing davening schedule, when will we ever have the time to do any serious lusting?
