I referred a woman (whose husband is suffering from porn addiction) to your website. Here's her response: Thank you for being available and helping me out when I thought I'd never smile again. The website is huge. My husband and I are totally using it. My husband will als...

Thank You Hashem for giving me my second 90 days of sobriety. I first started pursuing lust in my early teens, and now nearly 30 years later, it's the first time that I have gone more than 6 months without porn or masturbation. Moreover, I can happily say that it has also...

I have recently worked with clients suffering from sexual and/or internet addictions who have been helped by your organization, Guard Your Eyes. I appreciate your balanced and sensitive approach in helping frum people who express a desire to live in accordance with halach...

Hello friends, last night when saying the bracha before lighting the candles, I suddenly remembered the GYE forum, it hit me so strong that I cried. Yes, while saying the bracha with my wife & kids around me, tears started flowing down my cheek, I was so thankful to h...

I want to express my gratitude to GYE for my new round of sobriety. After 49 days of sobriety, I fell. I was slipping and sliding and was having a very difficult time regaining my sobriety. At that time I was trying to find a sponsor from GYE. I reached out to one of the ...

1 year clean today. Thank you to everyone on this site - and especially my wife - for getting me here. Keep on living everyone. No slips or falls. None needed or wanted.   Sci1977 posted last year in the beginning of his journey: It seems weird that almost three weeks cle...

I made a donation to your site because it has been helping me to be strong! I keep it open always, so when I have an urge, I go to your web site instead. The Ramban says that even Rishonim were not free of hirhurim, so obviously hirurim are much harder. Actions, however, ...

I was going out of my mind all morning with the pain that I was inevitably going to fall pretty soon. I was actually spending the morning learning, and I even went to a shuir, and all the time I kept having obsessive thoughts about what would happen when I got back to my ...

We are really a lucky people. There is a whole world outside of this site that has not only immersed itself completely in garbage but, even more unfortunately, has called that normal and settled for a life that wallows in p** and quick-fix stimulation. We, on the other ha...

Boruch Hashem, today is day #540, which ties my longest streak in recent times. Some background: I have had some periods of sobriety in the past. My longest such period in (relatively) recent times was about 18 months from September 2002 to March 2004. And this was befor...

My name is Yossi, I am a 19 year old Bochur, and I have been Shomer Habris for over 6 months B"H - the best 6 months of my life. One of the main things that spurred me to stop, besides for the extreme seriousness of the sin, was the realisation of how much better life wou...

Recently, I took my first business trip in a long time. A chance to choreograph a "Big Fall". Partly to "get it out of my system" (as I rationalized it) and perhaps partly a test if Hashem really wanted me saved from shmutz. Would He rescue me with His own Hand? And sure ...

A close friend of GYE saw the Novominsker Rebbe over Shabbos, and told the Rebbe that he has the zechus of being secretary of the organization "Guard Your Eyes". (The Rebbe is familiar with our work because we met with him and several other Gedolim in July). The Rebbe gav...

I remember once when I was a child I had a very close relationship with Hashem. Then over the years I only checked in once in a while. By my twenties I knew He was here, but I wasn't about to be another "true believer". I needed proof. So I told Him, "I'm not going to bel...

GYE has helped me so much with the great site and the wonderful network of people who are sincere in their desire to help and encourage. It has given me hope, courage, guidance and a sense of community. You have enabled me to refocus on yiddishkeit as a relationship with ...

A year on GYE... How my life has changed... GYE gave me life, gave me happiness, gave me purity... From the last year, I gained relationships that are honest with real people - my spouse, my parents, and mostly myself. I learned: How to look within, be honest and grow. T...

I am a yungerman, who after spending many years in kollel, is today in the working world. I tried to the best of my ability to ensure that the transition to the work-world would not compromise the standard of Yiddishkiet I had lead when I was in kollel, and for a long tim...

As we prepare to exit the year 5770, it is a time to make a reckoning of how the year passed. How it started with guilt & regret for all the garbage I was living in, along hopes and prayers for Hashem to help me get out of it. The format was exactly the same as the ye...
