Separating Porn and Masturbation

  • It is also advisable that you continue separating pornography and masturbation. Even if you struggle a bit more with masturbation but are keeping your eyes and mind clean, it is an awesome accomplishment. Pornography is terribly destructive - it totally corrupts our thinking about women, with many serious side effects..... #Hashem Help Me[1]

One day at a time

  • I can only say that it may be a better idea to adopt a “one day at a time” attitude as opposed to committing to never acting out again for all of eternity. It’s difficult for your yetzer hara to accept that he’ll never be able to do it again. However if you push him off and say “I’m open to falling, let’s just wait till tomorrow “ you’ll have an easier fight. #OivdeElokim[2]
