I can totally relate to that. Good for you for taking the initiative and being proactive.

Hi SIB101854, You're doing the right thing. AVOID being alone. Solitude has killed me on a number of occasions.

I was only able to get out for a very brief time, but I remain Tahor. I spent a lot of time working my way through some new sefarim on the Parsha and the Moadim whhich I just didn't have the time to do prior to today.I think that I even might have developed a Chiddush with respect to the Leil Seder and the Minhag to learn on Leil Shavuos.

Someone discussed the summer and the fact that female dress codes in big cities are nonexistent, especially as the temperature and humidity go up. The only things that work for me are the subway stare on the street and keeping my head and ears plugged into a sefer on the subway and realizing that I can't and should not objectify female attire as a trigger. It is a daily struggle but so far I am clean.My eshes chayil will be away for one day, but I am resolved to remain Tahor.

My Eshes Chayil went away to visit her family for a few days yesterday, and I have remained clean. In the past, that fact but the summer and the all too visible pritzus in the streets would have driven me straight down the rabbit holes of porn and masturbation. Thanks to GYE, a great therapist, and my Eshes Chayil, I have remained Tahor.

About 5 minutes ago, I learned the hard way that even and especially the secular Jewish media have inappropriate visual content-it was a slip, but it could have led to far worse.

take a look if you need more proof. What passes for news there is beyond what can and should be called news.

Well tonight is our daughter's chasunah and I have remained Tahor. My Eshes Chayil and I will have all of you in mind at this amazing moment. My Eshes Chayil tried on her mother of the kallah gown last night, and someghow I remained Tahor despite the fact that my wife looked amazing in it last night.

I have a medical issue ( sleep apnea) that requires me to sleep on my back. More mornings than not, I wake up in an aroused state because of the mask and machine that I use, which I use every day. I would be dishonest if I said and thougtht that my Eshes Chayil did not look amazing in that gown I could not remained Tahor so far without the chevra here.

I wake up in an aroused state regardless of what position I'm sleeping in.
It's normal.
Much nachas!

The Chasunah and Sheva Brachos were amazing. My mother, MIL and a dear aunt of mine, all of whom are not youngsters, were there and so were many chashuveh Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbonim. My Eshes Chayil went away for a day with a friend-in the past that would have been an easy and open invite for me to go down the rabbit holes of porn and masturbation. With the help of the chevra here , I remain Tahor.

Although I am not at liberty to disclose all the details of this prominent weddin', I was able to snap one picture, where you will notice the smilin' Rosh HaKahal and the visitin' Rosh Yeshivah; please forgive me if I am divulgin' any private information.

Mazel tov again
