Hi, does anyone listen to Rabbi Yaron Reuven speeches, to help fight urges. I’ve found them to be very fear oriented, about the deepest depths of gehinnom and things of that nature. Personally fear doesn’t keep me away from porn.
ive had more success interacting here, and with my accountability partner. What are your thoughts?
Larry,
I have listened to many of his shiurim and while I agree that it is not very helpful for us addicts, I will say 2 things:
1 - if you have not watched his video about how he became frum, I suggest you do so. It is incredibly inspiring and unbelievably fascinating (in my opinion) and it gives a whole new prospective on his mehalech.
2 - my father was a sexaholic for a long time. He is now is his low 70's and for the last 8 years he has been bedridden and has been suffering tremendous yesurim. He is now in the hospital for a while in a horrible situation and much pain. His body is breaking down. When I look at his pityfull situation I can't help but think of R' Yaron's shiurim because he talks about this happening quite a bit.
Why not take it with a grain of salt? Just saying... Take it or leave it. I don't disagree with what others have said here.
Hatzlocha,
-Diamond
