Step 18 - going Back

One of the most important steps is to go back as soon as possible.
If the spirit of the powers will rise up against you , don't leave your place - Koheles 10: 4.
Rav Miller ztl explained that the Yetzer hora tries to knock us down in many ways. He can get us to do foolish things & then convince us to run far away which only makes things worse.
Rather , we have to pick up the pieces & go back & Hashem will help us do teshuva. It is embarassing , it hurts & it is difficult but in the long run it is the best approach. Stay on the path , stay determined that you will hold on no matter what & Hashem will make it work in incredible ways.
Now may be a good time for a gem of Torah study.
