164 days now bh

I mentioned before but had a fall afterwards 
So had more important things on my mind

In the past years I got used to go sleep in the morning and wake up at night 
That was literally my schedule 

since I started working I have no choice I wake up last minute runnnn to work 
And it’s over two years and almost didn’t daven shachris 
I need to figure out how to be up everyday on time and daven 
I feel miserable not davening
My father is giving and giving 
And I couldn’t care less

Feel so stupid 
but tried million times 
and nothing changed besides me getting more upset 

That has to change right now 
I am writing now this post 
And we need to figure this out 
Can anyone relate?

Hi, I see I'm late to the game here...
First of all your story is really painful, but really inspiring at the same time.
I struggle with the same issue of davening, I too feel terrible that I don't give back to hashem even a fraction of what our father is giving me,
But its important to remember, that its not out of resentment to hashem that you are not davening, just that P/M makes a person feel so far from hashem, that he can't connect to the tefilah, So for now the most important thing to remember is that you are working to fix the issue, by working on your nisyonos you will automatically feel closer to hashem, but for now just feel good that you are doing the right thing, and this is the process to daven better...

(For me I decided that the first thing is to at least put on tefilin in a minyan every day, even I don't daven every word... And when the Y"H tries to make me feel bad about it, I tell myself that I agree it is a problem, but the solution to it is what I'm actively doing...)

i can relate.  there were times in my life that i was barely davening.  how are the other tefilos?  best advice i have is to find something attainable and commit to it.  for example, start with become very committed to davening mincha with a minyan or perhaps friday morning shacharis would be easier etc... whatever you feel is workable for you.  once you are consistently doing that it should become easier view yourself differently and to slowly change the rest of your habits regarding tefila.

Definitely can relate to difficulties with shachris.

This is going to sound like such a small thing, but switching to this type of alarm clock (I found a much cheaper one than the link) and going to bed on time were very helpful. Not sufficient, but very helpful.

I'm currently working on trying to find enjoyment in davening - basically using the TBOTG approach.

It's not all or nothing.

Definitely the very first step is to put on tefillin and say shema every day. That takes five minutes and you can do that no matter how much you struggle with shachris.

Perhaps try talking to Hashem in your mother tongue. The main point in תפילה is the connection that it fosters with 'ה. Often the reason people don't connect to Davening is because having כונה in words that need to be translated in our minds is hard work. If this the issue, then talking to 'ה in English or Yiddish about the things that matter to you in your own words can help.

A gitten Chanukah
Today I watched the lecht it had a different meaning to me my eyes were shining for simche
I decided to do something I waited 13 years

So here is my story 
it’s about time to give it out 
12 years 

I was raised in chasidish family 
to good loving parents bh bh

As I got to the age that my nisyones started popping in and I wasn’t told anything what’s waiting for me in the coming years 
I was just drove in pure evil 
At first I was just Mast.. 
I had no idea what I am doing 
I was 11 years and my shame started building up
Lust for woman also came in so hardly 
And couldn’t talk to anyone just doing bad things 
Till one day I got access sadly to a Unfiltered Smartphone 
I had no idea what it is
The first app that came up was google 
I learned that I can search whatever my heart desires 
So as my desires were woman I searched for that
And when google sees you searching for this 
they know exactly what you need
and they are gladly helping you getting what you ask 
And I got to porn of course 
11 years old
I was so shocked I was in toilet for hours 
this went on for 5 years 
usually I had easy access 
if not I would go in ppls house without permission and using their computer 
or I would grab newspaper and run in toilet or I would watch in window to be able to see one woman to fill my lust
I did more crazy things I can’t write over here 
It went on from day to day week to week month to month year to year 
and I didn’t share for one person 
hours of porn that damaged me for life 
at the age of 17 I got my own phone with open access to internet 
so the yetzer made it easier 
I didn’t had to do crazy things 
just go to bed and…:

Thats what I did day after day
till I got married by 20
sometimes few times a day

Ohhhhhh
writing this down breaks my heart 
I wanna cry
We are in such tough times 
And leaving your child dealing with it him self is nothing helpful NOTHING!!! 
my opinion my experience 

