Wow, JERUSALEM A+! ( suits you much better, thanks guard for the idea)

Keep on going! Keep making everyone @ GUE and of course Hashem proud! You revealed your true colors today in the BM. Now you can't back out anymore. We're waiting for more...

Gut Voch,chevra
thank Hashem my shabbos was beautiful.im now approaching the end of day 9.but i shouldnt get too comfortable,saturday night theres an extra song pull always for me.i spent shabbos in yerushalayim and on my way to the kosel friday night i accidentaly(i promise) walked by the edge of town.so many drunk guys and girls.i was shocked!i had no idea friday night was so packed.i was alittle turned on by the good looking half dressed girls,but it was way overpowered by my shock and sadness.i was overcome with emotion(this does not happen to me often).when i got to the kosel i started crying.i couldnt help myself.theres so much tumah in the world in the holiest city and im part of it.and theres so many young yidden who dont know the joy and kedusha of shabbos.but anyway,back to me.i was hoping subconciously that i would run into a girl i knew in the old city but thank G-d i didnt run into her.G-d knows my obstacles.He guards me well.
when i drove home tonight i passed town again(only way to go really) and i felt such mixed feelings.i saw teens with no inhibitions just feeding off lust.i felt angry that they could fill their needs while i sit and struggle to keep myself in check.they look so happy,while i feel so discontent.what happened to the happiness Judiasm is said to offer??thats what many rebbeim say at least.
2 peices of advice i read somewhere on this site helped me have a much better shabbos. 1)no matter what werer able to give,give it.it gives Hashem tremendous nachas ruach. 2)cry to hashem whenever.plead for mercy.spill your heart out always.Hashem desires the heart.
but then again,arent those 2 one and the same?

Woah, Uri.

Hold in there. Please please dont fall. :'(

Nows the time to cry your eyes out to Hashem.
I hear how torn you are. On one hand, you really reallywant to do the correct thing and hold back. On the other hand, you see the world having what seems to be such fun - and you want to be part of it.

Uri, do you have any sisters / female cousins? Think in your mind what it is you wish you could be doing right now.  Now picture that the female in your fantasy is your sister. DOnt you love her more than that? Dont you want only the best for her? Wouldnt you wish for her a loving relationship with someone who REALLY cares for her on the deepest level?
Not only are the girls you know worth more than a fling, but you yourself are DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT.

Dear Uri,

you should know that you are far from being alone in describing those symptoms of addiction.many people have sunk into this addiction and other addictions and it always feels overwhelming.thank Hashem many great methods have been found to break the addictions,and you will be among the many to escape iy'h.Read through the vast material on this site and you will find what works for you best.we must understand the insanity,where it comes from,the koach that pushes it,and so forth.in a short time,i know youll be back on your feet,with G-d's help.all the best.keep posting
