I want to share with you something I experienced today. I have been trying to quit porn and masturbation for a while, having ups and downs with it. One of the reasons it’s been so hard for me is because, thank G-d, my wife and people around me do not know. I have been doi...

Yesterday, while I was on Youtube, I noticed a feature that hadn't struck me before. Every video that you've ever viewed is underlined in red. I was so completely shocked to see how much time I had wasted. I felt like I was wasting my life away and the darkness started ...

Someone wrote to Dov recently: Hi Dov, I recently listened to a bunch of recorded calls from your morning Q and A series while I did some painting at home the last few days. I appreciate the time and attention you put into getting help to folks. I also appreciate the...

Dear R’ Yaakov, Many times I picked up my pen to write to you yet dropped it again and again. I felt no words can do justice and adequately express how Dov and his Desperado's call greatly contributed to my newfound joy and serenity. However, I felt that many can benefi...

Firstly, I would like to thank you for the wonderful, life-saving work you do. Specifically, I would like to comment on the Window to the Soul phone group. I am unable to join in the shiur live because I live in England and therefore for me it takes place in the middle ...

climbingdan I am over two years sober via SA and GYE. I have participated and led many of the GYE phone meetings gyemember123 Sober for over 13 months. Go to SA meetings after a few months on GYE. Learn in kollel. Was very very afraid to join SA, but th...

The GYE phone partner program had a huge impact on my life. I kept falling but I wasn't sure what to do about it and just kept trying to pick myself up by doing the same thing as always: getting back into learning and mussar. Thanks to the accountability I had with my...

Thanks for reaching out to me! I use the calendar on my "kosher" phone. Your site is extremely helpful, and I have been working with Duvid Chaim that you have referred me to him. Talking of him, there are no words that can be used in an email about how wonderful he was in changing around my life in 360 degrees. Keep up your great work! Klal Yisroel really needs it like never before. Thanks, Avrumy G

Dear Duvid Chaim,Thank you so much for your wonderful and holy sessions. Your guidance & encouragement give me tremendous chizuk, and most of all, it gives me hope and expectation to bezh"y succeed in this battle.Just wanted to share my victory yesterday, as a direct ...

Thank you, thank you, thank you GYE!!! Before I started the 90 days this time (I did it once before but fell soon after...), I was so afraid. I have been falling every other day and I was terrified of failing but even more terrified of letting go of my self-pleasure. ...

I would like to thank you, Duvid Chaim, for all the support, and for being my sponsor for the 12 Steps. Since I have been with your Group Call, I want to express my appreciation for the most amazing group of men, from all walks of life; Chasidish, Litvish, Modern Orthodo...

I've been struggling for a long time with lust addiction. BH, last year I've been connecting to GYE. I have done over 30 sessions with Duvid Chaim privately (as my time zone does not allow me to hook up to the big book GYE calls). I am still struggling, but one thing that has helped me tremendously is the chizzuk emails, particularly the pieces from Dov.  I feel I really connect with the things Dov writes, and his comments have made recovery much more real for me.

We get hundreds of letters from Yidden each year, but this one is particularly interesting because it's from a non-Jew and it highlights the impact of GYE in that even someone who doesn't understand much of the GYE terminology was still so effected... He writes: Greeting...

Dear GYE administrators, I have no words to express my thanks and gratitude towards what you are doing here; you saved my life. Not only my life, but the lives of my children and grandchildren as well, you saved my generations. How would my children grow up with such a fa...

I'd like to share my personal experience with dating. It's no secret that one of the main motivators that brought me to GYE in the first place, was the very simple point that I don't want to bring this into a marriage. Till I came here, I was in a bubble of delusion think...

There are so many people here that could benefit from a 12-Step program. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THEM. All those posts from the men & women on this fantastic forum, yet it seems they're just repeating an endless cycle of attempting 90+ days, Fall, Blog-a-lot, Sobriety, a...

Thank you GYE! I want you to know that I've only fallen once in watching inappropriate things since I joined GYE about 4 months ago. I can't believe it myself, and although I still fall occasionally with mast**, this is tremendous growth I never dreamed of. I used to act ...

Steve wrote on his inspiring thread (where you can read his story too): B"H YISBORACH!! I just passed 90 days!! THANK YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE AT GYE WHO HAVE HELPED ME GET TO THIS POINT!! For years I had given up hope of ever getting FREEDOM from this Yetzer Hara, and ...
