Yesterday was quite a rocky day, and only thanks to GYE did I get out of it.

today has been much better BH.

I am Iy'H, Bli Neder, starting a new count. A count for days free of playing online games. It takes away from my life, or actually, it takes away my life!!! It sounds a little funny, but I think I may be addicted to it.

So it's the same rule,

One moment at a time, meaning, I have plenty of things to do (I even wrote myself a note of things so that when I think "why not, what else should i do?" I should find things easily) I just have to make the right choice to do what is important and lasting.

you inspire me! hatzlacha rabba!
i used to look back all the time saying "oh no! what have i done! Hashem help me erase the past." and i never heard a response.
finally i started looking forward saying "Hashem i'm leaving the past to you and i'm forgetting all about it. help me have a good future. help me from here and on be the person You want me to be." and that's where i realized Hashem had been waiting to help me all along

Hey y'all!!

It's been a great week, BH. I was looking forward all week to the O.Y.N.C meeting, which ended up being an O.O.Y.N.K meeting.

as for the count, I am BH 3 days clean of online games!!! R' gaurd, can we get a second chart for that?

and since a few guys have told me that they were having this problem as well, I am cordially invinting everyone to join me in that count, we can make it an accountability group

Just to write the changes I have already seen, 1) I have much more time to do things with more quality, whatever it is (posting, learning, etc.) 2)I have been spending more time with my wife and daughter 3)even when I am doing other things, I listen to my wife with much more attention than when I was being interupted (how dare she!!) from the games.

I just heard a very deep line (after the levaya of a 46 year old women with 11 children, just so you understand)

Last night I had another insight into "accepting oursleves".

As there is so much going on here regarding the ultimate relationship between husband and wife, I was feeling extreme pressure, I was literally ready to explode!!

I called my very good friend, and when I started talking to him I realized that what was happening. I really really badly wanted to be there already. I wanted to have the perfect relationship, where there are no secrets, we are open to each other etc. and I wanted to have right then.

I, BH, realized that all these things are goals, but we are quite far from them. As long as I am on the right path, of changing from a self centered human being, to a caring and thoughtful, husband to my wife, and person to everyone else, I am doing ok. And as he told me b'shem Dov, our only responsibilty is fixing oursleves, everything else is in the RBSH"O loving hands.

Trucking along, and oh....9 days to online games count
