You know it's one thing to get a push from redfaced - but then I looked down at all the Thank Yous and I'm like "What?! You guys too!!!"
Just kidding.

But honestly, currently the entertainment on my computer is jmusic.me, ynet headlines to keep track of eretz yisroel, and DIY Homeowner for Dummies - I think I'm better off with them currently than without. I really appreciate the push tho, that's what friends are for (see your first or second post on my thread, Redfaced. Didn't understand you then, but boy do I now)

Day 19:
Bh all doing good - out of town for Shabbos which makes it significantly harder to keep in touch so I am going to be careful to call HHM and two others each day as well as text one person.

As I was reading BennyH's thread It occurred to me again just how special the people here are and honestly I don't think that you all realize how amazing you are. Chazak V'ematz and Good Shabbos!!!

Day 20:
I did as I said but I'm definitely under more stress, way more triggers, and holdin' on Rabbosai. Ich bin nishkein porn-kikker, fellas... Come what may.

Thanks to YKW, HHM, CO, and Foolie.
 Ah gut voch!!!

Day 23:
Bh, day went great, big thanks to ChaimO, Foolie and Eerie!!!

Day 27:
By the way, even in the days when I haven't specifically thanked HHM - thank you HHM. (I hope that works - my wife would never let that fly)

Doing regularly awful - tired, wrung out, kid is sick, didn't sleep last night, yesterday afternoon or early this morning. Ran late in the morning and got into a spat with my wife (b'h a rare occurence) thanks to HHM for letting me vent. All is b'shalom again.

I'm going to take a nap and try not to think about my future while I'm exhausted and it's dreary outside.

As richtig writes often - a few weeks ago, I would be porned-out seven times over, and even today I saw two inviting pics and was tempted by a very random opportunity to engage in chats - bh I pursued neither one seriously altho I looked into the chats for a bit longer than warranted.  It didn't help that I haven't been able to be together with my wife for some time.

Going down as a big win. Thank G-d I'm alive. Now I just have to get some sleep!

Also Hashem this method works too

Day 29:
There once was a man whose wife had the flu
He hated to stay home but that's what he must do
No learning, no praying, and no chapping a shmooze
"Perhaps," said a little voice "it's now time to use"
"It'll take just a moment and you'll feel so good"
"You deserve it, you need it, you totally should"
A few phone calls later things seemed a bit steady
What I didn't predict was how I'd feel when I got in my beddy
G-d almig-hty was kind enough to save me
But not before slipping and sliding like crazy
Was it a win or a loss, I really can't tell
I guess I'll go to heaven and also to hell...

I didn't notice the part where God saved you, and is the 'goin' to Hell' (if there even is such as thin') from this episode? If yes, why pray tell?

I wish I could say that I surrendered and asked G-d to bail me out but this was more like a cheesy haba litaher mesayin lo story. My wife woke up and shook me outta my state of jitters.

Hell. Well, I screwed up somewhat. I started thinking and planning about how I could get my eyes on a nice bit o' lusty material. I looked at something that wasn't precisely appropriate. For that I will go to hell. Nothing to worry about. Just being purified from my own mistakes. The great thing about going to hell is that it doesn't mean that I didn't also achieve a great accomplishment in the part of the battle in which I succeeded. So that allows me to take this overall as a win.

But really the line just kinda popped into my head and I thought it was funny :-)

Your seussian rhyme hit me hard on the nose 
And dropped a wet chill all the way to my toes 
If your flu-up and screw-up in  true-up will tell
As a non-pornerator you ain’t going to hell !

Sounds similar to Yosef when he saw the face of Yaakov. Did you push it off for a while after you had the urge before your wife woke up? Did you still have the ability to sin after your wife woke up? Could you think of an appropriate and effective response, should you have another urge? Keep up your good work.

NOT FAIR - I was about to call you out for saying aggregate , than you go and edit your post!?!?!

You know, dear HeChochma, as I read your cute post,
It's clear there's a win of which you can boast,
Just keep on trucking, a smart man once said,
And next time you're itchy as you lay in bed,
Don't just lay there all lost, with thoughts all tzifloigen,
Just get up and call the Rosh, Chaim Oigen!!!
And if he's learning with Benny, ah, how they enjoy,
Well, then, get your bulletproof vest and call The Cordnoy!!!
This great post of yours put some ideas in my head,
Cause the boys say there really should be a thread,
Where guys can all write their fictional story,
And let's see who can some up with the one the most gory,
I just thought that it's great, your poem and it's timing,
Start a thread where we can also try our hand at rhyming,

And as you go up, and your zechuyois are piling, 
The main thing my friend, is MAKE SURE YOU KEEP SMILING!!!

B'ahava
Gimpel

No matter how hard you'll try to sound scary
You'll never succeed, my dear friend Eerie
On the other hand, if you want to sound mushy
I think you'll do great, all warm and gushy
If you're looking for someone to ace the gory 
Ask YouKnowWho, he'll tell you the whole story

So, to be honest and frank

I’ll walk the true plank

And say that reading all this

Makes me want to hiss…

Out with the thoughts in my brain...

But, ‘twill be a bad stain

On these holy forums so pure

So, my perverted mind will demur.

Cuz if I write what I’m really thinkin’

There’ll be all of youse indignantly blinkin’

Is this fellow insane?

Is he outta his brain?

With thoughts as gory as this,

And pervy sorta things that rhyme with thorny and miss,

You belong in the zoo, good gosh,

Is GYE enough for you? Hogwash!

So, I’ll just slink away and hide,

In the dark shadows, wait out the tide

While Hechochma goes “sliding and slipping”,

To the Mikvah I’ll go, a dipping,

Where I hope to find The Rabbi, alive

In those frozen waters, did he survive?!

Eerie, lingerie, you did wear

James did it, at gunpoint...your worst nightmare

A blood curdling shriek

From Benny’s old car, did leak,

A gaping hole on the side of his neck,

Where James lustily bit him, WTH?

The story is frozen in time,

Waiting for closure, the clocks final chime

But on second thought…let’s leave it at that

So I can continue to fantasize, while wearing the Sorting Hat

Nobody from GYE emerges unscathed from the horror

Unleashed ​by James the zombie, bitter like Marorr

If you’re signed in here, on GYE’s hallowed pages

There's a chapter 'bout you, one for the ages!

He's fighting in Gaza the War of Iron Swords
You think a bulletproof vest will stop the power of Cords?!
The effort of rhyming is making me Shvitz
How can I outdo the great Gimpelovitz!
And if bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you
I'm certainly happy that true-ups can too
The more I hear about Benny's story's REAL end
I shiver and think - "Heaven Forfend"
With the rise of the Dark Lord inside here
"We are only as strong as we are united."

PS - You're still the best YKW (Please don't sic Nagini on me!!!)
