Ooh I was getting worried you went crazy with some ToughSics or Cold showers...

Good to see you’re normal. 
I love your posts and watching your progress. 
You’ve come a long way. 
No worries.
Keep on Trucking. 

How much does it cost to FedEx it home?
2 days in yeshiva without it is worth the few bucks...

Welcome Exxon. Keep on trucking :-)

What’s the “both areas” of struggle. 
Do you peek out of one eye at a time?

That's amazing!!  You're amazing!! 

Keep on trucking 

Keep on trucking!

You got this. You installed a filter on your devices. You removed all the triggers you could have realistically speaking, without giving up you parnasa. Now work on your internal filter. You have the ability to push away dirty thoughts, to stop fantasizing. Without recognizing that you won’t be able to overcome this with all the filters in the world. But if you do recognize it, you will be unstoppable.
So keep on trucking, and maybe try reading the handbook again. Most importantly-keep us posted (pun intended )

Mazel tov!! 


Just remember that you are in control. Yes, life is stressful now. And you'll get used to winning even with this extra hurdle. In the meantime, don't let the falls get you. You are marrying an amazing girl and you have plenty to look forward to in life. Keep on trucking! 

YeshivaGuy, you’re a rockstar!

Keep on trucking...

Such real post, yasher koiach for sharing.
Each of us have our own set of issues with our wives and I speak for myself at least, they can really rock your boat.
Came awfully close to acting out several times when argued with her in the past.
I really agree with what you said. Having this mindset of "acting out is just gonna make things worse" kinda helps. In fact not acting out can be a great source of brochos and yeshuos for all kinds of nissyonos.
What really helps me when I'm really angry/depressed is to do something completely mind numbing for a while. E.g. I have an app for chess puzzles. They can really get your mind off reality for a while. Sometimes, for myself at least, unplugging myself from reality a bit can be soothing.
Anyway Yasher Koach starting and remember, everyone has rough patches, not even the guy who has been sober for years is safe or free from bumps. Just keep on trucking!

You are a brave man! HaShem should bless you with success in overcoming your challenges, as you inspire the rest of us to keep on trucking.
All the best.

שנה טובה ומתוקה 

Day 129: I had a tough day today. I had a massive headache for most of the day. It seems the headache came from my glasses pressing against face. Hopefully, I can get them adjusted tomorrow. I took them off in the evening, and since then I've gotten some relief. Doing school on the computer for hours with a massive headache was no fun. I also have loads of work due which is sort of scaring me. I'm also worrying about all sorts of other things. Finding my bashert, or more accurately, I'm more worried about not finding her. Worried about what people think of me. I have a physical issue which I worry people can detect, although it seems like that it is mostly just a worry. (Sorry for being vague, I can't quite just go and describe myself exactly for you, can I?)

I don't know how much sense the above paragraph made. I don't know if it's relatable. Maybe it sounds like I'm just saying crazy things. If so, I apologize. Going through a pretty tough time now on a lot of fronts. I'm in school in a very challenging subject area. Shidduchim is also a great source of stress. Among all the other areas in life. Mental health stuff.

Yes, I'm complaining. Hey, I had a bad day. Ok, sorry for ranting and raving. I'm going to go and write in my gratitude journal app to set my head straight. Also, so important to move my body. Just walking to maariv and back and getting in some more steps has helped me a bit. OK, maybe I don't need to worry, Hashem knows what he is doing. Sorry for the negative vibes. Planning on having the positive Ihavestrength back tommorow Have a great night everyone, and if you made it this far, thanks for reading! Keep on trucking!

Mazel Tov on the 3 week milestone!

I had my first wet dream after 16 days clean last night. Ironic no? Ah well, at least were handling this together. 

I don't know about reading up on these things. For one, that tends to put them at the front of the mind, and I think its best to ignore them. And none of the sources I know on the topic of nocturnal emissions in halacha are particularly cheery. More like downright depressing. That having been said, I don't know much so ich veis nicht. And the ones I do know are probably not discussing our situatuons - more likely they discuss when you are the one at fault, not when you are trying to do better. Could be some cheery mekoras out there. 

Keep on trucking.
