Some great posts on our forum from the warriors of GYE
Posted by "Bochur28": One idea that helps me guard my eyes is what the Ibn Ezra says on the mitzvah of "Lo sachmod - do not covet". He asks, how can the Torah command us to not covet? It's not really in our control and it's so easy to stumble in, so how can it be a mitzvah? The answer is - says the Ibn Ezra - that just as a pauper knows that it's not shayach for him to marry a princess and hence he does not desire her, so too, each one of us must not desire things that the Ribono shel Olam has not given us, since it's not shayach to us. And we should know that if we in fact had them, it would not be good for us anyway.

Posted by "Ano-nymous":
Whenever a bad thought comes to me, I think of an image of a beautiful waterfall, and the bad images leave immediately. I'm working on not staring in the streets. A couple times I had to literally tear my head away. This is so hard sometimes that it hurts me to do it. But the Yetzer Hara tricks you by getting you to look into the future. He says "look how much you enjoy this! How are you going to go without this for such a long time?". He used this to keep me from seriously trying to stop for years, but now I just look at today. I also look backwards and see how far I've come. But I try not to look ahead. Trying to imagine how hard it will be in the future is like looking down from atop a tightrope. You will fall and severely hurt yourself. So, DON'T LOOK DOWN! Just look at today. As we say in Kriyas Shema twice a day: "Asher Anochi Metzavecha Hayom - which I have commanded you today!" | | | | Please help us continue helping Yidden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please use our new donation page.
