dovid824 OFFLINE Expert Boarder Posts: 81 Karma: 9	584 days I'm making this post in honor of completing my first Daf Yomi cycle. I haven't studied the Daf every day, especially over the last year, but I've more or less stuck with it. And I've now started my second cycle, and IY"H will complete it too.

This thread is amazing! Cold turkey on the first try after decades of acting out...
Too good to be true...

I am a bochur with a passion for meaning and truth, searching to remain clean and live a holy and fulfilling life.

If you are reading this-you have a friend in me.
Feel free to PM me and I'll share my offline contact information, so we can call and text. I'd be honored if you'd trust me with your story and promise to support you in any way I possibly can.
I've been on GYE for over 7 years. "I may walk slow, but I never walk back" (-Abraham Lincoln?).

zedj Current streak: 14 days OFFLINE Platinum Boarder Posts: 627 Karma: 46	Hi dovid824, I read through your thread last night, I thought it was incredible that you were able to go cold turkey. Have you used any sort of outside help besides for posting on GYE? Is there anything you can share that helped you?

Is there anything you can share that helped you?

I can't think of anything other than what I've already posted in this thread. Basically, it was (and is) my situation, and my faith that Hashem will help me handle it.

It's analogous to doing what a parent tells you, so that the parent will take care of you, and not kick you out of the house.

If my life were perfect and I didn't have faith in Hashem, I don't know how I would motivate myself to become/stay clean.

Ari1990 OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Karma: 0	Dear Reb Dovid I just went through your posts. You just give me strength to go on in life. Thank you so much for posting all this. I am also passing a life crisis and that's how i was pushed to become clean. You are a example of a true Baal Tshouva. May Hashem Bless you with all his good and give you a good life full of achievements like this one.
