For both of you, I'm just gonna say something that is very selfish so excuse me please.

I don't know if this is appropriate but this story once gave me strength on a bad period of my life when I did'nt do the mitzva of tefilin.
A friend of mine told me this story :

"Once a student came to the Rebbe and at the end of the conversation the Rebbe asked him if he asks for others to put tefilin at university. The student answered no, that he was sorry but even himself didn't put tefilin. The Rebbe just told him "is that because you do not put them that others can't put them as well ?""

I'm sorry for this but it was my way to tell you guys that we need you there.
I know it's very easy for me to tell you that as I'm young, not married, in my parents house, I don't have any particular stress factors and no responsibilities and it is surely a thousand times harder for you to post or to face downs; but you have children here waiting for your words of Kedusha as it is said in Guemara that there is physical children and spiritual ones..!


Please don't let you down by the Y'H !

Thank you so much y'all!!

Palti, thank you!!

BH, the second yesterday was much better than the first!!

I am trying, more than ever, to really get myself a life, some direction of where I should be looking towards. It' not necessarily fun, and it involves some decision making, which I absolutely HATE, but it is rewarding.

As Rabbi Dr. AJ said on a call "a diabetic has to have a life besides for keeping control of his sugar intake, an addict also has to have a life besides for staying sober".

It's a very important point, and should be a game changer for me.

You are doing great yankel
And now that you have decided on your own, you won't get insulted if i tell you:

Same thing in the blue ocean as in the blue sky. Like my avatar is a fish in the ... Darn, it sounded a lot funnier when it was in my mind.

Thanks for being real.

Your story about the wedding album is so LET GO AND LET GOD. Thanks for that.

Haven't posted in a while....back to close to 50 new replies.

Yesterday was Lag-Ba'omer, very nice, but extremely tiring.

Amazingly, with Hashem's help, I did not fall even though it is a perfect day for that! It's very spiritual (trigger number one), no set schedule (trigger number 2), the way back was terrible, hot and the driver was slow (trigger number 3), wife wasn't home when I got back from meron (trigger number 4).

Don't have much time now, although I would love to post some stuff.

Maybe later.

Being a "senior" member here does have it's shortcomings.

I am having a hard time being honest on the forum. Sharing past experiences is one thing, but writing about the present, it's more difficult than I remember, but that might be because I never really did it.....

Anyway, while I was posting away on Friday, I was actually very tempted to get some porn, but I didn't post or write or tell anyone about it. As to be expected, I started the process, but even before I got anything, I had already masturbated....haven't done that in a long time, masturbation without porn.

Reminds me of a good old friend.....5 to da p 2 to the m

I also haven't gotten to know the "new" oilam very well. Before the "chat-change", chatting is how I used to get to know guys, to share and with each other things that we wouldn't really write publicly, but right now, the chat experience is a bit too annoying. It seems that there might be a revival of the plain old chat, that's very exciting. WOOHOOOOO!!!

Heading in to another indecisive day, but one decision is clear...."Slip today? No way! Fall today? No way, Jose'!"

One day at a time, one decision at a time!!

Hi senior!
You still around?
We need to hear from you.

Thanks man!!

I'm still around.

Still fumbling around on my end.

That Sunday day went fabulously well. Was an extremely productive day. But came evening, late evening, and I let loose in a way that I haven't in quite a while. It was an all night-er!! Well...not ALL night, but most of it.

Since then, I have made up, and started, talking daily to an old friend from GYE. It was one of the things that I did when I was doing well, but it stopped when he had to start travelling abroad, but now he's back.

More to come on that.

Thanks stillgoing for the check-in! As I wrote before, I'm not completely comfortable and therefore not as enthusiastic as I used to be on GYE, but getting the notification in my email was really exciting!!

Thanks a lot!!

That reminds me of a quote that I saw on seniors signature

Good Luck

Hello!

I got a heads up today that the chat has been reverted back to the more user-friendly version, and I must say that I got quite excited.

It's been very rough here, and regarding GYE, well I just don't feel that I know anyone, and the way that I got to know people last time 'round was through the chat, but the way they had changed it was too annoying for me....

But I really do plan on starting to get the new oilam here and by doinng so, helping myself.

See y'all!!!

Welcome back!!

What's up?

Hurray! Welcome back.
My bird was getting lonely.
