Hi Everyone, I hope you're enjoying your Lag Beomer, However I'm sure that you heard about the terrible tragedy that happened in Eretz Yisroel. It bothers me very much and I'm sure it bothers you all, so I had this idea.

Next time we have a urge to look at something or somewhere were we shouldn't be looking or do something that we shouldn't be doing, we should think about all these pure Jewish soul that were nifter tonight and we should hold our self's back from doing the inappropriate l'zichus those neshomes. 
Lets post our story and how we overcame our challenge on this thread.

May it be a zichus for us and for all those pure Jewish soul.
May we only share good news.

I don't follow the news too much, didn't hear anything, could you share what happened?

A lot of ppl trampled at a bonfire in meron, unfortunately over two dozens of ppl died.   

It's a terrible tragedy.

Here is a link to be part of completing safer Tehilem for our brothers and sisters in Meron.

Of course you can be old fashioned and take out your closest available Tehilem from your bookshelf.

We should only know of simchas and be zoche to the ultimate geulah speedily in our days.

To add to the Zechus of their neshamos I suggest something more.

I'm married, I have kids, I have a lot in my life, I know a lot of people suffering, sadly there has been many sad events in the jewish world since I started acting out many years ago. And each time I would make a commitment not to act out again, but it wouldn't work. Because my willpower on my own was and is not strong enough. If you are a person that has enoiugh willpower, and you just need a boost. Stop here.

But if your like me. Consider taking another uncomfortable step in your recovery. Maybe call someone real, or join a group, get a therapist, open up to your rebbi/friend/parent.  I'm not sure what it is, but please do something more meaningful then just holding back, because thats white knuckling and it will probably help you for a few days at most until the memory of this horrific event fades.

Sorry I've promised myself too many times after events like these to stop, and it has not helped in the long run. Hopefully your experience is different
p.s. just so you know I'm not just preaching, I did just take another significant step in (hopefully) my recovery.
