Given that I struggle with News and YouTube as well and binge eating not sure what to say

For the 2 former I've essentially gone cold turkey (and in the current conflict in Israel am like a beggar begging for scraps of news...and it feels great!).

Not sure about binge eating but I've upped my exercise regime. Trying to go on treadmill 20 minutes a day. I know my eating is upsetting the balance more than the exercise but the exercise also feels good (can you say endorphins!)

Posting for accountabilty...

My wife is abroad. My children are in their various Moisdos. I have no chavrusa this morning. I could go to that place I went to just a few weeks ago and indulge in the most relaxing experience on earth... Nobody will see, nobody will know. An opportunity that won't happen so quickly again! My YH is trying hard...

But no. Full stop. 
It may be what I want to do but it's not who I want to be.

TYH for this opportunity of Teshuvah.

Hi I'm new here but just wanna say I'm inspired by your journey sounds like you're getting somewhere despite a really hard situation.

I once had a somewhat similar situation regarding the emuna issues you mentioned at points in your thread. I don't want to generalize or assume anything because I know everyone is different. Just saying that with me it was definitely anxiety/obsessive thoughts related and once i realized that it was the beginning of me getting out of it. Hatzlacha and kol hakavod may your perseverance be a lesson for me and all of the rest of us on here
