The desire and power of the lust experience is huge. It's definitely bigger than my power, I believe. Still, in my heart it rings painfully true that whatever it is that I really want deep down, the acting out - and whatever desires and "lust hopes" I am holding on to, just don't come near to satisfying it. Knowing that is powerful and changes me.
But still, that alone won't stop me from acting out. I still need a G-d, a program, and a chevra.
