There is no gym or pool that offers separate swimming like a JCC?

Just heard this morning in a shiur, R' Michel Yuda Lefkowitz zt"l (just passed away a couple of years ago) was on the train to Vilna to learn in Yeshivah when some woman came into his carriage etc.... he jumped from the train and was several months in hospital for his injuries.
הסיבה שיש דברים קשים העוברים עליך היא בגלל שהאדם חושב כי "אני עומד" שהוא מנהל הכל,
ברגע שיתן הכנעה כי השי"ת מנהיג הכל אז כבר אפשר להתמודד עם הקשיים. שמעתי מאדם גדול

If life is a LEMON make LEMONADE

Thank You Hashem for every moment of Sobriety!

Kedusha and the creation of one's own neshama was very real to these gedolim.

That was more real to them then anything else. They would never jeopardize their nitzchiyus that they truly labored for. Unfortunately, few today are anywhere near that league.

But you know belmont4175, you and I and all the guys here are edging a bit closer everyday.

If I jump off a train and break my legs I'll end up in the hospital and in rehab for months with pretty nurses and physical therapist taking care of me. It would defeat my whole purpose!

Take a look at a teshuvah in Igros Moshe where R Moshe Feinstein ZTL discussed riding in close proximity to inappropriately dressed women on subways.
