I was once walking/running/driving/skateboarding (I don't really remember)and saw a a very attractive woman. I averted my eyes and thought to myself, "$#@!, I can never enjoy that again."

...then I thought to myself, "No. Just today"

It helped a lot

Is that white Knuckling? I think not.


I'm not 100% sure what you meant by "that" and "that again."

If you meant that lookin' a second time is enjoyable and just for this time you won't take that second look, that is not white-knucklin' at all....that is the perfect example of "one day at a time" (although others had other definitions above).

If you meant somethin' else, please clarify.

thanks

That's what I meant
Roy in the SA White Book noted that we frequently prayed and it did not work...because the best we could muster was begging G-d to "Please take it away, so I will not have to give it up!
