"Jack" posted on the forum to someone who is struggling with certain times of the week that he feels very vulnerable to falling: Get a sponsor who you can call anytime and call him when you feel the urge coming on. Put your head between your knees and brace yourself. Bite...

Dear Members, the GuardUrEyes Forum is a vibrant community of Yidden determined to break the addiction and purify themselves. The amount of Teshuvah and Chizuk that goes on there every day is enough to banish the Yetzer Hara to the ends of the earth! If you haven't joined...

Jack sent me an e-mail recently: We couldn't improve in any area without resistance to what we are trying to achieve. It's that push, that brute force, that makes us stronger. In martial arts theory, we see an enemy not as an enemy, but as a chance to perfect ourselves....

I would like to bring an important message today from Elya K (moderator of the free 12-Step phone conferences) that he posted on the forum: I was recently at a conference, and one of the groups was having a discussion about internet filters and someone brought up the poin...

Someone sent us this cute "number Cheshbon" below, based on the ABC. Although obviously this is not a "Gematria" with any real meaning, the lesson it brings out is a powerful truth. (Pictures from the war in Gaza were added for illustrative purposes).If you can't see the ...

We have a non-Jew on our Chizuk list for a long time already who has totally broken free from the addiction to masturbation and porn for over two years already. When we asked him what was the secret of his determination, this was his reply: I have no secret other than the...

Someone asked us recently after a fall for an incentive to restart his clean count to 90 days. Off the top of my head, I wrote him the following:Our sages say two things:1) "Repent a day before you die". Since we don't know if we will be alive tomorrow, we must always rep...

We should never think that we are above falling and let our guard down.  Rabbi Miller was once in the hospital and asked for a male nurse. The doctors said to him "but you're an old man already!". "Yes", replied Rabbi Miller , "but I don't want to become young again!"

Many people are accomplishing great feats of Teshuvah and turning their lives around on the GUE network B"H. And we can all watch this happening LIVE on our forum every day! Here are some recent inspiring posts (edited for clarity):   "Ano-Nymous" (a Bachur) writes: Today...

"Battleworn" posted the following powerful Chizuk on the forum from a Shmooze by R' Tzvi Meir Zilberberg - Shvi'ee Shel Pesach 5759 (edited for clarity): The Chozeh from Lublin, The Beer Mayim Chaim, R' Hershele of Ziditshov, R' Tzadok Hacohen and other tzadikim all sai...

One of the great tzadikim rendered the pasuk "Velo sosuru acharei levavchem ve'acharei eineichem" as follows. Don't untie your kesher with Hashem after (acharei) you went after your eyes and after your heart. The greatest nachas ruach for Hashem is when we keep fighting e...

The Zohar in Parshas Tetzava brings an encounter between R' Shimon Bar Yochai and a old Holy Jew who came out of the desert. R' Shimon asked him why he had been in the desert and he replied that he dwells there the whole year round and learns Torah, explaining that he did...

Whenever there was a strong Kedusha, it leaves a "void" in its wake when it leaves. That is why we eat Melaveh Malka on Motzai Shabbos, to counter this affect. And perhaps that is also why there is Shushan Purim. Otherwise, the great drop in Kedusha from Purim to regular ...

We have a new valiant warrior on the forum who goes by the alias "Ykv_schwartz". He recently wrote a very enlightening post to someone who had been clean for 90 days and then had a fall (edited a bit for clarity): There are some fundamental points that post-addicts must r...

Today I am going to reveal to everyone one of the deepest secrets to winning this battle. So make sure to read carefully: The moment a person decides in his mind that no matter how much it hurts or how bitter it is - he will do it anyway, no matter what; the moment he is ...

I would like to bring you a beautiful e-mail I received from someone who identified himself by the name "Shomer Bris": Dear Guardureyes, I am writing in regard to a recent email I received about your site. I happened upon your site a few months ago, but when I went back o...

Kedusha posted today on the forum: Hello to all, just wanted to share the news that I've decided to aim for a life of pleasure. The question is, how to achieve that, by giving into lust and inappropriate sexual desire? I know from experience, that after experiencing some ...

Dear Friend, I have come to visit once again. I love to see you suffer mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. I want to make you restless so you can never relax. I want to make you jumpy, nervous, and anxious. I want to make you agitated and irritable so everyth...