I was going with a cycle 
and crying and crying 
and couldn’t say a word for anyone 

one time I watched on my uncle computer and he caught me and told my father 

all my father told me is 
I’m not telling you what to do just make sure nobody finds out anymore 

I was so mad
I still can’t look at this uncle 
so much shame 

I wanna go on with my story 
I just got stuck and heartbreaking 
bringing back these memories 

So I got married to my wonderful wife bh
I loved her from first second 
but after a few weeks I realized that one girl will not end 10 years of garbage 
and I started again watching even I promised my self that this is it 

I watched and did more crazy stuff 
and till one day 
little bit after my first baby the day came and my wife caught me
That night was something I can’t think about 
but I need to give it out of me 
She was on the way to her mother crying and yelling on tone 11
Ohhhhh hashem
Nobody should ever have this 
The first time someone finds out in since I started 10 years before and it was my wife
My partner I promised to be a good husband and not to go under her back 
and in one second I lost everything 
And I begged her with tears in my eyes
Please stay here 
I promise I’ll stop 
she wasn’t impressed at all

She told me 
You are not interested in me 
You are working behind me
I don’t trust you 
I’m going to my mother 

I blocked the door 
I begged her 

She never heard of porn before 
and she just knew that I looked at other woman because I don’t like her 

I couldn’t change her mind 
I begged her 
please let’s call a professional 
I’ll start therapy 
I’ll do whatever it takes 

After hours she agreed to wait till tomorrow and will call relief 

Thank god
for this organization 
in a few days I got a therapist 

these days we’re so hard so painful so depressing 

Maybe you will look at this as crazy 
but when my wife learned that it’s something thats a struggle and has nothing to do with her my wife wanted to go out eat a day after 
she is so so caring 
I know it was her darkest day
but she worked so hard and together we are getting so much healthier and happier 
I wanna thank her for everything she did to me 

I was terrified from this day 
I stayed clean for 155 days bh
my therapist helped me a lot 
and with hashems help I reached milestones I didn’t ever had bh

Just one problem I had 
Something called SMARTPHONE 
and with this in my pocket 
Life was miserable 
even if I was clean bh
I will say it again 
with this in my pocket my life was miserable!!!

Hashem gave us  a really hard nisoen
I know brothers and sisters its tough 
But as ppl here in this family 
I want to share my two cents 
my experience 

ITS IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!

Throw it away please 
your life will start shining 
I know that’s not the solution 
but with this all the hard work you do to be healthy you are just making it impossible 

And because of this my story is not finished yet and on day 155 after all what happened to me before after all I promised all I committed all I worked all I cried to hashem 
I had a fall
After that fall my wife reaction was double from last time  and I didn’t had much to tell her 

I was so lost  We both cried and we were lost 

During the period I was clean that 155 days  I signed up here on GYE I got many feedback that HHM can help  I contacted via email but I couldn’t call him  I had shame from years and it was impossible for me

that night I decided that’s my only way  I asked my wife before you leave me please give me a chance to call someone  she agreed bh

I don’t know what HHM told her but this guy changed my life  I gave up my phone that day and started to work with him and bh bh
The impossible became possible  and bh now I am 158 days clean and I’m growing each day  instead of all these years I dropped each day

there is so much more to say here but maybe In future posts 

I just wanna take a moment to talk to to you my dear brothers over here I know that feeling of  It’s impossible  Its the hardest thing ever It’s never gonna stop
Please listen to me 
I promise there is a way out 
Hashem created this nisoen
He knows how it feels too and he is watching you and he is ready to give you strength to fight 
There is a way out 
We can help you 
Throw your phone in garbage and start living this world erlich and peaceful  It can be your reality soon I will do whatever I can to help you  there are many other ppl here that can Just don’t give up 
the good days are right in front of you 
This is very tough business 
But with Hashem help this can be history  you are not alone and you will be healthy and happy very soon 
sorry for long posts 
I hope you can learn from it
For me it was a therapy session
