Warm wishes for a continued Freilichin Chanuka!
I just want to share with the GYE family how inspired I am by every single one of us! As I lit the מנורה tonight and I thought about the מסירות נפש that Klal Yisroel fought with and how in return 'ה in an act of love and savoring of their עבודה bestowed upon them the נס of פך שמן I immemdietely thought of all you incredible chevra. The מסירות נפש each and every one you that you invest of one selves in this fight is incredible. The שאיפה for growth, non-complacently, and גדלות in which it takes to fight this battle of קדושה is awesome. Just a short list of accomplishments by all of you:
- The courage admit I have a problem- to merely sign up and check out the website
- The hours put in reading, watching, and learning from the amazing website
- The streaks started, broken, restarted again, and again
- The tremendous withdrawal experienced by many during the beginning of the process, and fighting through it
- The crazy מסירות נפש of sharing one's story
- The amazingly painful (and equally rewarding) step of calling someone and making friends
- The hours spent responding to others' on the forum giving chizuk
- The speaking on the phone and sharing one's story to help others
- The tremendous amount of work being done to rectify bad habits/relationships
The list goes on and on! Which is why I truly feel blessed to be part of this family!! May the Eibester help all of you מדה כנגד מדה , just as you push yourself to your brink למעלה מן טבעך, so to Hashem shall respond with נסים ממש למעלה מן הטבע and help us all win this fight together!!
חזק ואמץ, you guys are all the best!!!!
באהבה עזה,
מנוחת הנפש
Chanuka is mesugal for a zman Aliya. I’ve been following your thread and share in your accomplishments as you obtain menuchas hanefesh. As you noted in your posts, the chizuk from other Chevra on Gye really goes a long way in battling the urge. That has helped me more than the other Material on the web site.
