Unfortunately I had what I will term as a slip last night. This can not continue. BH it did not end in actual fall,but a slippery slope down there...

Hey Lou, I guess that was you slipping in the dark next to me. I was wondering who it was. Unfortunately I did fall. I actually hate the term fall, it makes it seem benign, like it wasn't my fault. So I didn't "fall" I jumped.

Wanna restart together? Whoever loses must donate $150 to GYE (or a tzedaka of choice). Let me know if you accept the challenge.

whoever hits 90 days first get to change the title of the story teller
Think about how good you'll feel if you say no to desire and compare that to how bad you'll feel if you say yes.

Desire is unique in the way that it is never fulfilled -  if you give in the desire comes back even more powerful in just a few days. Telling yourself that its ok because this is really the last time doesn't work because you are just adding new images to your head that will cause future falls.

The Joy of triumph over the yetzer hara is worth the effort it takes to win. It IS worth it! Keep fighting!

R Grant,
I am in....starting from today. I had a fall (fail) last night as well. Just to make it more realistic this is only binding  until 90 This is bli neder!
If we both hit 90 then of course IMG will be giving $300!

Thank you!

R' Grant,

Can you please summarize who is committed so far and for how much? Both as participants (i.e., "if I fall before 90, I will pay $150") and as sponsors? (i.e., "if all participants make it to 90, I will pay $300")...

Thanks!
