When I read this forum, I feel like Noach in the Teiva. Surrounded by the Mabul of shmutz on the web, there is a little Teiva where yidden from all over the globe can come and hide and get the much needed chizuk. Let us all choose this heilige "Teiva" and not let ourselve...

I got an anonymous e-mail about this site and I've been lurking around for about a month now (thank you anonymous yid for e-mailing me!). I figure it's finally time I post a bit about my experiences. I just made it to level 3 in the 90 day journey. I'm 14 days clean! That...

Ok, I have a problem and I'm finally admitting it. I am a 'good Jewish boy' - married, learn every day, I am makpid about davening, halachah etc. etc. except that I look at porn on the net. I have prayed to HaShem many many times to help me overcome this - but I still fee...

Last night, I had the privilege of speaking in person with the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Feldman Shlita, for half an hour about GYE matters. In discussing the forum, I used one of the forum members, a dear friend, as an example of someone for whom the forum has been his lifeline....

"Sci1977" posted recently on the forum: I was scared when I first joined the forum, but I realized about three posts in, "why be nervous? Just write how you feel". It's the best thing I have ever done in my life, period. So what made me join, you might ask. I read the fir...

Today is day 90. I appreciate everyone who attended the kumzitz last night. ImTrying25, Sturggle, Battleworn, and Dov M. from DC's group. It was a really intense evening and I feel honored for hosting it. Also, I thank MOMO and Loi-Misyeish for calling in, that was very m...

Thank You GYE! Thank G-d, this past week I completed the GYE 90-day journey. It's been an interesting process and before I share some of what's worked for me I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you. Whether you realize it or not, you've all p...

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 ...

I've been off-line for the last few months to help me heal, and I'm telling you that it did me a world of good. I even gave my cell phones (which had internet access) to someone to keep for me, and now I plan to take them back from him and sell them off... Now that I'm on...

I was addicted for twelve years, always looking out and wondering who can help me. On Sunday, December 31, 2009 while waiting for my wife to come out of a store, I was reading the news on VIN when I came across an article called The Roving Eye. As I was reading the commen...

This site is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much whoever you are for starting the site. There are tons of great organizations out there all doing good things, but you are simply changing lives. Without you (and all the people giving encouragement on the forum), so many ...

Hey everybody, In case you're wondering where I was, I recently decided that the computer is lately the main and central obstacle in my life right now. I have decided to cut the computer out of my life completely (my wife is typing this for me). I haven't touched the comp...

I grew up in a frum family, relatively Yeshivish, though I did watch movies occasionally. I went through standard adolescent turbulence but turned out OK, boruch Hashem. I learned in Yeshiva for a bunch of years, and enjoyed learning. However, from the time I was young, I...

Thank you HaShem for bringing me to GYE, and thank you Guard for being a true Shaliach. Here are my thoughts at 90 days. As R' Twerski put it in his beautiful article on Pesach, when one is freed spiritually, he is thankful for every second of his freedom. GYE has made me...

The 12 Step Program teaches us how to become Spiritually Fit, and when I am, the triggers can wiggle by and I just won't care to focus on them. Not 'white knuckling', boys, but BLESSED INDIFFERENCE. And I'm SOOOO thankful to Hashem for giving me of His strength to become ...

DEAR YIDDEN, TONIGHT I AM CELEBRATING MY TWO YEAR MARK OF BEING A MEMBER OF THIS HOLY CHABURAH I NEED TO THANK HASHEM KI HITZALTAH NAFSHI MISHEOL TACHTIYAH. THANK YOU HASHEM. MAY THE WEBSITE AND FORUM CONTINUE TO GROW AND MAY WE REACH THE DAY THAT ALL OF KLAL YISROEL BE S...

Although this is my first post, I have benefited from the GYE community for the past 2 years. My purpose in writing is to share with my brothers what worked for me in the hope of helping. I was lost in a very severe lust addiction for 30 years, starting pretty much from...
