After my Eshes Chayil challenged me to get help with my addiction, and I aw a therapist who was very helpful, I took a look at the site and signed up. There is no doubt that the chizuk here has helped me confront my addiction, develope strategies, and enhanced my marriage. I can't reccomend the site enough for anyone who has been down the twin rabbit holes of porn and masturbation. There simply is no site like this in the frum online world.

A chaver of mine that I met in AA told me about GYE. I'm from the East coast of the USA.
Much Hatzlacha!

While browsing the net saw this guy drowning C"V and reaching for a lifesaver . Saw the man many times , i was sure it was a breslever ad (not that i am against it C"V but what else could they mechadesh ? ). After a fall one day i decided to click on the man . Since then i had some struggles but B"H , clean over half a year. I am from SA (south america ) , Lived in North America and now residing in the Holy Land. Last Rosh Hashana i was about 50 days clean and was elated in ecstasy that this rosh hashana was different from all the others before that in my life. This time i have acquired some wisdom about the recurrence of this bad habit of mine . I had some tools to work with . I had hope. I wished soo much getting rid of M. But i found myself again and again falling to it like easy prey to a hungry lion. By the way another great thing about finding gye. a short time after joining i started watching myself on the way i overeat, lo and behold !! i am 20 kilograms less overweight . That is right i lost over 40 pounds. The same medicine for lust works just the same for overeating. I need to lose dozens more pounds , but . . . one day at a time ; Dear GYE , KUTGW !! Thank you and thank you again You are bringing purity , cleanliness and Kedusah to Am Yisrael ; I Love You !!

Saw the add on some Jewish news sight, forgot which one. It asked me if I'm drowning in the Internet. I was thinking, well yes I am! Then I clicked on it. Now here I am!.......so glad I clicked on it

I have been struggling for many years alone. After coming home for the summer and falling pretty hard I decided that it was time to take action. I emailed a frum therapist my whole story and asked for help and advice. He directed me to GYE. I had seen it once before but didn't pursue it. Now 3 weeks later I haven't looked back. I am eternally grateful. Thank you all.
I'm from a small city in PA.
Let Hashem Do His Job!

We need to jump off the conveyor belt of life and walk on our own.

You cannot make yourself feel something you do not feel, but you can make yourself do right in spite of your feelings.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

I saw an ad in a local shul. The ad was mainly for fundraising, but also included info on how to reach GYE. Thanks to hashem and to his Shliach the founders and supporters of GYE.
I currently attend live SA meetings. Feel free to reach out to me.

p.s. i would like to point out that this chvrusa and i do not have a personal relationship outside of the fact that we learn with each other and aside from this one incident i dont remember him sharing any other personal info from his life with me. i really believe that Hashem caused this whole episode so that i should come across this website so that i could be helped. all i can say is that Hashems kindness is limitless and extends to everyone no matter how far removed from Him they are, He is always guiding us to become better people no matter what situation we are in.

Once after watching porn i felt that enough is enough! I entered the words Porn Addiction and a few non-jewish sites showed up. While trying some of them, i suddenly found myself on GYE, and here I am b"h!
