have a great yom tov everyone!!!

hello my friends,
i hope everyone had a great yom tov. i did. baruch hashem i had a spiritually clean one! i had some issue with shmiras eynayim but only a little bit,
im on day 5 btw.

The important thing is that even if you had a problem, you moved forward.

Really - that is the only important thing!

great to hear you doing good!
continued hatzlocha
have a super shabbos!

my rav said that he heard a vort from his father once (not sure if its his own or said in name of someone)  that when moshe had to "kidsheim hyom umacharas" he santified them today and yesterday  that he taught them about priorities, you have to get what needs to be done today, done today and what needs to be done tommorow, done tommorow. the 1st thing that came to mind is GYE and our motto of 1 day at a time.
(he said a lot more on this idea, but this is the main gist)
A GUT SHABBAS!!!!

hello everyone,
how is everyone doing?
ok good news and bad news,
bad news, school ends this week so ill have a lot more time on my hands hopefully not to be used to have falls. it looks like a busy summer though. good news is that my bro is coming tommorow and another person around the house is good! hes here for good, going to the jewish college here so next year also i have him to be here.
just sharing.

If you need to be worried about anything, better let it be of the potential for little trips, rather than the falls. Battle lines have to be drawn way, far away from ground zero for me. For me it's about living honestly - rather than focusing on not hiding porn under my mattress; being more and more present for the people in my life - rather than trying to fight the feeling that they are such pains in the butt for me and when-will-they-leave-me-alone-already-so-I-can-act-out!!, etc....

My focus needs to be away from the acting out vs not acting out, and onto a different shlav of avodah legamri - like the steps (which mention nothing of my addiction after the very first one - the rest is on learning to live according to spiritual principles rather than revolve around fighting my desires, which is not a spiritual thing at all!) for example.

OK, nuff outa me.

thanks dov, i remember going through all those emotions of I want to act out already!!! get away!!!
so thank you, i will put it into practice and work on the trips.

my bro is home! its exciting but also, we have completly diff personalities so it will be hard to connect as brothers, but now that he is back from eretz yisrael and i have a new attitude, hopefully i will work on connecting to him as a brother.
another great thing, now that i know how to tie every shittah of tzitzis, i went on and now i know how to tie a sfard/chassidish shel yad knot (i want to be a sofer when i get older)!

i had a fall today
keeping besimcha and trying to live the 12 steps.

fehl shmehl ring a bell?

You make us kvehl.  No need to yell.

May we all be zoicheh to continue to shteig, and never see the one rhyming word I left out.
