Seems like once i deal with one stress, another stress seems to pop up. 1-Started looking for a job. 2-shidduchim is emotionally overwhelming....I guess it's not easy to find the Rivka amongst the thorns. Wishing you all well.

BH! I am at Day 52. The urges can be intense at times, but having a good filter makes a big difference. In HaYom Yom Elul Tes, the Rebbe mentions that a subject of personal concern can be understood well even if one is not strong intellectually if it is of importance to him.

I feel that this message resonates with me and many of you as well. When something is important to you, one finds a way to overcome the challenge or succeed in understanding even if the task seems beyond your grasp.

The Yetzer Hara is very strong, but G-d with us and we will succeed. I was reading in Chapter 26 of Tanya that a much stronger person could lose a battle if he is being lazy or sluggish. Even though the Yetzer Hara is stronger than us, if we meet up for the challenge and are not get lazy, we will win. May everyone be successful in overcoming challenges, and IYH I hope to get to 90 days.

Mostly busy at home which is great for me. Keeping intouch with a fellow gye member to keep me in line as much as possible. Wishing you all well!

Moving on.

I have been "following" you since your early days on GYE and I can genuinely say you are a true inspiration. Keep on going!

Zedj I'm sorry that its so frustrating for you.

I'm sick of the Un-scientific approach of today's medical and social environment.
we will never heal and become a better society unless we realize that all people are addicts. Any thing we do that we aren't interested in is "addiction" and medicine doesn't fix addictions.

Pain causes addiction and medicine cant fix pain.

Unless we heal our pain, and become truama conscious so as not to cause others pain, we will never be living in a functioning human society.
