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 |

Haven't been posting much, for what I think is for good reason. My story here is an absolute neis. Came on, met a few people on chat, got together, and formed OINK. For those that I met on chat that weren't in Israel, I have phone numbers and google chat. Hashem gifted me a network of real names, real voices, real people to open up to.
All of that is thanks to this wonderful forum, and the forum in itself was a lifesaver for the time until the other things took place. But now that I do have those other things, their help overshaddows that of the forum, and I found that I was trying more to boost my ego through the forum than to get help from it. That having been said, this is the place of my rebirth that I cannot just leave, and I still have friends here as well, and I still need to keep a log for myself and by doing so maybe be able to help others as well. Cont. Log The last few days have been very rough, realized on friday that my filter wasn't working, and have been very fearful of the future. I was slipping myself silly starting sunday night, through last night. During that time, I kept in touch with my OINK friends and even went to meet Doc Watson (we spent an hour together), opened up to them, I was surprised that that still isn't a magic pill. By the meeting last night I mentioned that I was talking to real people and meeting real people, and Dovid Chiam interupts (how dare he  ) "only people?!"It hit hard, and this morning it hit really hard, I am ready to open up to (almost) anybody except for........HASHEM!!!!! I am terrified of opening up to Him!!! After telling over that realization to TZ, I knew that there the answer lay. So I said "Hashem, I'm here to open up to You. I've slipped miserably the last few days, because I have a lot of fears now, and I am not trusting You to carry me through them in the best way possible, as only You know what way that is. So I turned to women to escape the situation that You put me, and since pictures (slipping pictures) have not done the trick I was planning on disabling the filter entirely and going to (falling) vids. But now I am here, asking You to help me see that You are carrying me, loving me and waiting for me to look to you." I included the fears in that conversation. I call it a conversation because I felt Hashem answering me, understanding me as if to say "I understand you, I do not expect you to be able to see Me all the time when I have hidden Myself so well. I am so happy that you came to me" Thank you Hashem, I am trying to love You too!!! P.S. I think that is terrifying, telling Hashem that I don't trust Him P.P.S that wanting to disable the filter thing, is gone for the moment
