I think that if the people who founded and run this place would get a phone call from the people who were helped by this place, it would be such a chizuk for them to hear firsthand of the impact they made/are making on so many people. So for those of us who are brave enough, I would suggest maybe calling them up and telling them, a little bit of how you grateful you are to be on GYE. A word of encouragement goes a long way

I was just wondering… how do most people find out abt gye?? Like I happened to see it advertised on the seyim hashas booklet and bh this organization changed my life! Like I’m bh close to 100 days not being mzl and I’m over 100 days that I didn’t speak to someone on chat lines ( I used to not be able to skip a night) I’m still in the process of a full recovery but bh I already see a whole different world and bh have a much better life… but my heart goes out for so many more people that need this help but are not on gye. Maybe it’s only we’re I live ( boro park) we’re it not advertised but there is such a need for it! So many people would change there life marriage there connection with wife and kids with just one good conversation with Hhm it’s so sad that they don’t know abt this…. Or maybe they do but don’t get hooked on … we have to figure out strategy how to get more people hooked to this heligah site if you have a good idea post it and I’m sure gye will be more than happy to do it… like the person my wife cried to more than 3 years ago a very chushivah yid didn’t know abt this organization and he tried to help me but he didn’t but bh I found out myself abt gye but what abt all the thousands that don’t know abt it?!?! At least the chushivah people in each community should know that there is real help . Like I was once having conversation with very chushivah masgiach he told me that once a bucher sees real shemutz he’s gone and won’t be able to get out… I wanted to scream that he’s wrong and thousands of people that were in the shimutz and got out and have successful life’s because of gye but I didn’t I was scared he’d ask me how I know etc. Like gye is building the most and best site but we need good way to get people on and I think step number one is that  the respected people that people come over and say they need help should know that there is help… step number 2 ?looking forward to see some great ides… brainstorms!!

I came across GYE in an unusual kind of way. I was surfing the web....not for pritzus but actually for some guilt-inducing information on the issur and severity of masturbation which was becoming habitual. I was looking for articles that spoke about how Judaism looks down on these kinds of things (this is not recommended...an article about "homosexuality in Judaism" popped up with a picture of two women under a chuppa.....reeeeeeeaaaaaally weird). So in an article about masturbation (which included the "differing views of the various branches of Judaism" lke reform and conservative...machlokes leshem shamayim, right?) there happened to have been a link to GYE!! 
This was last week..the rest is (going to be) history and you're all witness to it!!

we can know that the actions are absolutely wrong and still be completely non judgemental of the people themselves. Everyone has their own challenges and we don't know what we would do if we were in their shoes. We also don't have to support the aveira behavior in order to be non judgemental.
