INCREDIBLE!

5 weeks 2 days.. no yt

”yomyom” 
is the goal

Amazing!!! For those who have never experienced the pull of youtube, I think it's impossible to explain how unbelievable your achievement is. And for those of us who have experienced it, there's no need to explain. Keep on going and keep posting. You're giving me such a boost.

Can you explain what this means

(copied from an earlier post regarding the challenge. Whats in bold is the challenge)

YT is dangerous, maybe the more I say it the disgust for it gets bigger and unimaginable to ever go on..

Like I said earlier yt was a big struggle, it was the main issue to most nisyonos to fail, but BH getting head way towards a clearer derech, one day at a time!

Soon it may be 60 then 90 days..

I am happy with my progress, I report more frequently which helps a lot, just at times I don't see the speed of the days going higher as fast, so I lose chizuk a bit. Working on a mehalech always to progress,

BH a chaver pm me with a challenge, don't know if he wants to be mentioned, basically it's a challenge not to use YT in short with some conditions what that means, and kenas of some money to the other guy, and if 2 people lose it gets reset. BH we both did really good, he had way much more to respond of his productivity, I would wish he says it over, but as for me. I had a much better time and awareness of thoughts and grip on myself, my surroundings, I appreciated myself more, I got to work on myself more direct, and not as superficial.

BH, enough with my blabbing, I just want to thank GYE and the oilam helping putting this together, always helping any person anonymously at both fronts, and it is actually working! Kol HaKavod!!, want for all of us to be matzliach till the very end BzH!

thanks for staying tuned with this forum, I hold of YT very Powerfall to grab you in, you must do something about it if you at times or especially consistently fail by it at the end.. What to do? Ask Chaverim here or speak to a Rav if you can. It’s a hard topic and some may not even understand it, but I was there at a point. By that I mean NG levels of low from where YT lead me.

6weeks of no youtube. BH thank hashem it has been way better than not having a grip on myself, now it is so lively to live instead of flopping down daily for hours wasting my time for entertainment and fill my mind with some thoughts before I go out about my day. and also removed me to lead to any porn or so bh... 

I am very happy and excited thanks for all the feedback on this thread, beh will keep it up!!
I challenge anyone else struggling too, you will see how it benefits you!! Hatzlacha All!!!

Wow! You’re a hero! A powerhouse! A soldier of Hashem!
can I get a bracha from you? I think (sorry… I am sure!) your brochos have a direct line to hashem !

I am so happy for you and you should hug yourself and love yourself for being so strong! Give a HUGE (like trump says…) Lchaim in shul!

keep it up!
enjoy
Trying the best,

6 and a half weeks no yt..

If yt stands for Yom Tov - then yes yt - because no YouTube! 

If anyone does not understand the simcha and menuchas hanefesh our chaver Emes-a-Yid is experiencing, i suggest they go off YouTube for 10 days. Then they will understand. While in the matzav one simply cannot see the benefit of living without it.

EVERY ONE IS SAYING JUST DELETE IT BUT I LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE IT S A NORM AND CANT GET OTHERS TO DELETE IT ANY IDEAS

Delete what?
