I'll let Ano speak for himself. Yes, I did copy and paste the code, because I thought the 40 minutes it took for me to give everyone on the forum a bit of happiness was enough time spent. Every time I hit the Post button, it was done as an act of love.

OK, that's it, I'm reinstating an old minhag of mine (new for GYE, though) - I'm going to be using my own emoticons when the available ones do not fill my needs. (Bear hug emoticon)

im having a problem finding my footing...

When the ground is collapsing all around you, ignore your footing and try grabbing above you.

They tell a story of R' Meir of Premishlan. As an old man he used to walk up and down a slippery, icy mountain in middle of the winter, to immerse in the stream. A band of mockers once made light of his daily trip and decided to try and imitate him. But as soon as they tried to climb the mountain, they all came sliding and crashing down. When Reb Meir heard about this he said "when a person is tied above, he doesn't slip down below".

The pasuk says: "Gibor Lo Yinatzel Berov Koach... hinei ein Hashem el Yirei'av, la'miyachalim lechasdo - The strong man will not be saved through strength... Behold the eye of Hashem are to those who fear him and hope to his kindness". One meaning of this could be that Hashem doesn't give success to STRONG people who can overcome the Yetzer hara even when it is very difficult. Hashem has enough "strong" Malachim in Shamayim. As a matter of fact, if a person thinks he is strong enough to withstand any test, Hashem may purposefully test him and bring him to fall just to show him that he is not as strong as he thinks. Instead, Hashem wants only "fear of heaven" and "hoping to him" for help.

the.guard Current streak: 805 days OFFLINE Moderator Posts: 6438 Karma: 138	Rage, see this article. You proved to yourself that you can get to about 120 days! The fall was nothing... The changes you made to your brain in those 120 days are not lost. They ingrained a new pattern. As long as you get back up from this fall and don't spiral back into the old pattern, the change you made will stay - and grow. We love you man. Be strong.

oh, rage, what am i supposed to say?

you're still a shining star, and when you fall, you're a shooting star

really.
now you're gonna go back up, up, up.
and you're gonna tell me what day you fell so i can go up too

i actually slipped really really bad on friday, and i thought it was a fall

so going back down to one isn't gonna be so bad

rage, i wish so so badly you knew what you did for me... you literally picked me up out of a dumpster, shook off the garbage, and helped me live. can i say thank you again?
