please share and call your friends and message me to take any amount of time. 

great opportunity to set a smart goal: 

Specific - no pornography, masturbation, or going to undesirable places

Measurable - for example, it could be measures days

Attainable - committing to the extent that is within your current abilities and experience.

Reasonable - committing to not watching pornography you’re masturbating in order to increase one’s personal holiness and strengthen the marital bond 

Time-bound - 5 days, 3 weeks, a month etc. 

let’s do this!!!!

Wow! 
Thank you! It should be a big merit for everybody.

By the way, the meeting in the doctors office is tomorrow so maybe we could all rally together and take it upon our self something even something small tomorrow as well let’s try to spread the word and make this a big dealBh

This one is left to right ... finally! 

I use that story in a different way,  i would rather be embarrassed of my boss seeing that I'm on GYE looking for chizzuk, rather than being caught searching for loopholes

ILH

My experience in SA has been VERY different then what you describe.Happy to chat if you'd like.

Wishing you tons of Hatzlacha 

Let me try to be a little more clear.
basically I have done crazy dangerous silly foolish stuff because of my sex drive. Which means that I’m a addict( I can’t go into details but things that could’ve destroyed my life and the life of my family) but I bh never hooked up with anybody (even though I was close) and at sa a lot or maybe most have been with others and by me being there and hearing how others did it and how they felt before ( I won’t even hear the second half how they felt after) I will get very triggered and probably will cv fall into the worst. But in a way if I’m addict I need to know how to control myself and how to live life as an addict. Like if I’m gonna be in a situation when I have access to bad stuff or worse will I be able to control myself??? So what a גוי would do is go fall 20 times do the worst of the worst and hit the rock bottom and then see for himself that he can’t live with out sa 12 step. But I’m bh a yid and I can’t do that. So I was really stuck and I couldn’t decided what to do so I spoke to people with a lot of experience and I am in touch with them. But yes I wish to join sa and get helped it for now it won’t help me it probably will make me worse r’l… but I’m not giving up on a clean life! Yes addicted or not I’m a Jew and my father in haven which made become a addict gave a Torah with rules and this apply even for addicts. And he will give me the kiach j need to fight my addiction ( cause I CANT do it myself) H’ which split the ים סוף will split my problems and let me free of my מצרים.  Bhy!!
but I have to do mine to be careful and watch that I don’t fall again so I was mekabul on myself for the next 40 days to say אלקי נשמה and in the week days the יהי רצון from before putting on my תפלין in side my סדור and think the words and have in mind what I’m saying. 
Thank you everyone for just being here to listen to me. This platform is not stam just that a person can type hes problems and get it off hes chest is enough ( besides all the chizuk and ideas that come out of this Heligah site!!!) Kol tov!!
