I am happy
to report that by the grace of God I am not strugling with pornography on the internet
these days, that was not always the case. It has been a MAJOR problem for
me, and many people I know. In my own experiance I did not "get
sober" through the reportyoureyes program, rather I have been working
in therapy, taking medication and continualy working a 12Step program, I
believe that without such a a help as ReportYourEyes many people
will remain too "high" to be able to take the
necesary steps. How is that for "chizuk"?

It is very important to call a Asifas Rabunim of all Rabunim to discuss
the Grave Problem of internet. Also should the Rabunim sign a Kol Koira
that there is a isus yichud on internet unless you have 3 shomrim.

I would
like to express my thanks to the founders of that great idea. Though I did not
start using it, but I’ll most likely be a member of this soon.
But at the same time I’d like to recommend that you have a free trial period just like most of the memberships offered on the web.
Keep up with your good work.

The following is adapted from an email I just sent to a
friend of mine:
------
I have had Internet access for most of the past several years
and during the overwhelming majority
of that period (well over 99%), I have not gone to lewd sites. However, there
have been a few brief interludes when, in moments of weakness, I let myself
fall into this quicksand and each and every time it has been severely
detrimental for me, having repercussions that continue long afterward, and in
fact, forever.
Just now, over the past two days, I fell back into this
trap, after almost a year since the last time I did. Although I have not gone
back since last night, I cannot trust myself because all it takes is one moment
of weakness for me to cause myself further irreparable harm and suffering in
mere seconds.
I look back with bitter irony at how when I first got the
Internet, I was so sure I'd never go to such sites and even dismissed friends
of mine who warned me of the danger.
I am asking you to help in the following ways:
1. Be sure to periodically check-in with me to inquire
about this. Just knowing that I will have to answer to you should act as a deterrent.
2. Insist upon checking my computer or my having someone
else do so, to track where I have been online.
I have heard numerous times that merely deleting
"internet files" and clearing history in IE does not in fact erase
all of this from the hard-drive and that anyone who knows how can view these
things.
My friend replied by telling me about a program called
"Report Your Eyes" which sounded excellent and I wanted to share it
here.
www.reportyoureyes.com (be sure to include the www)
And they have info. on it from a Torah perspective,
including a drosha by the Viener Ruv, shlita and some other material in
Yiddish:
http://www.reportyoureyes.com/drushos.html
I will b'li neder be giving my modem to someone to hold
for me unless and until I set this or something similar up.
NOTES:
[1] This posuk is brought in Shulchan Aruch: Even HaEzer,
21: 3, where it says:
[loose translation]
"It is permitted for a man to look at an unmarried woman
to determine if he finds her beautiful enough to marry her, whether she is a
virgin or not, and not only that [that it is permitted] but it is indeed proper
to do so. However, he may not look at her in a lewd manner, and concerning this
it is stated "Bris karati b'eini umah esbonein al besulah" (Iyov
31:1).
Follow-ups concerning this should be directed to an
appropriate forum, such as "Finding Your Bashert".
