I was about to act out today. I had gone for a regular massage and then the idea popped into my head, why not take it a step further and go to a more "therapeutic" massage. Then the words of the gedolim on this website replayed in my ears. DO ANYTHING YOU WANT RIGHT NOW, BUT DON'T ACT OUT. I thought to myself, wait a sec, I can instead go for a coffee and leisurely do some work in the coffee shop? YES! Anything but a perverted massage! So I did that instead. I sat down and had a coffee for 2 hours, caught up on some work. It felt great. No guilt, no wasted $80, no self-loathing. Just a nice coffee buzz and a cleared Inbox! Hodu L'H ki ton, Ki L'Olam Chasdie.
