הנני מוכן ומזומן לפאוסט פאוסט מספר שש אלפים שהוא כנגד ספירת יסוד ויהי רצון שיעלה לרצון ויעשה פרי ויצץ ציץ ויגמל שקדים

מי שברך רבותינו נשיאנו יעקב המכונה גארד ויחזקאל הוא יברך את אברהם המכונה קארדנוי בעבור שנדר מתנה לארגון גי"א, בשכר זה יזכה לראות עולמו בחייו ובמהרה דידן יזכה לראות עין בעין בשוב ה' ציון עם כל ישראל חביריו ונאמר אמן - איגען

It's hard to put into words what GYE did for me. From being lonely, feeling guilty and hopeless to feeling like a yossel between yosselech (ht to EBD) and getting a new lease on yiddishkeit and making some very special friends.

gibbor120 OFFLINE Platinum Boarder NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Posts: 5251 Karma: 166	MAZAL TOV! You were one of the first to welcome me when I nervously posted the first time. You are the unofficial GYE historian/librarian, always able to find an old post or thread for any question/occation. You have quite a way with words. You keep things light and keep us laughing. May you continue to post for many years to come!

Let's do this once and for all!!

It's been a while (for anyone that hasn't noticed). I got sort of disconnected while away from home yom tov time, and I haven't gotten back since.

I went through a really rough time, not only in regard to lust, but with my whole focus of life. Got shaken up a bit from a few different angles and all at the same time, was very confused and down.

In the midst of all of that, I also got some sort of aversion to all that I had been doing in GYE circles.

Here's some of an email that I sent out to few GYE friends last week

Pidaini wrote:

I do know that I have certain aversion to GYE and all "recovery" inyanim. I don't know if it is because I overdosed, if my expectations of the "system" were too high and I feel dejected or if I'm just in "addict" mode, maybe some of the above, all of the above, or none of the above......I don't know, although I suspect that it's a bit of all of them.

That being said, I'm not known for my self discipline, and to be able to limit my GYE time would take much more self discipline than I was allotted from above. On the other hand, to stay completely out of everything would be an issur of "al tashchis", Both in the aspect of the real friendships that I gained and also in the self honesty and recovery that automatically comes together with these friendships.

I'm not making any plans, not promising anything, not coming in with any agenda, just stopping in to say hi to my friends (and also to fulfill my duty, that I have been told I have, to let all my fans know that I haven't disappeared completely, I'm just changing course a little)

more to come some time or other...
