After years of non-stop research, I have come up with a proposed alternative to the Twelve Steps:

1.) Wear a blindfold 24/7.

2.) Wear handcuffs (hands behind back) 24/7.

3.) Wear headphones and listen to Shiurim 24/6. 

4.) On Shabbos or Yom Tov, spend the entire time learning or davening, including between courses (and between mouthfuls) at the Seudos.

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!

Sorry, but I already cut it down to just one step. As I shared on DC's call the other day.

Take step #2, i.e. "I came to believe in a higher POWER that can restore me to sanity"...

An even quicker way is to utilize a different  "POWER"....... i.e. the POWER of gravity.  Yes, just take a dive from a 10 story building, and........no more lusting!!

I would have posted it elsewhere, but I was afraid someone would think I was being serious (I am, but that's another story!).

During mouthfuls, you can listen to someone else's Divrei Torah!

Just remember Chevra, it works if you make it work - otherwise, you're a stupid jerk! ;D
