Hey I forgot about that one.
Yes it’s a must.
I like suggesting it, because it has a great story line, and who doesn’t like a ‘truth stranger than fiction’ serial

I suggest you make an honesty pact with a friend you trust that if you fall you will let him know. It is the best method. It worked for me.

I tried that before. Didn’t work out. I don’t have friendships like that right now...

I’m heading back to yeshiva. Hope to have a good run until Chanukah break. I’m going to stay in touch with some of you by phone or email. Thanks for your support

Hey guys.
Happy to be back here. My Chanukah break starts today, until the beginning of next week. To protect myself this bein hazmanim, I created a contract with the help of a dear GYE friend to regulate my unfiltered device usage. That’s to cover סור מרע. As far as עשה טוב goes- After I post here I will create a list of goals for the week and a daily schedule outline of all learning, davening and other activities so that I have less opportunity to fall.

Wishing you all a bright, uplifting and happy Chanukah!

I had a pretty solid first day of bein hazmanim. I met my daily learning goals, had some good social interactions, and gave out many menorah’s to Jews that didn’t yet have. Didn’t really have any struggles to report. I’m really grateful for the smooth sailing and I hope that it holds up.

Day 16.
I slept in pretty late today, but I still went to Mikva, davened with a minyan, learned with a chavrusa, met my daily learning goals, and spent my evening distributing menorahs. Pretty solid day, Bh. Besides for the occasional lustful glance, there was little struggle in guarding my eyes or my thoughts.
Gotta get to bed. Have a busy schedule planned for tomorrow...

Day #17:
Clean. Accomplished. Busy.
Not words I generally associate with bein hazmanim... Words that define my life right now.
It’s strange how fleeting my highs and lows are. By my last fall I was in a terrible emotional state for at least a week before and after. Now I am energized, happy, hopeful and focused. I pulled myself out of a rut through self-talk and pushing myself to engage with the world, by bite sized activities and goals, and social interactions. It’s unbelievable the contrast, but it also teaches me something I always knew- מוח שליט על הלב.

Today has been slow and lethargic, but it’s not over yet. Gonna go daven mincha, light menorah, and get in a few hours of learning, productivity and connection. See y’all later.
