So I'm signing off in a few minutes for the day. Probably won't be online again until Sunday morning Israel time (regardless what my profile says. I just stay logged on all the time. I'm too lazy to log on every day.)

Workday 2: no outside surfing, and clean!

Please feel free to comment on anything I've written today, and to add some GMGs so that when I open up my thread Sunday morning (work day in Israel), I'll be inspired.

Good Shabbat and Happy Hanukkah/Channukah to everyone!!!

(RE my joke, I hope I didn't make the ladies blush..)

As of this date, behold my favorite Momo post of all time:

Momo wrote on 10 Dec 2009 11:51:

You know, I was thinking about it.
What I'm trying to do, the 2 weeks isn't the 90 days. Here's the difference:
During my 2 weeks I'm "allowed" to act out as much as I want while in the 90 days you can't.
Letting me act out makes the 2 weeks not a control issue. Instead, it's about me not running to the Net and learning how to live.

Don't worry, I haven't acted out yet, and I don't plan on it. I figure while I'm stopping surfing forbidden images and that lessens my lust, I might as well not act out.
I'm killing 2 birds with one stone. But the fact I can act out if I want to makes it more manageable.
(Again, this is only for me, not to condone acting out. I need to first work on my learning how to live, then I can deal with the lust issue.)

...then shockingly topped by this one:

Eh, I'm only on day 2.

....if you know me, you'll understand why it sounds like music to my ears. Especially the "Eh," part. I'm only on day whatever, too.
Call me a wierdo, but u may need to take a number first....

Thanks, Mr. Momo.

I am restricting myself when I make a decision not to surf in order to gain freedom. This is the explanation how following the Torah, a set of laws actually frees us up. If we follow HaShem's laws, we break the bonds that we let the Y"H bind us with, and we become free.

Momo, that is truly beautiful! I've been trying to get Uri to understand this idea too. He seems to think that any sort of "restricting oneself" is control.

Thanks for putting words in my mouth.Shkoyach!

This weeks seems sooooo long. I don't know how I'll manage not to surf around. Feeling very anxious already, but holding on so far. HELP!! How was your Shabbat?

habib613	there's a reason it's one day at a time. we can't think about more than one day, or even a minute. really, try not to think about the week. it's not about a week. it's about trying to get better. and you have GYE to surf, so what else do you really need
