Fight isn't ours: We are not asked to fight, we are only asked to want and ask for His help. Give it over to Hashem and pray, "Hashem, I can't, but You can. Take it from me please". It passes: The strong desires and confusion we feel now will pass. In just a short ti...

Question of the Week I see a lot of contradictions in the way the Rebbe is portrayed. He is sometimes described as the founder of Jewish outreach, focusing his energies on bringing lost and ignorant Jews back to the fold. But then when you analyze his writings and ...

Yesod represents the area of Shmiras Habris, so today is a very auspicious day for progress in these areas. The week of Yesod in the Sefirat HaOmer corresponds to the rectification of the holy bris. Shabbos is Malchus She'biyesod. "Malchus" is the all-inclusive day, which...

In the begining of this weeks Parsha, it is written: "And the name of the Israelite man who was smitten, who was smitten with the Midyanite, was Zimri Ben Salu the head of the tribe of Shimon". The holy Ohr Hachaim Hakadosh, whose Yartzeit is today, asks why the Torah wro...

Today is a special day for FOUR reasons. Firstly, today is Yesod shebi'Yesod of the Seffirah. Everyone knows that Yesod represents the area of Shmiras Habris, so today is a very auspicious day for progress in these areas. Secondly, today is the Yartzeit of Rav Shlomkeh Z...

So many people seem to be struggling recently against a seemingly invincible enemy. Many of our greatest warriors experienced falls, and others were posting how they've never felt so close the edge of the abyss. I received a lot of e-mails with calls for help, people were...

he Ohr Hachayim on Parshas Shmos (3:8) writes that before Moshiach's time the Jewish nation will be subjected to the 50th level of impurity. But he also writes there, that before the Redemption the Jewish people will garner the strength to enter into the very "mouth" of t...

As is well known, the more we get out of ourselves and do for others, the less control the addiction has over us. Tonight is the Yartzeit of Rachel Imeinu... Whenever I picture her self-sacrifice at giving away her username and password :-) to her sister Leah on the very ...

Today is the 200th Yartzeit of the holy Badichever Rebbe, R' Levi Yitzchak (passed away in 5570). See this page for a few beautiful stories about this holy Tzadik. I particularly found this story ("Shmerel's Seder") inspiring, because as addicts, we can all relate to the ...

I cannot accept that Hashem brought you through this problem just to get you out of it so you could just move on from here as though nothing happened. He could have protected you from getting into the problem in the first place, no? Rav Noach zt"l used to say: "A guy came...

I once heard in a shiur from Rav Noach Weinberg Zecher Tzadik Levracha, that when Chazal would hear something they enjoyed, like a chidush or something that changed them, they would repeat it 40 times. So once you hit 40 days clean, which hopefully you will soon, you'll b...

Rav Noach was a tremendous inspiration to me while he was alive, (I met him only once or twice, but heard a lot of his tapes). Rav Noach was the epitome of never giving up. I believe that Aish was the eighth or ninth yeshiva that he tried to start. May we all learn from h...

My first exposure to porn came at age 10. My addictive behavior picked up speed at age 12. When I was 16, I had a spiritual awakening and made a conscious decision to stop. However, despite all my efforts, my addiction grew and grew as it threatened my job, my family and ...

In the video clip on this page, Rav Noach's eyes fill with tears and his voice breaks as he says: "Almighty, I know that You care about this much more than me, I know that You want me to succeed. I know that if You help me, we can change the whole world. I know You want t...

Here are a few posts from the forum:   The Michtav M'Eliahu (R. Dessler zt"l) writes that the mind is like a vast empty field. This field will not remain empty. If you do not fill it with good positive thoughts or busy yourself with something, whether it be learning, work...

In honor of GYE's B-day and the special segulah for renewal on this day, let us all try to renew our commitment to guarding our eyes. Here's one idea of a Kabbala that can be very helpful in this regard: "I am mikabel upon myself until after Tisha Be'av, to donate $2 to G...

The original Guardureyes.com website was launched on the 22nd of Tamuz - exactly four years ago. The Yartzeit of Rav Shlomo Karliner is also today, on the 22nd Tamuz. Tzadikim say that although the 3 weeks are generally a bad time to start anything new, the day of Rav Shl...

Only With Hashem's Power There is a fundamental and elementary piece from the holy Ohr Hachayim in (Acharei Mos, 18:2) that gives a clear perspective on the powerful nature of these desires, and helps us understand how Hashem expects us to remain holy in spite of it being...
