My feelings on reaching 90(haven't gone this long since I married, I think)

I feel strong, for I have conquered my wants until now.
I feel content and honored, for I have my wife and children.
I feel empowered, for I have acquired the tools I need to live a truly torah'dik(sane) life, and learning how to use them more every day.
And yet I am nothing for I have begun to have no will.....


Feels friggin awesome!!!!!


Just thrilled for you!

Your success and the description you posted is a real motivator.

My wife is assur for the first time in over a year so it's been a lil rough. Have to white knuckle it. Had a real scare this past shabbos. Went to sleep right after I ate. Which was mistake. Woke up holding by a place I haven't been in over 3 months, I got so scared.... But B"H I jumped out of bed just in time. My heart was literally racing.
I'm ok now, started running a lot, it really helps.

I need some advice.
My neighbor who is a friend of mine lives upstairs and his bedroom is right on top of mine. It's not unusual for noise to make its way into our room. And this can really trigger me and makes my night a lil rough. He's the type that if I tell him straight out hel get really embarrassed. Any ideas on how to go about it?

Noise machine, fan, air conditioner... talk loudly so he can hear you, maybe he'll put 2 and 2 together and realize you can hear him too. I don't know. Good question.

You can say, is there anyway you can put carpet with padding in the room above ours, sometimes we can hear you walking at night and it disturbs the baby

You can get the ceiling sound proofed but that's expensive

MAZEL TOV!

I can't tell you how much this thread means to me. Because even though I know its a struggle and everyone is just being honest, until now it's been a little depressing with everyone saying its not so simple you need to be constantly aware (which of course is true) but now I see you have done it with such conviction I'm determined to do this too. Im clean since Shabbos.

Thank you!!
