Hi Everyone,

To all my friends on this site, thanks for reaching out and helping me through this. I thought I was gonna lose my mind!

Not only did I not fall, (maybe a slip, but definitely not a fall, no p**N, no msz), but B"H I'm proud to say that I am K9ed already. I just need Reb Guard to switch my password!!!

Thanks One Life, Momo, Reb Guard, IT25, and of course Reb Bardi!!!

This 90 days things is harder than I thought, or better yet, that was probably a lie. I knew it would be hard especially since I haven't had 90 free days in probably 3-4 years!!!

Thanks again,
HABA

Oh, and one more thing....

Why do we use words like p**n on this forum? Is the word porn the equivalent of Voldemort? Are we trying to shield the youngsters from the reality they've been drinking since they're twelve? What is the deal?

HABA,
be careful not to put in your heart a little of ga'ava (pride) since we are still weak.

don't let the Y"H tells you that now you are strong.  you are not!!

Mazel tov haba. By me this was the first SERIOUS step, when i got k9 and had someone eles holding the password. Although this is not foolproof, its not meant to be. we have to make the fight as easy as possible for ourselves. its only fair. But hopefully with this step youll take it much further. hatzlacha.

Thanks IM25, I totally agree with you that the filter is not the last step. Everything can be beaten somehow, this is just our way of lessening the nisayon.

We see this by Yosef, the MAN OF THE MILLENIUM for people on this site... When Eshes potiphar tries to get him to sin, he says this whole shpiel, "How can I do this to your husband, he gave me control of the whole house and only asked that I don't touch you....." and then finally at the end of his reason's for not sinning he says "vichatasi l'Elokim?"

But the Baalei mussar say that Yosef was lessening the nisayon by reminding himself how wrong it would be due to the fact that his master trusted in him etc... and only after that with the lessened nisayon could he beat the rest of the nisayon by saying "Vichatasi L'Elokim?"

The filter lessens the nisayon, we need our yiras shamayim, our "Vichatasi L'Elokim?" to beat the rest!

KUTGW!!!!  It is a long journey, however if we simplify it to short periods of time it helps.

Also, as Guard has said, the filter is a Heker for someone who wants to do the right thing.  Much like the sword of Palti ben Layish was a Heker - a reminder - that he should not be Nichshal with Michal bas Shaul.
Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!
