These last couple days are challenging as I am away from my family but so far I have managed to keep busy and out of trouble. I must admit I did watch a tv show last night which was rather benign but nonetheless I know deep down I should eventually try to give that up too. I don't know if I can give up everything at once. P.Y.

Anyone serious about breaking free of this addiction must refrain from watching TV, Movies and reading non-Jewish magazines, all of which are full of promiscuity. Even the most innocent-sounding children’s movies today are filled with imagery which can be very triggering for any addict, and should be avoided.

Let this be your sacrifice for Hashem's glory. It will be more precious in Hashem's eyes than a Korbon the Mizbeach of the beis Hamikdash!

You may know by now but I had a nefila on Monday which was my 31st day. I am still trying to deal with it and trying not to get depressed although it is heart rending.
I have brushed myself off and today will be my second clean day although I have been battling the yetzer all day. B"H I have the filter on because without it I would be lost. I am not computer savvy so I cannot get around it. It is definitely a life saver!

Poshut, did you see today's Chizuk e-mail #460 (what it says at the end)? That's the yesod to keep in mind, even after a fall. You are a Gibor Atzum for getting up again. That's the name of the game...

BTW. Have you considered 12-Step SA groups?

I am preparing a booklet of steps and Yesodos on this struggle that will be a big help to us all I hope. It should be ready soon... That's one of the reasons I am posting less on the forum lately...Sorry.
