Debunking Myths

MYTH #1: MY STRUGGLE PROVES THAT I'M A LOSER

You may fear that if anyone were to find out about your (probably secret) struggle, they wouldn't be able to love or accept you. Rest assured that this is a common fear of guys who come to the GYE program. While other people may have difficulty understanding your particular struggle, most would be more empathetic than you think as P&M is the nisayon of our generation. As they learn more about your problem and witness your progress in overcoming it, they'll likely become strongly supportive of you.

Once you've learned the skills, tools, and know-how to overcome your negative behavior, we know that you'll succeed in recovery as so many others have from the GYE program.

True or false?

A friend of yours struggles with gambling. Suffering from a gambling addiction means they are a loser who has no innate value.

MYTH #4: MASTURBATION IS A NEED; IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO RESIST.

Some guys assume that single guys need to masturbate because their urges would be intolerable if they didn't. However, those who've successfully abstained from masturbation have found that while it felt uncomfortable in the short term, there was no unbearable "build-up".

"I used to think back when I was regularly motzi zera levatala [masturbating] that it would be impossible for me to stop completely and that I would necessarily fail even if I tried to stop. And that's exactly what happened. Every time. Until I found GYE. I learned something important - I was capable of restraint. Masturbation was NOT something that I needed to be happy. In fact, I found myself feeling happier, more satisfied, and more fulfilled without it." @Ftndrug

True or false

I have never successfully exercised restraint before. Restraining myself from doing something I enjoy is always just too unbearable.
