Definitely not something to be sorry for.
Mom, you must be busy dealing with other things,
cause that's something you would catch.

Oh, hi Trying 2 (is that what they call you here?).
Dunno if we've met.
I'm sturggle.
I heard a rumor once that we sound alike.

Eretz Yisrael is the place to be man!

Have a great shabbos!

Yeah i heard the same rumor. It even went as far as an accusation fron the guard. Oh well i got over it already. Thanks for dropping the note. Have a great shabbos.

Hey Mom your just a little slow. The first ever gye sa meeting took place right here in my home. It25, sturggle, Uri. hey Guard did you here that. Are you shepping nachas. And dont worry Uri did not convince me of his way of thinking. Sorry Uri. first rule of marriage agree to disagree.

Not slow son, I already knew!
moms keep some secrets too!
And I know what you discussed
And I know you got Uri thinking.
moms know it all!
Be warned!

that's awesome!
kol hakavod guys!

Yes, I'm definitely shepping Nachas! This is something I've wanted to do for a long time, i.e. to have GYE members make their own little SA meetings. The best would be if you guys would read some excerpts from the Big Book and the White-Book together each time, and discuss... But even if you don't, simply getting together and sharing your sturggles and your Tryings - (and your uri's) and offering each other advice, support and hope, is HUGE.

Kol Hakavod guys! You've set a precedent that I believe will become BIG one day. You are the Nachshonim of GYE  :D

The next step is to actually agree to meet at set intervals. This will put pressure on you all to advance in recovery, so you can share your progress at each meeting, and not want to let down the chevra... It will also lend more power to the whole idea. Way to go guys. You are setting a path for others to follow!

P.S. The 12 Steps & 12 Traditions is also great literature to read together (just replace the word Alcohol with "Lust")... Oh, and how could I forget the GYE handbooks?  

So here's an idea for the meeting, each Motzai Shabbos:
1) Refreshments, small talk...
2) Sturggle reads an excerpt from the White-book and/or the 12&12. Discussion.
3) Refreshments
4) Imtrying reads an excerpt from the GYE handbook, discussion...
5) Refreshments
6) Uri plays a song or two on the guitar, for just a few minutes...
7) 3 hours and 5 cups of Woodford later, Uri shares some divinely inspired insights that came to him... something about control and trust, of-course...
8.) Group hug.
9.) Wobble home

Yes it actually went very well. Or at least i think so. I enjoyed it very much. And i got to hear some of Uris songs first hand. They are absolutly beautiful. I guess well have to be in touch with eachother and see if we can make this more ka'vuah. But its a start.

and invite the other GYE men too
