one of the things i do is worry. in yiddish there is a word "ibbertrachten". rehashing, re-figuring, what if, why, coulda-shoulda-woulda.

96.  Three thinks is the limit.

Don't obsess.  Instead, take some constructive action.

as well as this email www.guardureyes.com/GUE/GUEList2/GUEList2_6.asp #283
Five Powerful Words: 'What Can I Do Now?'
(i got the email, and glanced at it but did not read it much. a friend forwarded it to me. that pushed me to read it. thank you sir!)

and i got this email today as well:
mim.io/cc6f52?fe=1&pact=7904249134

and last but not least, my wife, who summed it all up this morning when she said "do something about it".

i would love to share the secret to overcoming worry. but it seems not to have been delivered to my doorstep yet.
but to dwell on it and ibbertracht and re-hash is definitely not the right way. taking action is good. worrying about it is not.

thank you mr.togbrp for stopping by and for the the wisdom from the rebbe.

being that this is page 100 of my thread i think it calls for some type of ceremony.
ahem...
we are gathered here tonight...
forget it

be'emes, it is a good thing to appreciate what GYE has done for so many and for me specifically. before GYE i was in the dark. looking at bad stuff. feeling bad about it. hiding. feeling like some mutated armadillo. not seeing how the lusting is not the problem, it is the solution i used to comfort myself in the face of my real problems.
now i am not cured or fixed or unpickled, but at least i am more aware of what's going on inside, seeing the resentments, fears and insecurities for what they are. friends who can identify are probably the greatest gift i have gotten from GYE, second only to a new lease on yiddishkeit which has gotten more real and relevant than ever before.
Reb Guard shlita, thank you so much!

and to my friends, bechol makom shehaim, i love you and i thank you for being my friend and for your support chizuk advice jokes recipes and coupons.
and to myself and to anyone else the best thing to do is to keep on posting, zamboniing, hummering, trucking, tomato dipping, SINGING, cholinting and kugeling ad bias hagoel.

Keep going the good go! fighting a good fight! trucking the good truck!
It's page 30 by me too, so, yeah, you got a long way to go, young man!
Baby steps.
If the road is pulling you down, it's a sign that you are going uphill, so just press harder on the gas!

Have a great day - unless, of course, you made other plans.

100 pages in your thread! SMF has only just been installed and you have 100 pages already!
The Blind Beggar is a character in Rebbe Nachman's story of the Seven Beggars.
If I view a woman as an object, I am powerless over lust, but I don't have to look.
I can guard my eyes.
I want to guard my eyes.
I do guard my eyes.
Why do I say these four lines?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
the reason the giraffe is called a tachash [TZ i'm sure you can find a link to where this was discussed a couple of weeks ago] is because it never makes a sound rather it is always
