Hi, how are you?

Can someone suggest me anyone (a therapist or anything similar) that can help me? Someone not judgemental, I had a bad experience with a therapist who didn't understand me and just made the things worse

life has been really great the past 13 days I just found out of this site signed myself up and I really felt that this time I'm going to make it through and for 13 days I felt sky high
until today when I got a painful reminder that the struggle is a constant one, the path to victory is a long one, but as I'm writing these lines, I feel now more determined than ever to start fighting the battle again and בע"ה this time I will achieve total victory

Hi all..........

I used to be active on here 10 years ago and eventually went to face to face meetings I had a couple of years sobriety and came off the wagon......
I havent been actively working a program for a few years but still keep with guys.... The problem is I slowly started slipping into old behaviors. until last week I had a major fall and came back and resigned up here. the website has huge amount more than it had 10 years ago..  I am so desperate to change now more than ever. the problem is I know the chizuk will wear off and the triggers will always be here.

The Battle of the Generation by Hillel S. has been a huge help for me.  Message me to find out how you can receive a free copy.



some of the experiences I write about may make it easier to identify me.  This is ok.  I trust that if anyone discovers my identity they will keep it to themselves.  If you do realize that you  know me, I am completely comfortable and welcome you acknowledging me and my struggle in person.

As you already know,
Welcome to the warmest family in the world!

Here you will find true care, concern, and warmth.
Here you will learn that you CAN break free!
There are many tools here to help you in this fight, some of them you may not be familiar with.
There is the F2F Program, the Vaad Program (click here for an explanation of what the vaad is), and the book The Battle of the Generation - many have found this very helpful in reframin' the struggle, as you mentioned.
Posting is a great way to connect, learn, and grow also. 
(The Hall of Fame Thread is an awesome compilation of some the great threads on GYE.)

There is also an extremely powerful tool of accountability, friends, and mentors, as has been mentioned, that has helped hundreds - myself included.
HHM - Hashem Help Me - is the mentor-in-chief around here. He's reachable at michelgelner@gmail.com.
Some of the other great guys here are Eerie - 1gimpelovitz@gmail.com, Muttel - muttel15@gmail.com,   Reb Akiva - mevakesh247@gmail.com iwantlife - iwantlifegye@proton.me minhamayim - minhamayim1@gmail.com amevakesh - amevakesh23@gmail.com

Many of these tools can effect real, internal, lasting change. If the work is put in, and the vigilance is kept up you can become a different man.
Keep postin', you'll see, the oilam is here for you.

Lookin' forward to seeing great things from you!
And don't forget, as always, KOMT!!

P.S. Check out vehkam's thread, it's in his signature...he is a true legend.
