Thanks. I am scheduled to see him tonight. I can't imagine what he'll say.
I'd still like to continue this no surfing rule, even if he allows it. I see that regular surfing brings me to bad surfing, which brings me to acting out.
I learned that I need the extra geder of not surfing at all, and although It is hard, I CAN DO IT!

I'm so happy you're continuing with your journey. I hold my breath every time I open your thread in the morning, and breath a sigh of relief when I read you are keeping on strong.

Hey Momo,
As long as your doing your no surfing thing, you should start producing these en masse, then you can sell them as Modern art! The bar is pretty low in that area, the Tate Museum in London just paid $10MILLION for ten bricks laid in a row a foot apart from each other, so this stuff should be worth at least a hunnert grand! Maybe you'll make into the MOMA!

Good luck with your no surfing challenge, hats off to you!

I'm not sure where to go from here. I'll ask Rav S, but he has his agenda.

On one hand, it's been easier than other times. Less struggle and more "letting go". But over the past couple of days, it's been harder not to act out.

Rav S would tell me to act out since that's not the issue. In his opinion, the issue is living and not controlling myself. But, I don't want to act out. I'm proud of the clean days I have and know I'll feel very badly if I act out.

According to Rav S, I'm supposed to not-surf in order to find other ways to live. The idea is not to not-surf in order to not act out. But I've used the opportunity of not surfing and not seeing images to also not act out.

But is my not acting out when I want to just a control method? What about self-control freeing myself from the addiction?

Agh! ???

----------
Disclaimer: Rav S's advice to ME is just for ME, not for you. It was told to me in a private therapy session. Guys, don't act out; it's bad for you.

So, the highlight of the GYE chanuka party for me was to finally speak with 7Up for the first time.

However 7Up, now that I've heard your voice, I've got you figured out. Your voice sounded so familiar.....

Everybody, ready to hear the big secret?

Who is 7UP?

7Up is........

my mother-in-law!!! :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

As Uri would say

"just messing with you!" ;D ;D ;D

OK, but she DOES sound a lot like my mother in law, and that would explain how she knows SO much about me!

(now Momo runs away to avoid being walloped by 7Up's cane!) :D :D :D

LOL. I'd be proud to call her my mother-in-law, and I'm sure you would too.

Somebody jealous of me? ??? Wow!

The formula is easy:
1. Don't surf
2. Don't look at women
3. When something starts to get you irritated, just let go, and believe that HaShem will take care of you as He's done in the past and then do something fun (and kosher) for yourself.

If I can do it, anybody can, really!
