J.o.l in my experience, seeking the right therapy is not like looking for the right ingredients at the grocery store, which can be flipped in the wink of an eye. 

Now, the main issue one may have had is shlomo's acceptance of someone that's gay. I'm not translating for him, but I think shlomo has training in coaching, and empathy for gays is the only way to reach and coach such a person to a better life. He did not condone acting upon ones desires.

He said the mindset of Homosexuals is not accepted by many, which pained him and I totally hear what he's saying.

Each man has to know his strengths 
and weaknesses and contribute to society with all Gd gave him. 
Can someone change his makeup? Possibly. Until then life must go on, and don't beat him up - please!

Guys, let King Shlomo live on, he's doing a lot better than years past. 

Read his previous recent posts, and let peace reign!

KEEP ON TRUCKING!!

Working privately at home was a killer for me - It has the traps you mentioned

Thank Gd I don't work there no more

What to do if you have to work at home?

Start with re-designing your garage to fit your 18 Wheeler.
Let me know how that goes :-)

KOP? NP!!!
KOT, TTYL


KOP - Keep On Parking
NP - No Parking (allowed)
KOT - Keep on Trucking
TTYL - The Truck's Your Life

Thank YOU for being part of the crew

I'm sorry to hear the latest news. It's not fun. I've been there, and done that (falling after an extended streak)

Your honesty is a great tool that will get you places, so just Keep on Trucking, cos you're on a good path!!

You're doing great! Keep it up! 
This is exactly how most people feel at your stage in recovery - the White Book talks about it in detail. Just stay pro-active by connecting to Hashem and the fellowship as often as you can and continue to share/surrender these feelings at your meetings. You will pull through with the help of your Loving Higher Power.
Keep On Trucking and may Hashem grant you serenity, strength and courage.

Amen. May they pour in for all of us. 

Much appreciated.

Every single time you close your eyes from watching what's wrong you become the immediate recipient of a miracle. Keep on trucking and the miracles will start pouring on to you bringing שפע ברכה והצלחה.

A great post - I really resonate with it!

KEEP ON TRUCKING ;-)

someone wise wrote to me a few months ago something in the vein of "the reason why you are not looking into your ways is because you are too busy on gye". I looked into my waze, re-routed my truck and now BH things are doing better

Hey, even the guy that coined the term "keep on trucking" did that for an extended period - You have reached your destination!

Not allowing yourself to stay low rather picking yourself up and showing hashem i'm not done fighting is pretty sweet!

Why do you feel that these 4 clean days are sweeter?

My good friend Mr Anxiety absolutely tries this tactic "or in the back of your mind youre thinking that you have to get back to your record of 104 days?(104 days ?!, OMG !...Boom! fall.) "

But i listen to what my Friend Mr. Anxiety tells me and i answer him back you are right 104 clean days is really sweet but acting out is just going to delay reaching anything great again so that's not the solution.

Also to be honest 104 clean days is sweet but even sweeter than that is 4 clean days after falling from a streak of 104 clean days! So ODAAT I will keep on trucking!

 Love Yankel!

i remember your fall, and i will read your thread.. thanks

hi shvisi,

Have not been in touch with you Pretty long. Thanks for sharing and thanks for your honesty. you have dont lots of hard work. this fall is not easy. I have had one as well a bit over a year ago, as you remember. please read my thread the last 2 or 3 pages and you will see that it is indeed possible to pick myself up after a fall with Hashems help.

Keep on trucking brother and you will be fine. it is a new era in your recovery, and im sure you will recover and move forward.

Lomed

I wouldn't call it wasting time as every tip could come to use if not in an affirmative way at least in a way you will be able to help others by showing what won't work 
But even more important we have been sent here for perfection and bettering ourself and while the outside enviorment does not look that way as they honor results and not work we must remember that the work is the main part and be ready to give what it takes to become better so keep on trucking as they say here and you will get there but ceartinlly don't shy away from trying different ways

Actually it depends on each person. But in general "If you won you can win again" essentially = "if you fight you can fight again" which essentially = "holding my breath".

So long as we are fighting and winning we have a problem. Some of us are ok with such a life, and can survive 120 years like this

Either way it's not working for me because recently I've been fighting and losing too much. 

Im currently focusing on learning how to be "Living life" and reading R Twersky on the subject and making small strides BH

Hatzlacha on whatever path you choose

KOTTT
Keep on Trucking Tanking Tooting!!!
