"Tomim" Posted on the forum, after the first call:
I was surprised when I realized that this group is much more involving than I thought. Seems to me that Duvid Chaim isn't just looking for listeners; he wants participators too! (Although you're free to just listen in, if you're uncomfortable talking).
If you are able to join the calls, I would absolutely recommend it! From the lengthy conversation that I had with Duvid Chaim just after the meeting, I learned so much about his care, devotion, knowledge, and for me - balance. The honesty and openness in the group is amazing (and this is just the beginning)! I have no doubt that anyone who invests himself into this and follows Duvid Chaim's lead in working the steps into his life, will see tremendous success and ultimately earn back his freedom.
Let me add: The 12-Steps is a holistic approach, in that it does not attempt to just alleviate the symptom (Actually: once into the program, "lusting" isn't even the topic). Instead, it digs deeper, into the underlying issues which are able to correct the person from bottom up. When a person is in a healthy "place", he doesn't feel the need to medicate himself with his drug of choice (in our case, Lust). I'm sure you can see from your time here at GYE, that addicts, from all walks of life, can be very good people and even exemplify great characteristics. "So why then do we falter?", a person can ask. "How can we be good people, and just a moment later we fall into utter evil?. Doesn't that mean that we are not really good?" The answer is NO! But there is one flaw, in that we are all missing a very valuable key! The 12-Steps intends to give us that key. When we have learned what this key is, how to attain it, and we proceed on our journey to incorporate it into our lives, we will not only be free of lusting, but we will be all-around better people with growth and improvement in many areas.
If you want to learn how to win without fighting, and also leave an everlasting effect, this is the place to be! "
As Duvid Chaim says, "It works if you work it. And you're worth it!"
Steve writes to Duvid Chaim, after the first call:
Hi. Thanx so much for the first session. I'm looking forward to continuing with each session very much. I am SOOO looking forward to success. It's like I've been hard-wired for this disease since I started girl-watching as a kid. So many things you said were really on-target. It's amazing how much hashkafah we forget, and how important the 12-Steps are to remind us, not just in concept, but to believe in the practice of it through sharing.
