Breaking Free Chizuk #1422 - Are you having a hard time in your marriage, too? http://conta.cc/1NR4s9j

According to the non-profit Fight The New Drug (FTND), which relies on dozens of studies for its po*******hy data, "men who go to prostitutes are twice as likely to have watched a p**n film in the last year compared to the general population."

In a discussion on dating and "whether those with attractive wives have it any easier with their addiction" (see this thread), Dov posted a beautiful reply that can really open our eyes to what recovery is supposed to be all about. Dov writes:

Breaking Free Chizuk #1418 - 12 Steps? Not Again! http://conta.cc/1P0PIXj

The GYE forums are often breeding grounds for heated discussions / arguments for and against 12-Step groups, whether or not they are in accordance with the Torah, and why or why not the Torah hasn’t been enough to stop the struggling Yid from his behaviors.

Breaking Free Chizuk #1417 - 4 people you should tell... http://conta.cc/1nPKJlw

Anyone who has tried to quit watching p**n before probably knows that it is a lot harder to do alone. This is because po*******hy feeds off of our isolation and makes it harder and harder to get help. Even though it’s hard, involving important people in our journey to recovery is a HUGE step for alm…

GYE Member: "I was on the GYE website when some chatted with me and said that he is triggered. This was the first time someone else complained to me about their situation, since usually I am the complainer. However, I am still new to this, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do and what ideas to gi…

Breaking Free Chizuk #1412 - You Are Talented, Beautiful, and ... Humble http://conta.cc/1WviKn6

Being humble does not mean thinking less of yourself. It means thinking of yourself less often. But we must recognize our good qualities - and true humility demands giving credit to our Maker for those.

I am a broken k'li. I used to be molei busha uch'limah (filled with shame and embarrassment) while acting out. In recovery, I have come to see that I am a k'li sh'vurah (a broken vessel). That's when all my busha and ch'lima leaked out. Now I'm empty. Only Hashem can fill me with his Light now.And l…

Parsha Recovery: Bo http://conta.cc/233Ghjv

This is the week when the Yidden left Mitzraim. It's a good week for us to shake off our own personal Mitzraim - as in "metzer", constraints - and take a real action towards recovery. One action that we all can take does not even involve much doing - but can have drastic results. It's the action of…

Therein, G‑d revealed to Moses the secret of Pharaoh's power and the power of all evil—that, in essence, it is truly nothing more than the audacious misappropriation of the power of G‑d. In other words, the source of evil is the independent ego and the ultimate independence of ego is not the rejecti…

Breaking Free Chizuk #1407 - Weakness or Strength? http://conta.cc/1TTGGi8

This Shabbos is perhaps the most powerful Shabbos of Shovavim since we read about Yetzias Mitzrayim. In a spiritual sense, everyone of us is given a chance this Shabbos to leave the Mitzrayim of the Yetzer Hara behind us once and for all.

Breaking Free Chizuk #1406 - 3 Problems, 5 Solutions http://conta.cc/1OeGMj5

P**n was our escape. A destructive and co-dependent escape, but an escape nonetheless. When hard times came into our lives, we would dodge them and go running for a fix rather than dealing with them head on. The release we felt from using p**n would numb us to the bumps and bruises of life while sim…
