Hello all. I am still fairly new to GYE (about a week now). I have taken my time to read through most of the pieces found here on the site, and have been talking to a few people within the chat room. I have a question about the book, however. Is it possible to find freedom without the GYE handbook and other suggested tools? I find myself busy with Torah study and my place of employment and family. Plus I am a slow reader. I am not sure I can spare much extra time some days, and read fast enough. So I am asking if the tools, ebooks, and articles are of a great benefit to the freedom I am seeking, or if sharing with the men may be enough. Any responses are appreciated.
I've personally found the forum to be the most powerful tool- reading other people's stories and experiences, challenges, and successes, and seeing how they relate to me and trying them on for size.
However, for some people the handbook is very useful, so I guess you have to figure out if it's necessary for you.
On another note, not having the time is very understandable but we often find the time to get ourselves into this mess, so it probably makes sense to find the time to get out of it.
