I was matzliach on the 90 day journey and this is what I realized: 1) I must stay busy 2) I have to wholeheartedly want to complete the 90 day journey 3) I must learn every day I stick with the daf yomi in particular. It brings help from the shchinah, which is the k...

Hi, I am clean now for over 90 days for the first time. On your congratulating email, it asked me to share what helped me get to 90 days. Before coming to GYE, I was blind to the extent and depth of my addiction. The word "addiction" never came to mind in all the yea...

When I first joined GYE, I was clean for 90 days. I was thrilled... Then I got complacent. I kept reading the material, which eventually fizzled out, and then the chizuk emails began to seem unnecessary for "someone like me." So I canceled the emails with the excuse "wha...

I was struggling since age 15. Never made it past 20 days on a good cycle. I found GYE by doing a search in Google. Originally, I thought that if I joined the 90 day challenge, things would be fine. It wasn't. I was too scared to join a meeting. I searched on your site to...

1. It´s my second time reaching 90. I fell pretty hard about a month after reaching my first 90 days. I learned that I can't let my guard down. I must watch for the ¨I´ll never fall again¨ thoughts. 2. Although it´s a huge milestone, it´s really only a number. Nothing...

I had been falling at least three times a week, so it was surely a struggle. I took the 90 days in steps, committing to what I thought I could manage - 10 days at a time. Clicking "still clean" gave me a small feeling of control that I relished, so regularly updating my c...

I've just completed my journey of 90 days and I feel exhilarated! I've been on the chart in the past and had 3-4 falls. But 90 days ago, I knew that if I don't kick this thing NOW, I'll never get there. I'll be a slave to lust forever, chas v'shalom. One of my biggest fe...

I have been an addict forever. It started when I was 14 and now I'm 44, so it's been 30 years. About 10 years ago, I joined Sexaholics Anonymous (SA) and worked with different sponsors unsuccessfully. I just couldn't maintain sobriety. The SA definition of sobriety i...

There are many different strategies that one can employ in order to reach a target. I can only share what worked for me. I found the Step 1 share incredibly liberating and it allowed me to get rid of fantasies that were swirling around my head. This allowed me to final...

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. ...

This is truly wonderful! I've received a huge bracha to be able to reach this point. After a good 20+ years of addiction, I'd totally given up on ever getting near healed and simply accepted that this was my affliction in life, my pain and burden that I had to bear (alo...

I'm proud to say that I have completed ninety days clean! Now, whenever my teachers talk about working hard on something and improving, or about self control, I have this good feeling inside, knowing that I did it. I am so, so, so happy. I feel free! 

My words cannot express the amount of agony, angst, joy, and pressure leading up to this day. The smoke has begun to clear, and another 90 days are barely seen in the distance. But, I can proudly say that I have walked up this hill with full efforts, 'all in'! The only w...

I want to thank you, this website is a life-saver for my husband, and, I think, it will be for me also. Ima Gobbora I hit bottom from bottom, and I would probably be dead by now if it hadn't been for GYE. Thank you again and again. 1daat Shkoyach for all your efforts. Y...

Dear GYE! Have I said "thank you" to you yet? Well, I'd better hurry up, so here it goes: THANK YOU! for getting me to finally stop running like a horse into battle (language of the mesilas yesharim); and for slowing me down, like the Ramchal says, to think about what I ...

I can't tell you how much I appreciate what you do! I am not and never was a real addict. My problem was only when I found myself with the yetzer hara right in my face (alone in front of unfiltered internet, business trip in a hotel alone, etc). BH since I joined GYE I h...

After we mentioned that the 90 day chart on our website is exactly a half a year old, one of our Chizuk e-mail members ("misgaber") sent us an e-mail afterwards as follows: Seeing the chart on your site, it just popped in my mind that it would be a good idea to make a pro...
