Welcome to the GuardYourEyes Community

Welcome to the GuardYourEyes community, a vibrant network and fellowship of religious Jews of all affiliations, struggling to purify themselves and break free from inappropriate behaviors stemming from Lust addiction.
With the advance of technology and the ease of availability and privacy that the internet provides, it has become a daily struggle for many religious Jews to remain Erlich (morally and ethically upright) even in their own homes. Jewish Leaders, Rabbis and Experts worldwide, are beginning to speak out about this serious problem more and more.
Our network is comprised of a website: www.guardureyes.com, a …

 The GYE Partner Program

E-Mail / Chat / Phone Partners

In the SA groups, one of the main strategies for staying "clean" when feeling weak is to pick up the phone and make a call to another struggling member. As they say, "Lust glows in the dark". When we get our goofy thoughts into the open, the lust quickly fades. Also, simply talking it out helps us "get out of our head" and reconnect to real life instead of staying our nutty fantasy worlds.

To help everyone …

Shalom Rabbosia- tough day today. My son was sick the entire night and I stayed up with him for most of the night. I woke up late and felt that aimlessness – my wife dropped him off at Gan and ran off to work – and just felt aimless. What now? I can’t be late to learning – but I can’t keep my eyes open.
Normally, my response would have been to escape my aimlessness by acting out – a way of being able to say that I was helpless, and …

 "X-addict" posted on our forum:
Hello, regards from Stamford Hill. I’m 20 years old and have a computer with internet access in my room. I used to be a crazy addict, seriously now, I was, like, the king of p**n, but things in my life have recently come crashing down, and it’s made me turn to God as opposed to pressing the self destruct button.
I have tried everything in the past to stop watching p**n, I mean everything (except throwing my PC out the window). …

Before I begin, I reiterate that this letter is written by a Yid-little mr. yechida here. Your husband did not know I would write this and certainly didn’t ask me to. It’s important that you keep this in mind as you read this letter.
An important disclaimer: every life and every marriage is unique. Some may go through extraordinary situations beyond the scope of the norm. If chas v’sholom one of you is suffering from a serious illness such as cancer or the like, or the illness and death of a …

 Dear all,
       I just wanted to let you all know about my success with hypnotherapy. I had 6 one hour sessions at £65 pre hour. I explained that I wanted to completely eradicate my desire for p**n and m****bation (which are very related) which suprised my therapist but he said that if I believed I could stop then it would work. This is the key, you have to believe in yourself that you can refrain from looking at internet p**n, and we all can do this! We are …

According to Kabbala, from midnight and on is considered a time of Rachamim (divine mercy) even though it is still in middle of the night. Yet from midday and on is considered a time of Din (divine judgement), even though the sun is still high in the sky. Although this seems strange, the reasoning is beautiful. From midday and on, the sun has already began it’s journey to setting; we are already facing towards the night and is therefore a time of Din. On the other hand, from midnight, …

Duvid Chaim’s Phone Conference
How long is each session – from noon till when? 
Each session is one hour long. The Call begins at Noon East Coast time. Callers will benefit the most from being on the Call for the entire hour – but if time constraints are an issue then you can participate as long as time will allow.
And what about privacy?
As the Sponsor/Moderator, I expect each participant to commit to the maximum respect for privacy and confidentiality. Callers can use made-up names if they so choose.
How many sessions does it take?
There are Four Sessions …

How do I reveal to my wife what I’m going through and get her to agree to let me join the SA groups?
 
There are only three ways I know of to "get your wife to allow it", my sweet friend:  
 
One is by getting caught and losing a job or two over it until she finally begs you to do something – anything – to save your marriage, family, etc.
 
A second, is to detail to her exactly what it is like for you in your problem: what you do, how you do it, how …
