since coming on to gye yes with the exception of talking to my wife no-one knows about this

Food for thought

You say you're listening to Dov's calls. Have you gotten to this one?

Disclosing just to your wife may not be as pious as one thinks... give the call a listen ;-)

Although in some cases people may have ulterior/manipulative motives in disclosing these challenges to their wives, in the vast majority of situations, if the wife can handle it, it is extremely proper and beneficial.

There's a pretty big "If" in there, and the answer to that is not always known beforehand.

In my case I disclosed to my wife before I found GYE, and not even knowing that recovery was an option. I was just so desperate to get out of the double life and it really didn't matter to me if she could handle it. I just knew I had to choose a path and I couldn't choose. So I decided that i would tell her and however she reacted that would be my signal what to do. You might consider that the ultimate in selfishness but I was so far gone I didn't care. B"H she took it better than I had any right to expect.

Forget the addict question.

What are you doin' to change?

And please don't say, "I'm not lookin' at porn and I'm postin'," for that's not inner change.

for inner change I'm trying to be honest with myself about my ego anger and self esteem figuring out when and why I get angry/egoistic and working on these middos thru mussar and talking to friends and family.
Also listened to the chossen shmuzzen by R' Fuerman(or however you spell it) also downloading and listening to Dov's calls and reading the different advice found here and trying to decide what works for me from all of these places.
Is there something else should try?

(From a later post) True having a mentor or rebbe to talk to is a good thing but so far I have made very good progress by talking to my wife parents and friends and I see no reason why this cannot continue to work.

Thank you for takking time to help me

Can we have a convo. Do you mind if I inquire my dear brother what's goin on

Can you explain working on these middos thru mussar. What does that mean exactly
"figuring out when and why I get angry/egoistic". Im clueless how to do that myself. How are you managing
"Talking to my wife parents and friends" about the weather? About porn?

All the best - my brother!!

GET YOUR SNOW TRUCK OUT AND KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!

1) learning the basic seforim (sha'aray t'shuvah m'seilas y'sharim orchos tzadikim) about each midda then understanding in a practical way how they apply to me and where I am holding with them and then

2) looking back after I get angry or whatever what happened why did I act like that what mentality did I have that should be changed or my outlook at situations or people
The biggest challenge for me is not looking down at people for the faults that I see for I probably have bigger faults than them

3) about my middos and where I am holding with my lusts (am I down,up,need soe help....)

is this what you wanted to clarify
thank you all for helping me express this

Very nice.

Perhaps do a search for a 4th step resentment sheet. It might prove to be beneficial.

Continued hatzlachah

thanks does this mean you think I am an addict?

#1) Can just make someone more depressed sometimes
#2) Can help lower your self esteem
#3) Talking my wife's parents about my lust and middos, is a good way to ruin my day

All in all a recipe for lust to flourish. oh ok you're a strong guy and manage to hold back... but it's a thin rope that can snap at any given moment

Hey I'm trying to throw you a rope! Catch!!!

Thanks

Shviger week! Yikes!

Hatzlacha with everything.

I don't get it.

My mother in law is epic.

I don't even know if that's a good thing or bad thing.

I am kinda happy that my mil is not "epic" otherwise I would be in trouble...
