Welcome to gye

Theres place here for you in this asylum, so make yourself comfortable, and don't forget the slogan "Keep On Trucking" so if you go thru a red, just blame it on gye

Hello brother.
Welcome to the forum and welcome to a place where you can share and grow.
We are here to support you in your journey.
Have you had the chance to speak to a professional (therapist) about this yet properly?
There are many here with similar experiences to yours and they are, like all of us, getting to a better place over time...
As the guys here say Keep on Trucking!
Smile, Hashem loves you!

May Gd bless you!

KEEP ON TRUCKING!!

Hey Fred
Just like diabetics need to take insulin for their whole lives, we need to keep our guard up for the rest of our lives.
You are doing great! 2000 accumulated clean days is amazing!
Why focus on the one time you took a look at her face when you can focus on the 200 times you held back.
The most unnatural thing for us is to not look and the fact that you are managing that most of the time deserves a pat on the back.
Maybe if you accept the fact that not looking is your insulin you might have an easier time accepting your reality.
Keep on trucking!!!

Thank you guys for the wonderful laugh... I realized it was one too many after the fact and didn't want to change it. Besides, who ever complains about having too much smileys

Day 196!!!

Keep on trucking!!!

@singularity: Are you a lawyer by any chance? That was quite a defensive stretch of thinking.

Welcome. You're in the right place.

First of all please take time to read through the GYE handbook.  No two people are the same, everyone has a slightly different set of circumstances, but we all share this problem and since we share the problem we can share the solution too. The book is written in a general way so it can apply to everyone. I found it helpful to really think about what the book was saying and how it applied to me and my own life.

This is a very common problem nowadays, you're far from the only one to deal with it. The word addict gets thrown around quite a lot, but most people who struggle with this issue are not addicts, just normal people with a normal yetzer hora. Which is good. Some people have come to realise that they really are addicts because their situation got gradually worse and worse despite working on it. When I say worse I mean, in frequency, severity or just feeling worse after every slip. If that is the case we may need more than GYE, which most people find to be therapy or SA or both. But I wouldn't jump to that conclusion about you. Many people have overcome this challenge right here on GYE using the tools in the handbook.

So stick around. Keep posting, keep reading and keep on trucking.

The problem isn't in the devices. The problem is in us.
