You are a living proof for me that HaShem can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. May He grant us a day of sobriety and sanity.

1daat was the first person I spoke to from GYE.
The first time I met someone from GYE was in Eye.nonymous's sukka.
Chesky convinced me to go to SA.
The Guard helped me make a TaPhSiC shevuah to stop my lustful thoughts.
Zemiros Shabbos gave me his phone number so I could call him when everyone in Eretz Yisroel is sleeping.

That is a small list of what it took to change me.
1. Was a very powerful experience.
2. Made me see myself in a different light.

The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?

Only 8 days clean on the GYE Chart (for the umpteenth time) but still over 1000 days sober in SA which I don't go to anymore because I cannot honestly say I am a sexaholic.

When I see the wife of a chosheve choosid or litvishe yungerman and she is wearing shockingly revealing, enticing and provocative clothing which go against the letter and the spirit of the laws of tznius, I have to remember that I am not the tznius police and it is her problem, not mine. Thank you Bardichev.

I don't see women like that anymore. Have such women started to dress more tzniusly or am I getting old? What about you?

For the benefit of the uninformed (like myself), please explain (once again?) the difference between the requirements for GYE chart vs. sober in SA. Thanks MT

Posts: 780 Karma: 12	The GYE rules are here: guardyoureyes.com/90-days-chart/rules The SA rules are no sex with oneself i.e. masturbation to orgasm or with anyone else who is not your legally married spouse of the opposite sex. GYE is a lot more machmir than SA.

You are so holy, they probably stay away from you.

I see them

yeah, there is a lady at work that I can always smell when she is around. Unfortunately, I like the smell (and find it triggering), so I have to try and close my nose.

I know the phrase "harbey shluchim lamakom". Apparently, the Y"H also has "harbei shluchim" - oy!

If I recall correctly, one of BBs main nisyonos was the work environment. Maybe he can tell us how he got rid of all those pesky women. Maybe, he has some special woman repelling kemeiah that he picked up in tzfat

. I wonder if they sell them in the GYE gift shop

Interestingly, I was talking today with TZ (our daily (Mon-Thu) phone call), and I shared with him that right before calling him I was walking through the corridor at work and as I turned a corner, I came across a co-worker, one of these heimishe tznius dressed yunge veibel. Tznius shmius, she was dressed catchy enough that in shonim kadmoniyos I would have headed straight down the toilet bowl... However, Chasdei Hashem, as soon as I noticed her and wanted to get get carried away, my initial "conditioned reflex" was to look away and to say (in my mind) "get away from me! don't mess up my life! don't mess up my goals!"

So be'ezrat Hashem even if we see them, we need not 'fall' for them. Just as we got into this 'hergel naaseh teva' to chase after lust, we can practice and develop a 'hergel naaseh teva' to run away from lust.
