I'm 19 years old and have pretty much lived here my whole life. over covid when I was home all day started my ediction to P&M. BH over the past few years Iv'e made a lot of progress, shared with a lot of people and am really in a much better place. this year i'm in my first year in yeshiva and now I really want to take it to the next level and be totally free of P&M. so here I am, on the way to 90 days, and I'm really davening hard to make it!
thank you guys for all the support, it really feels so great to be on this platform.
Hatzlacha with your journey in Yeshiva! Looking forward to seeing you at the other side of 90 ... and beyond!
It's very important to CONNECT with someone. Several times, Hashem repeated, “It is good” in the creation story. Do you remember what broke his streak? When he saw man alone, he said, “It is not good.” Sure enough, man got in trouble when he isolated. Surround yourself with a few friends, a recovery group, and an accountability partner.
The opposite of addiction is not sobriety - it's CONNECTION. Addiction thrives on isolation! Find someone that you can share your pain and struggles with. And finally, have someone who can cheer you on and celebrate your both big and small wins with you!
