Hi I am checking in. Just wanted to touch base. I fell since my last post. BUT I am not broken. As we know we have to keep on trucking. I recently saw a thought that gave me allot of chizuk. Rabbi Moshe Sher worked for many years to help pass a law that the US goverment should fund Yeshivas. After it was passed the Supreme Court struck it down. Rav Hutner wrote Rabbi Sher a letter of chizuk. Rav Hutner writes that biggest zechus Klal Yisroel has is the Akaiyda. All the was is an act of trying. Avrahom did not succeed in shechting. He succeed in TRYING. That is what we all should aim for. Go for trying.

Keep on trucking bro. Forget the 89. Always keep it at one. Youll see soon enough how fast that measly one will turn to 90.

As the official uber-moderator and dementor of this thread (?), I want to say to whoever said 30 sounds like little fishcakes, to just shut up and keep on trucking.
Thank you.
;D

PS. ...and l'Chayim!!

Uri what are we gonna do without you??

Hiya everyone. Just checking in for a quick hello. Spent some time on Halevi's thread, and on Human Being's, two newbies we should all come out and say hello to if you haven't already.
KEEP ON TRUCKING, and spreading the good word out there.

Have a GREAT DAY!!

Levite,

It's the war you're trying to win. Even the best generals lost a battle here and there.

Learn from the fall for next time. What caused it? What can you do so that it doesn't happen again? (You don't have to answer this here, but ask yourself this.)

Keep on trucking!

welcome!
3 most important rules of GYE:
1- post
2- read
3- KOT (keep on trucking- never give up!)

Answer in broken "Bardish":

It's clear like chicken soup w/o lokshen!

...that means "yes", I hope.

So...b says:
"As long as "I" fight the YH, "I" is in big trouble"

Yup. When we got all filled with charotoh we tell ourselves "I'll never do it again cuz now I have a plan!! I really mean it this time!"
...and we really do.

But it doesn't work.

By deciding to "fight it myself" I'm letting the fox guard the chicken koop. Is anything more silly?
Who got me into this mess in the first place?
The YH?
If we just keep blaming the YH for everything and deny that we ourselves are a bit "cracked", then we will keep putting this fox (=our very sincere but nutty brain) in charge of the chicken koop (=ourselves) over and over. And we all did that. And we go on scratching our heads..."I'm sincere, so why isn't it working? Ribono Shel Olam! Help me make this work! (...and Tatty, Who knows only emess, hears: "Join with me in this (stupid) fight to make me the winner, OK?").
I guess he just says, "Nope. Try again, tateleh."
Usually we come up with the hair-brained idea that if we only deeply understood why we do this crazy stuff, then we'd finally beat it!
More cheshboinos will only get us more in charge. Great.
That's when we need to really say keep On trucking.

Oy vei.
Stop thinking so much.
You are not that smart anyway.
(I'm talking to me - when I forget - which happens quite often.)

Now, I used to think that Reb b didn't know what he was talking about! It got me angry. 

Then one day my eyes were opened and I realized that he was actually smart enough to accept that we are not that smart.
And I know that this gift can only come from having a shtik'l  humility - I call that "surrender". (also a gift, perhaps)

People like me wonder (especially on Succos!): "Nu! Why can't I just be besimcha?!" 
The answer for me is simple: I need to get rid of some of my gayvoh. Sometimes, my gayvo is the only thing holding me back from simcha.
That kind of simcha is the third step. It's knowing in the heart that I'm not in charge, He is! And he knows exactly what He's doing! 
That simcha is much more powerful than lust.
But the price to pay to get it - and to keep it - is not by learning more, or fasting, or trying harder, or whatever.
It's by dropping our demands and accepting that He'll take care of us.
And the only way for folks like me to come to that is to first completely give up on ME taking care of everything.
That should be easy for addicts. We are losers, right? Losers at the game we could never win.

Does that answer you, Reb b?
