A dear GYE friend of mine who finds it very difficult to verbally say over the telephone that he fell made the following TaPHSiC Shavuah:
Whenever the urge comes, he MUST stall for time. He MUST wait at least 15 minutes before following the Yetzer Horah's directions. (The YH works best when we follow his biding right away - without any pause to think....!!!)
If he does not wait, then he must call on the telephone & admit to what happened; if he waits 15 minutes & THEN acts out, there is no knas.
He tells me that this has worked WONDERS in his recovery!
The Taphsic Knas does not have to be in a monetary matter!
